Can Accessory


Sometimes its so ridiculous to buy a can of soda and have to drink it in a jiffy.. if u dont follow this process then the soda is so unpalatable if taken in small sips over a period of time. Some may argue that for a small price, 40 cents at walmart and 70 cents in univ vending machines, dont matter much. But i fail to agree to this argument of low price products must be consumed in a short span of time. I would agree to this argument if and only if the time frame is like a month or year. But come on u just dont drink it off in a minute or 5 minutes. The problem is that the chilled cola soda tastes better and is lot for refreshing than a un-fizz, warm or room temperature cola and another problem is that for the money paid, you dont get to finish off all the traces in the can. So i was thinking a way to solve this problem so that the soda's life time out of refrigeration is atleast a decent 2 to 5 hours. Just imagine you are in a marathon meeting and need to sip little quantities rather than leave the room twice or thrice.

Now look at my proposed small accessory, its a straw with a bent bottom to suck up all those tiny itsy bitsy droplets. The top has a lid to keep all the fizz back in the can, then a rubber stopper to clamp down at the can opening. This will atleast keep the fizz inside, now the option to keep the can losing out its cold temperature is to have a foamy insulated material that can form as a sort of a gripper and as an insulated material. If these accessories could be priced around a dollar .... straw and gripper, then i think it would sell well and also help slow-sippy soda enjoyer like me to get the quality for my money. Any takers around for this one? if so leave a comment.
