Innovative drink idea
puts the fizz back into
those family days out
The Can Seal in action
We’ve all been there – the kids are enjoying
a can of their favourite pop, their
attention is suddenly elsewhere, a careless
hand comes out and... well, you get
the picture.
At best, it means tears – at worst, it
may mean calling out a professional carpet
cleaner.
Or maybe you enjoy the odd slurp of
Coke, but find you don’t want to drink a
whole can. Unfortunately, it’s open and if
you don’t consume it quickly, it goes flat
– and there’s nothing work than flat fizzy
drinks!
Now, Kent-based MacDonald Fyne Associates
have come up with the Can Seal,
which claims to address both of these
problems. And because it’s brandable,
users take your client’s message wherever
the Can Seal goes. It comes in four
colourway options – blue with red nozzle,
blue with white nozzle, white with red
nozzle and white with blue nozzle.
The company says that the Can
Seal keeps drinks fresh even after a
week and is ideal for use with drinking
straws – an important consideration,
as most dentists these days
recommend that we consume
carbonated drinks through a
straw to prevent tooth decay,
particularly in children.
The product is made from
food grade polypropylene and
is dishwasher-safe.
So whether it’s keeping
the drink in or the bugs out,
it seems this particular product
has it in the can! For more, visit

Small wonder that chargers may
be popular with frequent travellers
Switzerland-based WorldConnect
AG has launched what it
says is possibly’s the world’s
smallest mobile charger.
Frequent drivers and travellers
will be familiar with the problem
– the mobile devices we
take for granted every day, such
as mobile phones, digital cameras,
MP3 players, GPS units
and PDAs each need their own
power adapter.
That means a lot of dead
weight to carry around with
you. It is also easy to lose one
of these chargers in the hotel or
elsewhere.
WorldConnect says the Swiss
Travel Products Micro Mobile
Charger is a universal solution
for supplying power to the
most diverse array of portable
electronic devices – so you can
leave your collection of chargers
at home.
The basic charger is equipped
with a Nokia connector. This charger
is compatible with almost
all common mobile phones,
GPS devices, digital cameras
with mini-USB connectors, etc.
through the use of plug adapters
that can be purchased separately.
The adapters feature innovative
technology and ensure easy
charging. They can be changed
easily depending on the model.
Just plug it into the power point
and you are charging.
The charger is compact and
weighs a mere 38 grams, while
its flat shape allows it to be
stashed in nearly any bag. It also
features a self-retracting charger
90cm cable to keep things tidy.
If all you need is a handy
phone charger to have for emergencies
in your car, then the
Phone Car Charger from the
same company could be what
you’re looking for.
It too has a retractable cable
to keep your glove box tidy.
