    I had some stock in a company called Chill Can Corp circa 1965. It had a patent on a self-cooling drink can looking much like the one in TFA...it went nowhere.

    A cardboard forerunner of the urinal game, called Whizzers, was marketed in the 70s.

    This might be good to potty train kids but I don't see its function in a rest stop.

    Knowing my kids, this would hardly be used to improve hygene. When they run out of proper game tokens, they will move on to other things to continue the game such as fingers. Somehow having the kids play games with the touch screen in a urnal does not seem like a way to improve hygene.
