Cold Snap was a 2021 Innovation Honoree in the Kitchen Gadgets category. It looks and functions like a larger version of a K cup machine except it dispenses a frozen treat in about 90 seconds. Additionally, plans for the future will include pods for smoothies, frozen coffees, protein shakes, non-dairy ice cream and even frozen cocktails. The pods have QR codes on top which tells the machine how to prepare the contents. It’s said to launch in select locations in the second quarter of 2021 and ship direct to consumers early next year. The price however requires the use of an optional chair to sit in when you hear the price: $1,000. If sales are robust the company said it hopes to eventually bring it down about half that price, but that’s still $500, plus the price of the pods, which are estimated to be somewhere in the $2.50 to $3.00 range. The pod containers are aluminum like a soda can so they can be recycled. Chad thought the price was way up there, and OMG, it is. And the machine is said to weigh 50 pounds! Also Chad didn’t like the fact that it made ice cream so fast! (I guess he wanted to enjoy it more as it slowly filled the bowl.) You see how fast in the video. We finally decided this might be good for a restaurant or an office, but $1,000.00?

A Mini Extra — Chad’s Crappy Corner.
On this week’s show Chad shows off his VIIZII LED Vase! It was a gift from his mom given to Chad knowing it was a perfect item for The Giz Wiz Show. A vase with 6 built in LED Messages. Chad hated the app that was supposed to allow you make up your own message, but never worked. However, I was just on the company website and read something Chad is probably unaware of. If he thought this crappy because of the app, I just read this: “Battery life 20 hours. Battery is not replaceable at this time”…. So you spend $25 for the vase & it doesn’t work after 20 hours. You’ve been warned.
