4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty cool toy, September 14, 2007

So, it's not dishwasher safe. It definitely works, and it gets the point across. The geography isn't perfect, e.g. a lot of island nations are already gone. But, when it gets hot, you can still see a faint outline of where the land was - which is good. Only drawback is you have to fill the cup to the top to get everything to change. (Basically, it's dark green paint that loses its pigment when it warms up.) And, you can tell where the heat-sensitive paint is, and where the "non-submergable" land is. But, it's still a cool toy. Note, it's showing a 100m sea level rise, which is an extremely severe scenario.

This makes a fun little gift- but it's NOT dishwasher safe. Watch parts of the world disappear with your morning coffee. A little depressing but still a fun party trick...
