cool inventions

[jgould]

Time mag had a recent issue of cool inventions. 1 of many was a label using thermosensitive ink that lets you know when the contents of the bottle are suitably chilled via "grantusa.com". this "sounds" like a great idea. any comments?

Zywiecz, a Czech or Polish beer has that sort of thing on the label. The unfortunate thing is you usually want 2 at different temperatures. So, you could use it like Green and Blue is drinking temperature. Red and Blue is too hot, and Green and Purple is too cold.

I've had several literally frozen Zywieczes.

Edit to fix spelling.

Well, I wasn't speaking of this morning.... It's Boulevard Wheat for breakfast today.

But, I like the idea of thermosensitive ink. However, I think it is important, especially for wines, where different types are best consumed in different temperature ranges, to have appropriate ranges with the ink instead of just "yes, it's warmer/colder than X" have the ability to know "it's between X and Y"
