The magic cup!

I have been meaning to write about a great little invention that I have been utterly in love with for several months. In fact, when I originally sat down to create this blog, it was one of the initial topics I thought I would post. But, other things have popped up here and there and my list is growing... so I need to start crossing those older ideas off the list.

Here it is... the FooGo Thermos! So, I live in the desert, where up until 3 days ago the average temperature had been in the 90s (and the first 6 weeks we lived here, when the sun was up it was not BELOW 95). So, it's hot and we need to keep hydrated. Water and water bottles become close and fast friends out here.

Well, before we moved out here I heard about these FooGo things and read that they keep items cold for up to something like 12 hours. I have admit, I was skeptical but I knew LG would need something to keep him cool during this ridiculous summer heat (it is not really as bad because it is dry but hot is hot).

With 12 oz Foogo in hand, we headed to day care on the first full day. I brought the cup with me and forgot to bring it inside my office and LEFT IT IN THE CAR! Ok, so, it's early August, in the desert valley, although I am parked under a small tree there is still a pretty solid chance the car reached upwards of 120 deg., right?

Well, at 3PM I head to pick up LG. Water has been in car for approx. 6 hours. And, yes folks, it is STILL COLD!!!!!

So, I can personally attest to the fact that the Foogo is really quite wonderful! I highley recommend it and I am just really bummed they don't seem to make them in larger sizes. LG will drink two or three a day because it's only 12 oz.

Love the Foogo!
