So California company OnTech spent 7 years and 24 million bucks to develop a coffee can filled with quicklime so that you can have a hot latte in seven minutes. Its market: "the people who want to have hot coffee in their car without going anywhere or cooking anything at home" says OnTech Prez Jonathan Weisz.

"I'm not trying to replace your dinner, but when you're on your way to work and you need some oatmeal and you can't get to the microwave, we will be there for you," "This is going to be a huge, huge part of society in the United States. In two years everyone will be drinking from self-heating containers."

and throwing them out their windows. How do you recyle this? How do you justify this? How do we tell everyone to boycott Wolfgang Puck until he pulls his name off this? Will all the eco-celebs boycott Spago? ::New York Times by [LA]


thats crazy .

but one of the self heating cans exploded already so eeek they might need to fix this product.

what i am worried is about, is how is this okay to our environment when thrown away. none the less this is a cool product and runs about 3 dollars. They have Coffee, hot chocolate and tea so far. Right now they are in the process in making self-heating dinners like soup and baby formula.

oh yea and it heats up to 104 degrees. This product is also from wolf gang puck.

Interesting and convenient for soups or something like that.

It's probably the same idea like wrapping foil around an ice water bottle so it stays cold longer. In the end, it is still going to end up being cold.

Dude, that's crazy.

I wonder how it works exactly. . .
and is it safe?


probably not good for the environment like you said,
and are we humans really getting that lazy,
where we need our cups to heat themselves?

lol

Hm, seems cool, I would like to try one.
But for the environment's sake, they should invent some reusable self-heating cups and sell coffee packages that you could put inside the cup.

There's gotta be a lot of chemicals in that... I don't think I would want that in my body...

edit: wait... does the cup heat up or the coffee?
