Can-cooling soccer ball conceals your secret stash

While it might not as, um, USB-powered as another snazzy can cooler, this soccer ball chiller keeps a six "holiday five pack" on ice without anyone knowing what contents reside within the sphere. Joining the growing array of cooling apparatuses designed to keep the heat out of our lives (and chairs), this silver and white conversation piece stands vigilant as your average "soccer ball on a stand" table decoration -- that is, until someone pops the top pentagon down and releases the lid from the base. The insulated ball can hold up to five canned beverages, plugs straight into your AC outlet, and even works in the car via a cigarette lighter adapter. Moreover, now would be a pretty good time to pick one up for next year's Super Bowl bash, especially consider the significantly discounted ¥8,980 ($74) pricetag.

Am I the only one that sees the inherent danger in hiding five carbonated beverages inside a *ball*? (Even a plastic one...)

I foresee some unintended "booms" in the future...

Couple this with a USB powered urinal and I'll never have to leave my PC during countless hours of gaming. We'll except to put more beer in the cooler.

Wow... looks like for once us Brits get something before you everyone else, heh - Shame it's not something I want!!

Hate to say it guys, but this has been in shops over here for MONTHS, and if I remember rightly, sets us back about £20/£25, which my calculations show is much cheaper than the "discounted" price.

Methinks you're thinking about the wrong type of "football" ;)
