FRIGOMAT cools liquid as it is pumped from bottle into glass. The plastic German device fits any type beverage bottle. It was unveiled at Frankfurt International Fair.
This was a breakthrough invention until NASA developed ice cubes three years later. lol

Ice cubes, wonderful invention, automatically dilute your drink. Unlike this that doesn’t dilute your drink.

Cute idea - basically a small portable application of coil-type liquid coolers.
The innards of this thing are likely a cheap siphon pump and a coil of tubing. Insert ice, pump drink from A to B through tube, drink gets cold.

So, Mike, you’re assuming that everyone in Germany in 1957 owned a refrigerator with a freezer? At a time when a significant percentage of the German population was still living in temporary shelters because their homes had been levelled?
Ho-kay.
