Self-Icing Coke?
New technology may one day keep your Coke product ice-cold without ever needing time in your refrigerator.
The Coca-Cola Company has managed to create a mechanism inside the bottle that will create ice from the drink itself from the moment the cap comes off. It will be tested on Sprite first, and the new drink will hit shelves in the UK next year as “Sprite Super Chilled.”
I love my Coke products, but I’m not all that sure about this idea. I think I’d rather have Coke chilled the old-fashioned way rather than by some gadget inside the bottle. I’d be a little leery about how clean the “mechanism” is, and in this year of the recall, how safe it is.
Not to mention whether or not the price would go up (and the quanity in the same-sized bottle would go down) to accommodate Coke’s ability to “chill out.”

There was a show on History channel about ‘the can’ and they showed that, I can’t remember the name of the canning company but they make a gazillion cans (totally exaggerating but it was alot). There is also a soup can that heats itself.
I did find a link to a manufacturer (if not the manufacturer of Coke’s van) that says it’s safe (no toxins, no pressure, no gas). I think it’d be neat to see anyway.
