I’ve never mastered the skill of solving Rubik’s cubes, but there should be nothing puzzling about this Rubik’s Cube mini fridge. It’s basically a larger-than-life version of a typical (unsolved) Rubik’s cube. Pull on the discrete handle at the side to reveal the insides of the fridge that can fit up to nine cans of stacked soda cans.
Of course, the exterior doesn’t actually turn, so it will remain unsolved forever–or until you replace it. The fridge also comes with a warm and cool setting, so you can use it to keep stuff like leftovers warm and drinks cool.
The Rubik’s Cube mini fridge is available for $149.99.

It’s funny that in this wide world of geekery that this actually isn’t the first Rubik’s Cube chest of drawers I’ve seen. In fact, it’s not even the first one we’ve featured on Technabob. However, this Rubik’s Cube chest of drawers is the first one that you can actually purchase. At least I think so.
This 2-foot-cubic set of drawers was created by engineer/carpenter Scott Blackwell of WoodCurve, and looks just like a giant version of the iconic 1980s puzzle. You can even rotate the drawers on one of the axes, which might make digging around for your socks in the dark a bit of a challenge if someone left any side other than the orange one facing out.
You can get your own Rubik’s Cube chest of drawers for $595(USD) over on Etsy. I’m still waiting for a version that works on both axes before I buy one for myself.
