No,
it's not just to cool yourself. Our friends over at Engadget recently posted about the
new Instant Cool Can from Tempra, a can with a built in cooling system that
can drop the temperature of a beverage by 30º F in only a few minutes. The obvious application is beer, and
according to Engadget, Miller will be the first to use the cans. The base of the can contains a drying agent that, when
activated, causes a gel in the base to draw heat from the can into a heat sink. There's a lot is going on in the bottom
half of this can, which explains why it looks like a 16 ounce can but only holds about 10.5 ounces. Obviously these
cans will be more expensive, and for only 10.5 ounces of beer, it seems like smaller "pony" bottles are still
the way to go if you want your cold one to stay that way until the end. Besides, I don't think anyone really cares what
temperature "the champagne of beers" is served at anyway.Self-cooling beer cans
