I had to pass this along...

"We're always keen on technology that improves our beer consumption experience, whether it be coasters and pitchers that signal for help when you need a refill, or mugs that let you share a drink with distant friends. Obviously, then, we were understandably excited to learn that Miller will be the first domestic brewer to utilize Tempra's self-cooling cans for dropping your drink's temperature a minimum of 30º F on command. Self-cooling, and self-heating, technology have been around for awhile, but save for the homemade Peltier Beer personal beverage cooler, this is the first method we've seen to cool down your suds long after the ice in your cooler has melted. Tempra's I.C. Can works by drawing heat out of the beverage with a natural desiccant (drying agent), through a water gel coated evaporator, and into an insulated heat-sink container, once an internal vacuum-seal has been broken. Miller's self-cooled offerings should begin showing up in finer distributors nationwide starting sometime next year, and as you can probably imagine, a sixer of these high-tech brews isn't going to come cheap."

One can only hope that other brands will pick this up. Even Coke would be nice for that drive home. Throw a warm six pack in the back seat and you have cold drink when traffic gets too bad.

Diet Coke :D for me.

Barq's Root Beer mmmmmm good

That reminds me, when I was a little guy the candy store next to the elementry school had bottled Barq's in the one of the 40's style refrigerated vending machines. The vending machine was set too cold and the bottles of soda pop would develop a small layer of ice across the top of the soda. Ice cold Nehi Grape or Orange Soda and Barq's Root Beer on a hot summer's day. What a nice memory.

I hope the cold packs can chill down my Diet Coke to that ice cold stage.
