Talk:Self-heating can

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Do people push the button and leave? -- Toytoy 22:58, May 11, 2005 (UTC)

At a glimpse, I read it as "self-hating can". Then this reminded me of how this may be an antizionist plot by some crazy people to make people like me think up of a sick combination like "self-heating Jew" --84.249.253.201 01:00, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Self-heating ramen? How should that work? You can't keep the ramen in broth for several months. --91.15.119.247 19:43, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Self-heating ramen cans

I reverted the deletion of self-heating ramen cans, but someone actually living in Japan must have seen these?? They are mentioned on so many blogs but I can't seem to find them for sale anywhere (admitted I've been searching in English though). BeamerNZ (talk) 18:47, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

This is not the way an encyclopedia works. You need to provide reliable sources in the first place, not just write some random buzz and wait for others to substantiate or refute it. Obviously you've just "heard" about these self-heating ramen cans, and the same can be said for the bulk of the bloggers. Others might have read about it on Wikipedia -- go figure!
Notice how none of these bloggers is based in Japan? Notice how there's no mentioning on any of the Japan gadget sites, or Japan news sources? Notice how there's no picture or video of that notorious ramen can? --91.15.113.242 (talk) 10:26, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

There's even a vague, one-phrase reference in a NYT article [1] but that's just a short, single phrase in an article not at all concerned with ramen. I seriously doubt the author has put much effort in verifying her assertion.--91.15.113.242 (talk) 10:47, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your understanding. --91.15.113.242 (talk) 19:59, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ontech cans

Still looks like the same design as the recalled cans last year. Have Ontech made improvements to the manufacuring quality since the recall? BeamerNZ (talk) 05:41, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Environmental impact

I would like to know if any reliable sources have looked at how the packaging and materials used to heat the food end up being disposed of. I purchased a self-heating can of coffee to see for myself and was not impressed. I can't imagine any conscientious consumer using these for anything less than an emergency.
