Japanese Technology
Many many years ago, my grandfather
brought a stainless steel cup from Japan. He gave it to my dad and
it is still in the house today. This is no ordinary mug. The mug is
constructed to act like a thermos of some sorts, except that it has
no sealed top that goes with it. It only has a plastic lid that is
set on top of the mug. The amazing thing is that it works better
than any sealed thermos that I know.
Here's an example. Last night at home, I filled the mug up with
some ice water. This was around 11:30pm. I drank it as I was on the
computer last night but did not finish it. I went to sleep around
2am and woke up this morning around 8am. The surprising thing is
that there was still ICE floating around in the cup! I didn't even
have the plastic lid on it. Now, I've been looking for another one
of these mugs for a while, but they are no where to be found. Maybe
I have to go to Japan for this.
