Coca Cola readying self-chilling soft drinks?

And you thought non-stick chewing gum was the heat. Turns out, Coca Cola may be plotting a new version of Sprite that actually chills itself upon opening. Apparently, the drink has to be kept at a specified temperature before being snapped up, and once the oh-so-thirsty consumer pops the top, “a mechanism inside creates ice made from the drink, so it is not diluted.” Reportedly, the beverage would sensibly be called Sprite Super Chilled, and if it does indeed hit the UK (and prove successful) by “early next year,” the technology could then be passed along to Coke, Diet Coke or even “super cold alcoholic drinks, particularly beers.”
