This week’s question: A Japanese company is offering a new way to beat the heat: A one-person “human refrigerator” that blasts the sitting occupant with 41-degree air during a 5- to 10-minute session. In seven or fewer words, come up with an advertising slogan that could be used to pitch Americans on this cooling invention.

THE WINNER: The coolest seat in the house
