They called it "the widget". Can't say I was too proud of my (minor) role in its marketing.</p> In this country they went for nitrogen rather than CO2, which meant that the beer had a hand-pulled effect head to it, but was still warm.

Pulling the ring tab expelled the CO2 and chilled the beer. Never got into production, though. If one were organised enough to buy self-chilling beer cans one would probably remember to bring an eskie. This stand-alone chiller should fair a bit better.</p> I saw this on an Australian inventors show 20 years ago, but it was built into the can.
