tired of your coffee getting cold at your desk? Did you forget to heat up the leftovers you grabbed from the fridge before meandering back to the computer to watch more porn on Redtube? then Heinz, makers of ketchup, may have the solution for you:
Heinz mini-microwave
the Beanzawave USB-powered mini-microwave. for home use, it’s completely idiotic, because everyone who lives in front of a computer and needs things microwaved A) already has a microwave and B) has probably figured out a way to get their microwave and internet access closer together when necessary (netbook and/or ipod touch, for me).
but the fact that it runs on USB power means you can plug it into a laptop, which is a great way to make a portable microwave, unless you actually need to use the laptop at some point. Microwaves tend to be big power-drains (if i run mine at the same time as my coffeepot and dishwasher, it trips the circuit breaker).
I don’t see this working as a grocery-store product to peddle alongside little microwave-safe containers of beans and chef boyardee, though. If they could just get Billy Mays to do an informercial and offer a USB Solar charger as an Order Now gift and then you’d have something worth buying.
or better yet, just stick some solar panels and a rechargeable battery ON the microwave itself. battery powered microwave. perfect for heating food during power-outages or in your car on long road trips.
