Spy cam in a Coke can

Somehow, I just cannot take the Spy Coke Can DVR seriously. No, it's not the misspelled "Classic" on the red can. Rather, I'm trying to imagine how people will react when they pick up the drink and try to pop it open.

The gizmo comes with 4GB of onboard memory, which is more than enough for the 640x480-pixel videos it can record. The bottom of the tin opens up to reveal a power switch, USB port, and record/save button. For $17 more, you get a remote control that toggles start and stop for movie capture. Too bad it doesn't come in matching Coke can design.

Among all the spy cameras we've featured on Crave, this one probably won't generate as much fizz, and yes, the pun's intended.

Obviously, this is intended for the idiots in Frat houses that want to record themselves being "intimate" with that special one night stand. And then laugh with their best brahs as they post it on the webnets.

At first, I thought the misspelling of "Classic" as "Clossic" was done on purpose so that they won't get sued. It doesn't say "Coca-Cola" either, but rather "Caco-Cola." I don't know what a Caco is and I don't want to know.

But, when you click on the link, there's another Coca-Cola can and a Coca-Cola Zero spy cam. And they're spelled correctly. Maybe Coca-Cola Company's lawyers did say something. But, I'm guessing the makers are just idiots.

Of course, if you put this on a shelf somewhere, it'll fool people 99% of the time ... as long as they don't actually pick it up.
