I’ve just invented this new idea for a beverage. The basics behind it is that the temperature is at a refreshable level prior to opening the can and drinking.
The way this works is with an endothermic reaction (un-decided, but possibly with Aluminium Chloride and Water/Barium Hydroxide Octahydrate).
To make this work however, an extra ‘insulating’ layer is added to the can to be filled with one of the endothermic reactants (for this example, let’s say water) and the other reactant (aluminium chloride) attached onto the can in such a way, that when opened, the collide and react to form an endothermic reaction (drawing in heat AKA making it colder). This would cool the beverage considerably, making it much more refreshing in summer/hot climates.http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=5makvs&s…
(The Red is the Aluminium Chloride, the Blue is the Water, the Purple is the endothermic product. This basically just shows what I mean, with the cola securely kept away from mixing with any products, but receiving the ‘coldness’ of the endothermic reaction).
The wrapper covering the can would make sure there is no complications in picking up the can. The metal inside the can would also be sturdy to make sure there are no piercings that end up mixing the solutions.
The can will, most likely, either cost more than the average can of coke (due to the materials) OR will be less than 330ml (as more space is required for the reactants).
Now, for the design.
I could make this very pinpointed with one type of niche market (excluding thirsty people) – Fallout fans.
Imagine I have rights to the Nuka Cola name (although I don’t think it’s trademarked anyway), I would call the can ‘Ice Cold Nuka Cola’. Not only does it fit the name of the product perfectly (ice cold cola, what else?) but it also reaches out to gamers (which is a huge industry) as well as the usual markets
So basically, thoughts and opinions on this random brainstorm?

Would You Buy This Product?
Posted on June 4, 2013.
No. I’d just get a can which was being stored in the retailer’s fridge.
It would probably sell to a niche market – in very hot weather or in hot countries or at events where there may not be refrigerated mobile shops, such as at popular but isolated pilgrimage sites, some beaches, school sports days, perhaps some outdoor concerts. People pay for convenience, and being able to buy it there would be handier than dragging an Esky everywhere. It may also sell purely as a novelty item. The volume of sales wouldn’t compare with the handiness of a cold can from a regular shop fridge, though.
If were to inadvertently disclose sufficient details in public to enable someone to copy your invention, you would have effectively robbed yourself of ANY POSSIBILITY of obtaining a patent for your invention.
YES, YES, yes, I would definitely buy this product, that endothermic reaction is completely logical and I cant wait to taste your nuka cola with its ice cold taste, only problem is that in this country we only get two months of hot weather so I would certainly buy one of your cola’s during that time. when do you start production and where can i buy it?
