Carbonize some marshmallows and sell them as "Microwave Campfire Marshmallows." It's a surefire million dollar idea, assuming you figure out the marshmallows-explode-in-the-microwave part. But, you could probably just market your way around that: "Poppin' Fresh Microwave Campire Marshmallows (Caution: Be sure microwave door is securely closed.)" And while I'm not on the subject: Towards the bottom of the Dunkin' Donuts coffee cup, on the outside, it says "Caution: Contents extremely hot." I understand that lawyers made the company put that there, but why are coffee places serving us coffee that's extremely hot? And am I now responsible for reading the fine print on a coffee cup before drinking? Breaking the seal on the lid of this coffee cup constitutes agreeing to the EULA..." Have I mentioned I'm in a whiny, crappy mood because I'm sick as a dog (a cold) and am about to fly to Phoenix and back? Poppin' fresh eardrums, away! [Technorati tag: eula] Posted

If my memory of what I've read about the infamous McDonald's lawsuit is correct, coffee that's held at an insanely high temperature takes longer to go bad. (Where "bad" is defined as whatever icky flavor coffee takes on after it's been sitting in the pot on the heater all day.)

I swear by earplanes for flying. I use 'em all the time since my ears are sensitive but I imagine they'd be helpful for someone who's just congested. Flents also makes something similar and equally effective.
