The 14 M.P.H. Beer Cooler
When I look at this motorized, scooter-based beer cooler, you know what I see? I see a marauding gang of 12 to 15 frat boys, on spring break, riding from hotel to motel to pool to beach.
That's not a slam on frat boys. You see, the next logical and ridiculously glorious extension of this "14 M.P.H. beer cooler" is that you'd get together with your buddies and form a 14 M.P.H. beer cooler biker gang. Fraternity brothers already have the legendary party skills; they're notorious for pranks; they're in college, so they've got the time; and they could use house funds to equip themselves.
A 500-watt motor drives the cooler, which can hold up to 24 twelve-ounce cans and eight pounds of ice, for a range of 15 miles on a charge. Scooler supports up to 300 pounds. $499.95, from Hammacher Schlemmer [via Restaurant Girl]

How much PBR could $499.95 buy!?!? You'd have the scooter but no money left for beer. All the same, I think you're right, I can totally see this as a frat boy purchase.

The St. Louis Cardinals have one of these a pitcher rides out to the bullpen before each game

That is awesome - my expanding beer gut and couch potato muscle atrophy in my arms makes it near impossible for me to carry my cooler anymore. This is like a 'Lark' cart, but with beer under the seat! Will I have to stand up to get to it, or does it have a side door?

OMG, I want to put food inside. Sorry... I don't drink beer. Maybe a vodka watermelon?! Ooh, can I ride this from Queens to Brooklyn? That'd really cut down on the time it takes me to get from food blogga events back home.

DWI was the first thing I thought about. That story about the guy that got the DWI is too much. Gosh it almost sounded like a GREAT idea!!!!

@j: THANK YOU. That's the best link I've seen all day. Could have been straight from The Onion.
