Self Heating Rocket Fuel

(1/4) > >>

TimO:
I've seen self heating cans before, but this is the first time I've seen one in my local Sainsburys, and unusually the Rocket Fuel branded, extra caffeinated stuff.


I've bought some, in the spirit of investigation.  I imagine it could be ideal for things like night rides, although on a FNRttC, it may be difficult to find the right time when I've got long enough to start it heating, and then drink it without burning myself!

Apparently they also do a Hot Chocolate version, but they didn't have that in my Sainsburys, which is a shame, since it would probably be more palatable than White Coffee (based on instance coffee and hot chocolate from machines).

Valiant:
Is it any good?

TimO:
I haven't tried it yet.  I may take one up with me to the start of the FNRttC tomorrow, so I've got something to drink whilst waiting for the off.

TimO:
I tried a can out at the start of the FNRttC on Friday (not surprisingly!), and it was a bit of a downfall.  It was slightly above tepid.  I drank it anyway, since caffeinated fluid is caffeinated fluid, and always good for a night ride, but wasn't that impressed.

I thought I may have insufficiently shook it, so tried the second can at home, with some very vigorous shaking, and it was slightly below tolerably warm.  I've had colder cups of coffee, but only ones that I made, and have then forgotten to drink for half an hour.

Not very successful at all.  Either both of mine were faulty, or the heating system is woefully underpowered.

Frankly, it didn't taste that good either.  Most cups of coffee I've had from machines have tasted better, and machine coffee is normally pretty rank stuff.

Not recommended. :(

Valiant:
Ah what a shame!
