It's because she's thinking "I put sashimi in this lunchbox. Why the hell would I want it hot?"

How fast does it do this? Sounds like an invitation to food poisoning unless it does this pretty quickly.

USB fed devices are like little vampires sucking laptop battery. I got an USB power adapter, it's better. The bag sounds interesting, but like Nessie asked, how fast does it heat up the food?

I like the idea of it, but as some things need to be answered. I agree with the issue stated above, how fast does it heat up? Does it come with a normal AC plug because I could imagine this thing takes a lot of power and I like the concept by itself. Not having to have a computer to heat it up would be nice.

USB to warm food? That's ITSA (IT-Stone Age). Their site also shows a heated USB mouse - and that's going on my wish list :-)
