Sometimes I feel like I have the attention span of a gnat. I’ll be watching TV, get up and make a cup of tea, only to wander back into the kitchen hours later and see the cup of tea on the counter. There’s nothing worse than coming back to a once steaming hot beverage and realizing that it’s ice cold. Well, maybe there are some things that are worse, but this is pretty high up there. I know I could always pop that baby back in the microwave, but that’s not the point. I mean, who knows what else was going on in my kitchen in my absence? Do I really want to take the chance that my tea could have been compromised? I think not, my friends.

I have consulted with that powers-that-be, and the result is the Put A Lid On It (Perpetual Kid, $5.99). In an effort to prevent your hot beverages from experiencing hypothermia, this silicone topper fits over the tops of cups, jars, and even cans to seal in the heat. So not only will your beverage stay molten lava hot (just the way you like it), but it’ll also help prevent spills. And we all know that that’s a feature after my own heart right there. If for some reason you don’t care about preserving hot molecules, then maybe you’ll be interested to know that this lid can also confine odors and keep contents fresh. That’s right, this guy is all about multitasking.

Yeah, I know what you guys are gonna say. You’re gonna go on and on about how this is basically Tupperware and how you already have a ton of it. That may be all well and good, but you know what? You’re never gonna stop buying Tupperware. It doesn’t matter how much you already have because you’re always gonna need/want more. You might as well buy a case of these babies.

4 out of 5 stars.
