Haha! Got to watch those American posters. When I travel, I take a small, outdoor thermometer with F & C both so I can see the air temps without converting C to F.
Individually packed munchers? An idea that would help others, as they do start turning as soon as you open them. I used to throw the used ones away on a trip, putting in a new one as needed, but even the never used ones would turn pink by the time I got home, it seems. Now of course I just put them back in the zip lock. Looks like that small amount is going to last me forever, and I still have a quart of it in the package, also inside a large zip lock.Degrees F. Not trying to melt the silica, just remove the moisture!
I believe they come 10 to a pack, originally, but since we are re-using them one or two at a time, (depending on the case you are using) it is no hassle to re pack them as I need.
I don't think Sealife suggests us re-using them anyway though, so they might like your individual pack idea.
They are currently useless. Must have been exposed to air, not in the plastic package. You can rejuvenate them with the methods discussed on this thread. Before this thread, I always replaced them, but at $1/each - I like rejuvenating.
I think for that to work, there needs to be at least a liter of air involved, and the starting humidity will affect possibilities of success. I kinda doubt it will work as well as a large oven, but if you can't find Damp Rid and the oven or microwave tricks are not available - worth a try.
