Ok , guys I was so amazed by this thing! :eek: My Co-worker Brought it in. You buy it at the store (has to be $$$$) and push a button at the bottom to release the water into the cup. Then you wait and flip it over, then with in 6-8 min. it reaches 140*-145* Then you aline the top , open and drink. This thing is right out of the future, It's Crazy! :confused: I found this Blog, with more info and picture on of it. It took them 24 Millon and 10 years to develop this.

must be some sort of chemical reaction.
Would be great for camping for sure!
I've seen soft pouch versions a few years ago in europe. Basically it was just a pouch of hand warmer chemical reaction stuff strapped to a pouch of cocoa. Start the reaction and bam, instant hot cocoa. I'm betting the trick for the US market was making the heating portion of it out of non-toxic stuff. :p
Energy solutions are everwhere. They're just not being utilized properly. =(

Wonder if any regular coffee drinkers would prefer this over a pot?

Acually, that was the first thing that came to my mind :rolleyes:. Think of it it heat's to 140 in 6 to 8 min ahter it's activated. Luckly, that not very hot to do much, or not that I know of anyway. :rolleyes:

Personally I would rather spend $50 on batteries and a portable heater element in the cup rather than the $24 million they spent - at least that is reusable. Seems like a lot of work for something that is disposable.

if they were the same ones that the military uses then yes.
