However, tonight, I found that whole display in the back of the store, half price at $1.00 per container, so curiosity has gotten the better of me, hehe. At the checkout, the security guard dude behind me they were really good. On the way I got to thinking, these would be really awesome for camping!
So here's the deal, you turn it upside down and pull off a foil that hides the "button" to activate it. You press the button down really hard, and this green liquid (they call it "water") drains down into the container. You turn it right side up after 10 seconds and watch the pink dot on the back side until it turns white and then it's hot and ready to drink! It's not scorchingly hot that you can't drink it, but it's much more than lukewarm! Has a slightly different chocolate taste to it, but it's pretty good :) (Update: duh, I bought the ones with the marshmallows, the "slightly different" taste is the marshmallows, lol) Also comes in several different soup flavors, but I didn't see those...

Also makes a very nice hand warmer, but because of the weight of the special stuff, it's hard to tell when it's empty, lol. I've got to get more of these before they quit selling them, I need them for camping, hehehehe.

You missed out on my and Lishy's rant about how totally cool these things are??? I just wish they tasted a bit better! The hot chocolate is much lacking in flavor, but the chicken soup was actually really nummy.
yup, I must have missed it, or if I heard it, I didn't know what you were talking about yet...
