Coming Soon: Self-Heating Coffee

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the and-we-just-thought-flavia-was-cool dept.

prostoalex writes "In 2005 Wolfgang Puck will start selling containers of self-heating coffee, USA Today says. The combination of calcium oxide and water will heat the coffee to 145 degrees and keep it warm for the next 30 minutes. The coffee will be sold in regular grocery stores, and folks at Fool.com tell Starbucks to watch out as this product, coming from a well-known chef, might target those of us grabbing a cup of hot latte on the way to work."

    In the trend of destroying songs by turning them into advertising:
    Instant Ramen's gonna get you
    Gonna knock you right on the head
    You better get yourself together
    Pretty soon you're gonna be fed
    What in the world you thinking of
    Laughing in the face of soup
    What on earth you tryin' to do
    It's up to you, yeah you

    You obviously haven't had coffee in awhile.

    Starbucks is crap -- but there are gas stations that have "good" coffee.

    I am not sure if this is Insightful or Funny? Both seem possible. But a lot of gas stations have some pretty good coffee shops in them. It is kinda funny though my Credit Card Gives me 3% on Gasoline Purchases, And when I went to a coffee shop in the mall my credit card company gave me 3% back from my purchase there. Making me think that there are some Gasoline shops that have this coffee shop their.

    If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.

    Insightful.

    If you want good coffee, you can probably find a roaster nearby. Or your grocery store will sell a slew of "gormet" coffees.

    Also, Wolfgang Puck is functionally retarded.

    Is that why he talks funny?

    Absolutly, especially with the exchange rates at the moment (almost 2USD to the pound). I read an article in the paper the other day that concluded it cost about the same to fly from London to New York for the weekend and do all of your xmas shopping there as it would to buy all your shopping on the British high street, and you get to spend the weekend in New York.
