What do you think of these thermal indicators?

In the local independant wholesaler and saw these for sale.
Knew they existed but never given it much thought.
Does anybody on here use them? If so what do you think

Thanks @Gavin John Hyde

£0.34+VAT each... they've got to be kidding, no wonder they aren't selling that many. It's hardly new technology, just a new application.

Crazy pricing.

Worst thing is of course, is if you only use them on big cables, they are even more expensive per clip and you're going to end up with a bag full of the small ones.

Nice idea, but I won't be buying them at that price.

Was interested in the details so googled it. They (sellers of the Biothermal shirts) made 50 million dollars in months but didn't slow the market to control it. Oh and the shirts went a murky brown after a couple of washes as it was only a second dye with a chemical and saline to sense the temperature change.
Someone else came out with the idea again in 2008 but people were over it by then.
Moles - now that's going back a few years!

Friend of mine works for the guy that imported them in to the UK in the day (Global Hypercolor) as well as being the distributer for Vans trainers, made a shed load of money worth about £75M now.
