Cooling Beer Cans & Pumping Gas

Need a cold beer? Dangerous Dave talks about a start up make self cooling beer cans that could be hitting stores in the near future. Plus, are we pumping gas wrong? We look at what someone on TikTok says versus the experts.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
He's deeper in the den with dangerous day. This is
important kind of science we're going to need to know.
Self shilling beer cans have finally arrived. So start up
in the UK called Delta H Innovations. They've been working
on something called a cool can. Looks like an ordinary
can till you check the bottom. There's a power button
that activates the beer cooling technology. It also works on

(00:22):
soda or any liquid. The inner wall is insulated mug.
You push the button, it blends the water with a
mix of salts, causing a cooling reaction. Outside of the
can gets freezing cold within a few seconds. The disappointing
part still takes a little while to child the beer,
depending on how hot it is, could take up to
ten minutes to get cold. Eventually gets down to about
forty three degrees. They say the best part of the

(00:43):
cooling reaction it continues every time you take a sip,
so it'll stay cold for up to forty five minutes.
Holds about seventy percent of what a normal can would,
so twelve ounces has to be the size of a
sixteen ouncer, so tall boy er pounder. It's meant for
situations where you might want a cold drink but not
have a way to chill it. Take a twelve back
out camping, not bring a cooler. I say the cans

(01:05):
can still be recycled. You shouldn't raise the price too much, though,
calling it additional cost marginal. Not clear how soon you
might see the self cooling cans of beer in stores.
You're already in talks with major beer makers Coca Cola
and the people at Red Bull self cooling beer cans.
All right, I'm in deeper in the You know what
to pump gas? Well? You thought so. Some guy on

(01:27):
TikTok went viral listing four ways you might be pumping
gas wrong. But it's TikTok, so is it really true?
The fact that this is wrong? So filling up in
the morning or night, first of all, is what the
guy says. He said, gas expands when it's warm, get
a little more for your money when it's cold out.
You won't save enough to retire on. But it won't
hurt well in theory, yes, but don't worry about it.
Consumer reports tested this out said it only saves a

(01:50):
few cents gas station fuel stored underground where temperatures don't
fluctuate musks, so it's not a huge difference. Put the
nozzle clip on the lowest setting. He says, it's worth
the weight is. Faster you pump, the more turns the vapor.
The gas pumps vapor return line suck it back in.
It doesn't end up in your tank. Again. Maybe, but
the experts say it's we're just talking pennies here, that

(02:10):
it makes a difference if you have a lot of time,
do it. But if your time is worth more, just
pump your gas and get on with your life. Don't
wait until your tank is empty. They claim that gas
evaporates faster when there's more air in there, and again
it is true, but it doesn't make a huge difference
of any The experts say the real reason to follow
that advice is gas tanks have sediment in the bottom.
When your gas tank is low, more chance for that

(02:32):
sediment to get up into your filters and clog things up. Better.
It'd always ride with about a half a tank of gas.
And also they say, don't gas up when the tanker
truck is there. Again, not a big deal. Underground tanks
have sediment too, get stirred up when they're filled. It
could mean more gunk in your system. But your car
again has a fuel filter. Gas stations have filters too.
If you want to be extra careful, hit a different station.

(02:52):
But the experts say, yeah, probably not going to make
a lot of difference. And if you really want to
save money on gas, here's my tip, make your friends
for once in a while. Tune in again for another
episode of Deeper in the Den with Dangerous Daved right here.
