If you’re into road-tripping and keeping food cool and groovy, then the VW Fridge should be parked in your kitchen.
Brought to us by European appliance giant, Gorenje, and Volkswagen themselves — the retro fridge is made to resemble a 50s/60s-era VW Microbus, while shaped like a vintage refrigerator.
No worries, there’s a matching toaster if you need to accessorize.

When he’s not helping to save a universe or projecting holograms of pretty princesses, R2-D2 can make a handy drink servant… Just ask Jabba.
The R2-D2 Mini-Fridge is not only an exact replica of our favorite little droid, but it’s a fully-functional drink cooler/robot slave.
But wait, there’s more… Just like the real thing, the droid fridge will bring your drinks to you via remote control — so there’s no need to move. Just like Jabba.
It’s not for sale yet, but check it out.

We were once teased with a fake Han Solo in carbonite refrigerator, and we’ve pined for its existence ever since.
Now, even though it’s a bit smaller, the Han Solo in Carbonite Refrigerator now exists. The mini-fridge depicts Jabba The Hutt’s favorite trophy, and will hold up to 18 cans of your favorite beverage.
Perfect for a Star Wars fan with a small apartment, or if you need to keep a few beverages cool in your evil lair (office cubicle). Check it out here.

Personality tests and palm readings are for suckers. To get some real insight on someone’s personality, we apparently need to look no further than the contents and layout of their fridge.
What Your Fridge Says About You, brought to us by Rhett & Link, takes us through the polar repository of a few different kinds of people, telling us everything we need to know about the person responsible for stocking it.
Unless that darn fridge light bulb is out again. Then we can only tell that they’re irresponsible.

Settle down, Star Wars geeks… This Han Solo in Carbonite Refrigerator is merely a product of Photoshop. But rest easy — the concept won the popularity vote as part of B3TA’s “Fridges” challenge. So surely there’s someone somewhere that’ll make this fridge a reality. Editors note: Someone somewhere. please make this fridge happen, pretty please.
