Nu Idea (NU 12) by Rocky Gabatin - Instacool Drink

"InstaCool Drinks"

There is no better way to quench your thirst than a cool drink. And yet, this is quite a challenge for someone who is hiking or trekking. Ice cubes can be bulky to carry on coolers. Buying cold drinks on a remote area can be very expensive. A Coke-in-can can cost up to PhP 100.00 up on the mountains! Frugal people are reluctant to buy. As they say, "kung ayaw mo, inumin mo 'yang isangdaan mo."

But there can be a practical and lightweight solution to this. Instant cold packs (or ice packs) are used in first aid kits and by sports trainers for emergency cold compress. This is comprised by refrigerant gel and other compounds in containers--all inside a plastic pack. The cold pack is activated when the containers are crushed so the compounds can mix with the refrigerant gel--generating cold temperatures down to 14 degrees Celsius.

This can be incorporated on bottled drinks--where bottles are designed to contain the ingredients of a cold pack (in a separate layer, of course). When you are ready to quench your thirst, all you have to do is twist the entire bottle enough to activate the cold pack. In a few seconds or minutes, you are ready to enjoy your cold drink!  4  (meron na yata nito sa abroad)
