TORONTO, ONTARIO (Mar.-10-11) –
The leading worldwide manufacturer of insulated food and beverage containers, Thermos®, has conducted a survey examining some of the benefits to consuming a hot beverage and its impact on the work day. According to the survey, conducted by Confirmit, a hot beverage in the morning not only contributes to a more pleasurable commute to work (47% of respondents), but may also increase work productivity (24%).
As highlighted in the Hot Matters survey:
- Coffee is the most popular hot drink consumed using a travel mug, said 71% of respondents
- 43% of respondents indicated that a hot beverage “puts me in a better mood at work”
- 38% of respondents must have a hot beverage every morning to get through their commutes
- Almost 10% of respondents turn around if they forget their hot beverage at home during their commute
The Hot Matters survey also showed that more than 40% of participants experience a commute lasting more than thirty minutes. For commutes such as these, Thermos® Brand insulated bottles feature a vacuum insulated technology that keep beverages hot for up to five hours and cold for up to nine. Using a Thermos® brand bottle is a great way to keep commuters warm and happy on the go and makes for an economical and efficient transition to the start of a work day.
“A morning or mid-day pick-me-up is a great way to keep you going,” said Barbara Bluteau-Zetchus, Director of Marketing at Canadian Thermos Products Inc. “Our line of vacuum insulated bottles is a sleek way to prevent spills at the office or on the go while staying warm in the winter.”
The Hot Matters study group incorporated 196 Canadians.
