Pete’s new food flask kept his soup too hot to eat all day.
He complained that it worked far too well.
His wife suggested packing something cold instead.
At lunchtime the next day, Pete called her from work and asked what she’d put in it….
Pete wanted a hot lunch without using the office microwave.
His wife, Anna, bought him an insulated food flask.
On Monday, she filled it with soup.
At noon, it was too hot.
At one, Pete blew on a spoonful. At two, he gave up and bought a sandwich.
When he came home, the soup was still warm.
Excellent flask, Anna said.
Terrible lunch, Pete replied. I spent all day waiting for it to become edible.
Anna said the flask could keep cold food cold too.
On Tuesday morning, she packed his lunch while he found his keys.
At noon, he opened the flask and telephoned.
What’s in here?
Ice cream.
For lunch?
You said you wanted something you could eat straight away.
Pete took a spoonful. It was perfect.
His manager passed and looked into the flask.
Is that a proper lunch?
Pete thought about yesterday’s soup and today’s ice cream.
It’s the same system. I’m just working from the other end.
