Only interns should be forced to drink warm soda at work. – Frankie Fix-It

Favorite Comment: Anodean says, “Actually, the soda belongs to a guy outside the picture on the far right. When he decides it’s cold enough, he will roll a bowling ball across the shelf, which will dislodge the broom and cause it to *ahem* sweep around in a broad arc and deliver the bottle to him.”

    I want to see the Coke falling down ;-)

  2. KC says:

    Something feels very public library about this. Weird.

  3. Jeff says:

    I’ve done this, and it works great. Although, our AC was a floor-mounted unit, so you could just set a can of soda on top of the vent and it would be chilled.

  4. boringTroll says:

    I use vent hoses, so the coke can be on my desk. Bring the cold to down.

    • boringTroll says:

      [Phone call mid post.] Should read: Bring the cold down to where you need it, rather than putting the soda up.

      • Squirrel says:

        At work, I use a mini-fridge hooked up to an Uninterruptible Power Supply (I love being in IT, you get all of the goodies).

  5. Little Beast says:

    This is the most genius sprinkler system ever built :
    In case there is a fire, the broom stick will burn, a mentos placed on top of the broom falls into the coke bottle, … fountain, fountain, splash, splash, splash, … fire is gone !

  6. SpaceFairie says:

    Clearly the cap is off that bottle already, it’s an airfreshener. This guy is just trying to cover a band smell with that of flat coke.

    That’s awesome! If the sweeper I used to drive had AC, I would have done that. I used to just freeze a bottle otr two o0f water or Gatorade (made from fresh-squeezed gators, no less) and drink it as it melted.

    I always hat a hot lunch, though. I would poke a hole in the top of a can of stew, chili, or whatever; or wrap up meat and vegetables in many layers of foil, and wire the whole mess to the side of the turbocharger. Everything would be hot or cooked by lunch break. I hear tell they call that “muffler meat”.

    • Anodean says:

      The guy on the right in the picture is viewing the apparatus with concern, because he hears the bowling ball and has learned that the bottle will clip him behind the ear as it travels roughly 50% of the time.

      What a Rube…

  9. Tyggs says:

    I’ve had to do similar tricks in my truck before with the a/c vents…

  10. omgudidwhat? says:

    Tis a great way to keep my candy bars from melting while drivin. :)

  11. Hans says:

    more funny the guy left has no monitor but a bag awesome cyber coffee (or whatever)

  12. Kevin K says:

    I’ve done this myself while traveling in India. Great way to have non-ickifying restaurant leftovers for breakfast. Worked great!

  13. Tubok says:

    You know? This shouldn’t really work very well. I mean how cold is the air coming out of one of those things? Can’t be less than 60-65 degrees. I guess that’s cooler than room temp, but not even close to coming out of a 35-38 degree refrigerator or using a glass and ice.

    I’d also like to nominate Devin’s blatant attempt at appearing superior to those of us slummy enough to drink soda as the non-sequitur of the day. Do I hear a second? :D
