We agree with WSJ's Sky Canave's observation about the sad lack of food options on the Olympic Green. McDonald's, being an official Olympic sponsor, was the only restaurant on the Green (sad, isn't it?) and if you didn't want to bring yourself so low as to step into a fast food restaurant like we did, the only other options really were instant noodles (mmMMmm yummy!) and this exploding lunch box that you see here, available for RMB20 and in a range of flavours. The idea behind the self-heating box is really very simple and akin to those pocket warmers that people use in winter. You just have to be very, very careful when it goes off because we heard quite a few people got scalded that way. Anyone seen this around anywhere in Shanghai?

It doesn't explode! Why doesn't it explode??!
While I still prefer Rafiqi's halal food in front of my office on Park Ave for about the same price, this is pretty nifty!!!!
Stupidly thought out article with a video showing a lunchbox that doesn't explode at all and quite delicious to the contrary. What a bad use of blog space and bandwidth. Thanks for wasting my time reading this *ist.
boogerg: You obviously have too much time on your hands to be commenting as frequently as you do on a blog that you hate so much.
Kenneth: some people love to hate :)
Shanghaiist seems to be attempting to take up social issues on all angles however it can, in this case, the sad circumstance that big fast food corporation is able to monopolize the food options on the Olympic Green. A worthy cause for sure, but please don't dilute the message with such a poor presentation. Exploding? Hardly.. Delicious? It certainly seems so.
