Color Changing Smart Lid System Says When Drink Is Too Hot

[JohnnyWalkerBlackLabel]

Color Changing Smart Lid System is a lid. For your coffee. Or other hot beverage. It apparently changes color from a dangerous shade of red to a more normal looking brown color as the coffee cools. One of the more important features of this product is the fact that it can also be used as a sealing indicator; it shows whether or not the lid is securely attached properly to the cup. I have, on occasion, grabbed a cup and had it explode over both myself and the barista.

Hmm, funny, I thought the cups already had a warning system on them......the word "COFFEE"

Seriously, please just call them servers
There's no need to fall into their "create a fancy name for my job position so I'm not constantly reminded that I serve coffee for a living" trap.
