Designed for the climate

During the summer season of Hong Kong, temperature can rise to around 38 degrees Celsius. Although there are air con everywhere you go in HK, but what if you are stranded in the streets, walking from A to B? Recently, drinks manufacturers like Lipton have invented drinks which could actually cool you down, not the sudden cold rush you get while drinking it, but drinks which you could feel during the whole progress, a chilling sensation from throat to your stomach, which lasts about 5 seconds. Although is might seem as a gimmick, but this stuff does actually work and definitely a much welcome product in a hot location like HK.

While flickering through a magazine, I found out an advert about a new type of Coca Cola which will turn 'Slush Puppy' when you open and shake it. The stock is extra limited and only available in a few selected places. Therefore I went to one of the shopping centres and try out this new product. To my amazement, this stuff works like magic. 'Open, Close and Shake' is the tag-line, and ice actually forms in the container, which makes it a longer 'Best Served Chill' effect, and also cools you down from the heat.

If HK has these special products to cope with the heat, then why can't UK introduce similar products in the Cold winter months, but work in the opposite way? Starbucks Coffee cans which turn hot when you open them? Let the imaginations run free.
