Self-Heating Coffee Cans Recalled
Old Man Kensey writes "Apparently those nifty Wolfgang Puck self-heating latte cans, introduced with such fanfare last year, have proven to be buggy -- cans have been reported failing to heat adequately or, more disturbingly, exploding and melting through the packaging. A recall has been announced -- here's hoping the flaws can be 'patched' soon."
Why the hell do they have to come up with stupid ideas like this. This is the kind of thing that really gets my goat. What the hell? If someone could please explain to me the worth of this invention I would be utterly fascinated. What's the matter with the state of coffee as it stands? Not hot enough for you? Or is it the act of pouring that your delicate wrists find too strenuous? Why not invent something useful like a cup that you don't have to throw into the dump that was our planet. Oh wait, they did that already. Too Stupid!
