Passing through the local Farm Store yesterday I spied what I initially thought was a great invention - self heating cans of things like hot chocolate or tomato soup. Push a button and let 'er heat up for 3 minutes.

What a great idea for a weekend where near single digit temp's are forecast and my son and I will be deer hunting. Steaming hot chocolate 3 minutes after pressing the button via a chemical reaction; I assume, need to check out www.hot-can.com for the actual details....

What a splendid product..... until I popped near 3 USD per can, and read the fine print after I got home. DO NOT store in temperatures outside the range of 50-90F. Who on earth wants hot chocolate when it is a balmy 80?

They almost knocked one outta the park. Almost.


Have a good day man. In honor of personal freedom and the open squirrel season, I think I'll go put a hole through dinner's head.
