National Journal's Wake Up Call had this goody in the morning clips:

A homeless man informed us last night of his mechanism for refrigerating beer: "I drink half the six-pack, and stick the rest in the coin-operated Washington Times machines -- you know, cause no one reads that paper. I come back the next day, and I have 3 cold beers waiting for me" (Wake-Up Call! reporting).

We should try this trick with the Richmond Times Dispatch boxes, I bet they are equally suitable cooling/storage devices.
