<\/center><\/p>\nYesterday, the Lokipie and I were grabbing some groceries when we came across the Wolfgang Puck Lattes in the Self-Heating Can. We almost picked up a four pack, but there was no price on them and when we discovered that they were $2.50 EACH, we decided that curiousity could part us from $5, but not $10. It’s a good thing too. <\/p>\n
How these work – you turn the can upside down and open the bottom. Then you press the plastic button down, releasing the liquid into the other chemicals in the outer can. This causes a reaction (much like the heat pack in an MRE) which heats the beverage. You then turn it upright and wait 6 or so minutes for the “hot spot” to tell you that it’s warm. Then open the top and drink.<\/p>\n
Notice I did not say enjoy. I guess that one should not have overly high hopes for a coffee beverage in a can. I tried the caramel and Loki tried the vanilla and we both agreed that they were crap. In my opinion, it tasted much like a watered down bottled frappucino, or like creamora mixed with water and a hint of coffee extract. Where was the caramel flavoring in this? <\/p>\n
Overall, I’d say that you were paying for the novelty of the self heating can and the “Wolfgang Puck” name. One would think that I would eventually learn that just because a celebrity chef puts his name on a product does not necessarily mean that it is worthy. If the man served me this product in his restaurant, I’d probably call him a punkassbitch. <\/p>\n
My final judgement – get off your butt and walk\/drive to the starshmucks, you’ll get much better coffee and pay about the same price. Better yet, go to the local non-chain flurfy coffee shop. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
