In April 2004, we posted an article about Tempra Technology’s I.C. Cans, a can that can produce a chilled drink within three minutes which remains cold for up to 45 minutes.<br />
<br />
Finally, Tempra found a buyer in Miller Beer. According to several Internet news services including <a href="http://www.gizmodo.com/gadgets/gadgets/miller-beer-soon-in-selfcooling-cans-168882.php"><strong>Gizmodo</strong></a> and <a href="http://www.newtechspy.com/articles06/miller.html"><strong>New Spy Tech</strong></a> we can expect to see the Miller cans to show up on store shelves in mid-2007.<br />
<br />
The cans are regular 16 ounce size but only contain 10.5 ounces of liquid, as the rest of the space contains the cooling apparatus: a dessicant that when activated draws the heat from the beverage into a heat sink getting the frosty bev down to 30 degrees fahrenheit.<br />
<br />
Looks like Miller thinks we’ll give them the same slack we throw Guinness… a "16 ounce" can with 10.5 ounces indeed.
