ABSTRACT:
The present invention10discloses a disposable beverage stirrer for coffee, tea, soups and the like12comprising a flat elongate wooden or composite stick14having thermoplastic material imbedded therein for detecting the temperature of a beverage12so that the user16can be made aware whether or not the beverage or substance in question is suitable to consume without causing the burning or scalding of an individual's mouth. The thermoreactive material is not readily visible when at room temperature because it is inactive. However, it reacts to and is activated by the temperature of the beverage12when inserted therein. Two messages22, 24are imbedded thereon, one to notify that the beverage12is safe to drink and another informing the user16that a high risk of scalding exists. Multiple embodiments of the present invention10are disclosed.
