Self Heating Coffee

This mocha latte coffee product cost $2.50 at the grocery store. Expensive until you compare to premium drinks from places like Starbucks. This is a drink you can carry around and it packs the chemical punch to heat itself. First, you open the metal lid on the bottom of the container. This reveals a heavy clear plastic button filled with green liquid. You press firmly on the button and the green liquid drains to a place you can't see. After 10 seconds, you flip the container and let it sit for 8 to 10 minutes. After this time has passed, a pink dot changes to white. Ready to drink. You spin a plastic lid cover and then pull another metal lid off the top. Finally time to enjoy. The product was very hot and actually very good. It only contained about 9 1/2 ounces of consumable liquid. When I had consumed it all, the thing still weighed a lot. Nifty idea, but somehow I doubt it is very environmentally friendly.



Treat the following picture as a warning. Worst Hershey's product ever. This is a chocolate bar with browny bits. Nice idea, but the browny bits were crunchy and tasted like crushed Oreo cookie crumbs coated with artificial browny flavor. Not good. Avoid.
