I gotta say, im with Pris on this one. 
I one caught a a fish near a thermal, and since we always love to do sushi on the spot when were fishing (for freshness) that device would have been nice.  instead we had to wait for the tube worm meat to cool down.
ps: and yes, even a hot salad, in my opinion should be eaten cool




What do you mean? You caught a fish that was naturally swimming in a thermal pool or something? How hot was the fish's temperature? I'm so confused. I didn't even know fish could thrive naturally in temperatures that hot.

No, but it's like with hot sauce. If you keep exposing yourself to hotter and hotter foods gradually and slowly, over time you will eventually develop resistance to heat.

With soups that are boiling and what not, you simply blow on the spoon first. There is a technique to eating hot foods, you have to sip the spoon instead of putting the whole spoon in your mouth, you should also breathe in air at the same time you slurp because that helps to cool it down... but cooked foods just taste better when they're hot.

Yup, I've discovered that too. A lot of shit I see on those types of websites are products that were already made in the 80's or 90's.

Just proves that all you need is good marketing to sell something.

I'm watching an episode of Shark Tank right now, these 2 douchebags on this show made $250K a year by selling written messages on potatoes, and the kicker is they are selling each potato for $14.99 WTF!!!! :facepalm:

And it's not even a professionally printed message on the potato, your message is fucking written with a Sharpie. On a potato that probably was purchased for less than 99 cents.

The part that made me want to cry the most was when they actually landed a deal with a shark.

Near boiling? What species of fish live in those kind of waters? I have a hard time believing those fish don't cook while they are essentially swimming around in a sous vide...

FYI, that's a parody site, to make fun of the iPhone 7.

But it is something Apple would probably make and charge 49.99 for.

It would never occur to me to eat a fish caught around one of those areas, especially raw. I'd imagine whatever parasites are living inside of them have probably adapted to extreme heat conditions and are probably very difficult to kill.

Okay that has to be a sex toy, right? What is the purpose of that, according to their marketing?

They'd also be unlikely to affect you though, I'd think. Maybe wrong though.

Mmmm, that might be true. I honestly wasn't even aware you could eat fish that exist in those kind of areas.

I mean, they say like 70 percent of tropical fish are poisonous to humans. So I would just worry about blindly eating any fish in abnormal waters I suppose.

Tooootally thought something else. Was confused and disappointed.




but, if you're thinking along those lines (and I hope you are) that would be fun and sexy. Therefor, not useless.

Yeah I thought many thermals were rich in toxic levels of minerals and dissolved gasses.
