"It took a California company

"It took a California company named OnTech seven years and $24 million to create the self-heating cans, which are activated by pushing a plastic button on the bottom."

This gave me a major mind blow. Like I am living in the future. Of course major drawbacks include an 8-minute wait time for things to heat up and, oh, a can that weighs over a pound.

Today I erased something with a giant pink eraser and it was completely exhilerating. The only erasers I use these days are on the end of mechanical pencils I grab out of my desk when all my pens are missing, and those erasers are always leaving greasy smudges that look worse than the offending pencil mark. The pink eraser just felt nice to hold, nostalgic-like, and it turns out they actually erase things cleanly. Where am I in life that I've forgotten the functionality of a simple eraser?
