It's enough to have any blue-blooded, true South African manne frothing at the mouth and queueing overnight outside hi-tech retail shops - a beer launching bar fridge.  According to a blog on USA Today, this amazing invention is a dream come true for dedicated beer lovers. Just ease back into the recliner, remote-control the latest Super 14 match, and have your favourite frostie tossed into your eager mitts. The revolutionary fridge is controlled by a keyless entry system. Simply press unlock to start the catapult arm rotating, press unlock again when it's aimed at you, and press lock to launch. The fridge, according to its ingenious inventor, holds a full case of beer, 10 beers in its magazine and 14 in reserve. Gives new meaning to service delivery, doesn't it?
