That doesn't cool your drink.

Lighter, cool
Cup holder, if someone knocks it over, there goes ur drives . Or it can simply just snap off since its sticking out like that, prone to damage

Well if you don't like the cup holder there is always the USB rocket launcher:

The pole dancer is great.

The USB humping dog on the other hand makes me chuckle for some reason:

Tell me if this crosses the line, I'll delete it, but I just find it incredibly funny.

Ahh well, this one's new and I haven't seen them before. Now all TPU members can have the chance to be enlightened

lol I've never seen any of those except for the rocket laucher lmao ... a pole dancer

The fact that it can warm or chill your drink is new. IIRC they could only chill them before. The thing is I've read a review on this and it doesn't work very well with cans because they only have a small ring that actually makes contact with the plate. It works better if you pour your drink into a cup with a flat bottom. Makes sense. I've always thought about getting one but as of now I haven't had problems finding a lot more useful things to spend my money on.
