         3 . The rapid-chilling system of  claim 1 , the agitation tank comprising one or more liquid jets to create a vortex of liquid around the container. 
     
     
         4 . The rapid-chilling system of  claim 1 , the agitation tank comprising one or more removable baskets coupled to the agitation component, the or more removable baskets to receive the container. 
     
     
         5 . The rapid-chilling system of  claim 1 , further comprising a control component to control at least one of a temperature or chill duration of the contents of the one or more containers, the control component comprising a display. 
     
     
         6 . The rapid-chilling system of  claim 5 , wherein to control the at least one of the temperature or the chill duration, the control component is to:
 receive a selection of a desired temperature of the contents of the one or more containers;   determine the temperature or the chill duration based on the desired temperature of the contents; and   modify the at least one of the determined temperature or chill duration to chill the contents to the desired temperature.   
     
     
         7 . The rapid-chilling system of  claim 5 , wherein to control the at least one of the temperature or the chill duration the control component is to:
 receive a selection of a selection of a content type of the contents of the one or more containers; and   determine a desired temperature of the contents of the one or more containers based on the content type; and   control the at least one of the temperature or the chill duration to chill the contents to the desired temperature.   
     
     
         8 . The rapid-chilling system of  claim 7 , the control system to receive the selection wirelessly from a mobile computing device. 
     
     
         9 . The rapid-chilling system of  claim 1 , further comprising a secondary storage tank to maintain a temperature of a liquid stored in the secondary storage tank. 
     
     
         10 . The rapid-chilling system of  claim 1 , wherein the liquid consists of water. 
     
     
         11 . The rapid-chilling system of  claim 1 , wherein the liquid comprises a brine solution. 
     
     
         12 . A method of rapid chilling, comprising:
 cycling a liquid between a cooling tank and a storage tank to chill the liquid to a threshold temperature;   pumping the chilled liquid into an agitation tank, the agitation tank storing one or more containers comprising contents to be chilled; and   agitating the contents of the one or more containers while simultaneously agitating the chilled liquid in the agitation tank.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , further comprising powering one or more of the cooling tank, storage tank, or the agitation tank with solar power. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 12 , further comprising powering one or more of the cooling tank, storage tank, or the agitation tank with a battery. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 12 , further comprising controlling at least one of a temperature or a chill duration corresponding to the contents of the one or more containers to chill the contents to a desired temperature. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein controlling the at least one of the temperature of the chill duration comprises:
 receiving a selection of the desired temperature of the contents of the one or more containers; and   determining the temperature or the chill duration based on the desired temperature of the contents.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein controlling the at least one of the temperature of the chill duration comprises:
 receiving a selection of a content type of the contents of the one or more containers;   determining the desired temperature of the contents of the one or more containers based on the content type; and   determining the temperature or the chill duration based on the desired temperature of the contents.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , further comprising receiving the selection wirelessly from a mobile computing device. 
     
     
         19 . A computer-readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:
 cycle air between a cooling tank and a storage tank to chill the air to a threshold temperature;   pump the chilled air into an agitation tank, the agitation tank storing one or more containers comprising contents to be chilled; and   agitate the contents of the one or more containers while simultaneously agitating the chilled air in the agitation tank.
