Self-Heating Coffee Cans Recalled

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the hot-cup-of-joe dept.

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."

    "I've just had a look at the official How It Works (wmv, bleh) video on Wolfgang Puck's site - and there's no mention in the (surprisingly good) explanation that the cans may explode (funny that)."

    Does Ford have an explaination of how the Pinto can explode?

    Sorry to reply to myself

    It's better than a new top level comment, and as we can't edit comments here, it's about the best you can do.

    I guess so - but the fact you can't edit comments is a good thing right?

    Hello?

    Wolfgang Puck self-heating latte cans exploding

    Your hands would be Pucked

    -1 Offtopic? Clearly someone very special has mod points today. And I thought it was just the metamoderation that sucked.

    Sure it is... Just imagine somebody post a link to a very useful illustration or picture, and once it has been modded up to +5, change it into a cute fluffy white goat...

    Maybe they should allow editing your post, provided, either there was either no moderation or replies to your post. Or in the case that their was, you could only append to your post, and it was clearly marked that it was appended after the original post. It might be good to do this, even in the case of no moderation/reply.
