I had a most interesting and consumerly wasteful beverage this morning: a self-heating double shot latte. It comes in an insulated can that you turn over and pull off a "tamper-proof bottom to reveal a plastic button. Pushing that button releases some green-colored water into an outer chamber where it mixes with quicklime. This concoction then creates heat. After about 5 minutes a pink dot on the can turns white, indicating that the contents are hot. Twist a plastic lid to line up with the top's pull tab, pull and drink. After finishing all of the drink, the can was still as heavy as it was before I consumed it. All this for only $2.99!
I am pleased to have added (before breakfast even!) my daily recommended amount of trash to our country's landfills.

what did it taste like?
run out of turkish brew already? more snow?
Tasted okay, but did have an odd odor. Isn't quicklime related to the lime tossed into the trough under outhouses?!?
