The Chilly Twist is one of those ideas I wish I had thought of. We rolling-down-the-road RVers have special situations that we have to deal with that house dwellers don't. When I saw the Chilly Twist, I could see how it would fit right into the RV Lifestyle. The Chilly Twist is only a drinking cup, but a cleverly designed one.
The secret to its success is the bottom base, which is filled with a cold-retaining gel, and un-screws from the drinking part of the cup and is placed in the freezer overnight. When you're ready for a cold drink, screw the base onto the bottom of the cup and fill with a cold drink. The gel base keeps the drink cold--for as long as two or three hours at reefer temperatures or below--so that your last sip will be as cold--or colder--than your first. When was the last time your beer treated you with that?
But what makes this an especially good idea for RVers is:
- Heavy base keeps drink from turning over
- No more messing with spilling ice cube trays when traveling
- No more ice cubes diluting drink
- Cups stack to take up minimal space
- The cups come in six colors so you can always identify your cup
- All bases fit all cups (you can change color combinations)
- Unbreakable
- No more throwaway paper cups--good for the earth
- Good for you, too, since they are BPA and lead -free

Sounds good but how long would they keep a drink cold as it sits in the cup holderr of your truck/RV while you travel down the highway?
Anonymous.............READ THE ARTICLE!!! Translation: will keep drinks cold for two to three hours at a temperature as cold as if it were in the refrigerator.
Now if they could put a no-spill lid on it for us drivers, it would be perfect! Even as is, it's a great looking device!
Because everyone knows that cold rises, uh, wait a second...
We are full-timers, and when we hit the road we use plastic glasses with 1 or 2 inches of water frozen in the bottom, put the lid on and you're good to go. I freeze 1-2" of the beverage we will be drinking, when possible, so we don't get diluted drinks.
it sounds like anonymous is doing the same thing with freezing the 1-2 inches of water but the taste/smells from the freezer, the bulkiness of the cups and the dilution if water was used would make a difference. I think the cups sound great.
