Jun 5 2007Smart Lid
The Smart Lid is a color changing coffee lid designed to prevent idiots from burning themselves by getting more and more red depending on how hot the coffee is. If they cost about the same as regular coffee lids then sure, get them. Otherwise let's stick with regular coffee lids and let natural selection work things out.

Wouldn't the coffee have to touch the lid in order to get a temperature reading to begin with? If so, that kind of defeats the purpose.

It works of the heat from the steam the coffee emits.. .idiot.

I would think if you ordered HOT coffee, that would be warning enough.

Roffle. The coffee lid looks like my little sisters sippy cup. Color changing and all. I suppose what they say is true, the older you get, the more you revert to childhood.

You have a sister?
Is she cute?
What's her number?
7. RandomNigel - June 5, 2007 3:40 PM
Yes
Yes
She's a year and a half. She's not old enough for a number.

Larry was in trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary.
His wife was really angry.
She told him "Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the driveway that
goes from 0 to 200 in less then 6 seconds? AND IT BETTER BE THERE!!"
The next morning Larry got up early and left for work.
When his wife woke up, she looked out the window and sure enough there was a
box gift - wrapped in the middle of the driveway.
Confused, the wife put on her robe and ran out to the driveway, brought the
box back in the house.
She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale.
Larry has been missing since Friday.

I THINK THAT WINNIE MADIKIZELA-MANDELA, THE FORMER WIFE OF ANTI-APARTHEID HERO NELSON MANDELA, COULD HAVE USED A COFFEE CUP LID THAT TURNED REDDER THE HOTTER THE COFFEE WAS. THEN PERHAPS SHE MIGHT HAVE BECOME THE ONLY KING OF NOVA SCOTIA SO THAT EVERYONE COULD HAVE THOUGHT LONG AND HARD ABOUT WHY THEY CHOSE HER TO BE KING AND NOT SOMEONE ELSE.
THAT COFFEE CUP LID IS BAD LUCK AND SHOULD BE GIVEN TO THE PROPER AUTHORITIES FOR DISPOSAL. THIS IS NOT A REVOLUTION BUT RATHER AN INSANITARY PLEA FOR HELP.
BELIEVE IT!

Personally, I prefer natural selection.

McDonald's franchises which've been repeatedly warned by the corporation that their respective coffee's hot enough to cause third-degree burns to humans should be required to buy and use these things.

Great....now all I need is a lid that tells me how much of my Slurpee I can drink before I will get brain freeze.
