- Author A.J. Jacobs shows how the coffee cup lid was perfectly designed to give you a full sensory experience while drinking. This video was inspired by the original work of Louise Harpman and Scott Specht and their book "Coffee Lids: Peel, Pinch, Pucker, Puncture."
Small Thing Big Idea, a TED original series, celebrates the lasting genius of everyday objects so perfectly designed that they changed the world around them.

Coffee cup lid is just a sippy cup for adults
This guy is so enthusiastic about coffee cup lids, I love it.
Find someone who talks about you in the same way this guy talks about coffee lid.
The sound effects guy must be brought to justice!
What a wonderful little video! More of these please! Science and innovation FTW
Love this mini series!
Your content is really good especially when it comes to great public speakers that you use in your videos.
I love it how he is so passionate about this. :)
Practical content. Thank you.
And how many get thrown away each day, all in the name of convenience? I use the same travel mug every day.
I imagine that it has grown an entire flora of bacterias then...
@@User-jr7vf I do wash it with soap and warm water afterwards.
Imagine all the oils and chemicals on that coffee cup lid from it's time going through the factory from the machines.
Now also imagine every single one of those lids that just exited that factory will end up straight into a landfill, and again, in the name of convenience for someone to drink a single coffee in less than a few hours.
@@User-jr7vf
Yeah, far better to pollute the planet with single use plastic.
2:07 I'm....why the MLG air horns? Lol
Amazing and Inspirational
Vox did something about this already if I'm remembering correctly.
I'm pretty sure it was TED because there's a bunch of things about this video that are exactly like the previous one we're thinking of (i.e., exact words and phrases), so it's not just another video about the same thing on a different channel.
No, not Vox, ted did one with the same same guy
I mean vox might have made one on the same topic but I doubt they used the same phrases as are used in this video (and the others that ted posted)
I swear this is a reupload?
@@tirobo yea, but on a different channel. remember ted has many channels
Great video. 👍🏻
No one:
The coffee cup lid: *Evolutioning noises*
This is the first time I can recall actually smiling at a "no one" comment.
this is the second TED video about coffee cup lids
"... cools your coffee before it hits your lips.."
What a lie.
I almost always burn my lips drinking from these coffee lids.
A little bit
Thanks, now I need another coffee.
I love the new logo
This was posted before. I watched it quite a while ago
I don't even like coffee and I'm watching this.
The evaluation of the coffee cup! I love the voice
Mom: What do you want to be when you grow up?
Me: A coffee cup lid engineer.
Does anyone remember in the 60s and early 70s paper coffee cup lids that sat inside the cup with a tab to pull out and it was soaked w coffee. Everyone would shake them off before throwing them out. He left out taht stage
Can somebody explain what does these expressions mean, please? I really didn't understand it...
peripheral skirts
the "press-in dimples”
the “fragrance outlets”
the “slosh factor"
Coffee cup lovers. Like it
Why do I get a feeling of deja-view??
*deja-Vu
Anass MEZENE it was a pun
r/wooooosh
I think you are the one woooshed
@@guifrema3946 no, no, this is a good example of r/wooosh. Its been a lot of time since I have seen a really genuine one.
wow, i love how he talked about coffee cup lid. so enthusiastic
Nescafe entered the chat.
This was already posted?!
Is this a re upload? I swear I've seen it somewhere else?
Genius idea for us to lick that lid while sipping coffee, how hygienic! Great show, Ted. How's your flu?
Its like re-releasing skyrim, but with youtube videos
This man drinks a lot of coffee. His teeth gives him away
so cooll
Why is he talking like someone's forcing him to smile..
Bc TED team is telling him to do it
Is this a repost?
i love thinking deeply about small things like a coffee cup lid 🤣
Como anillo al dedo !!!
Feels like a Reupload
Coffee is SERIOUS business.
It’s was a great idea to solve the all problems that’s why there is no more revolution on coffee cup lid.
the video image is too poor, you need to fix it more
Character In the video It's great, I like it a lot $$
Do people really ever search this type of stuff up?
Because in every comment section there’s always someone saying I didn’t search this up. Just a random observation
Lol, it's because people randomly watch a TED talk and then forget that TED is connected to TED so they're going to get recommendations for it randomly for weeks to come.
I hardly ever look at video comments. And even less so do I take the time to comment. Lol but I am entertained and disappointed with all the haters. TED u can post this mf video 1000000000 more times and ima get just as excited cuz i fucking love sippin on my coffee where ever i go. Even if it is in a disposable cup cuz i dont have my own on me. Loved it!
Vaccum? How would there be vaccum if there's an opening right there?
if coffee pours out from the opening it's sealed from air. an increase in underpressure may result in bubbles forming which disturbes the coffee drinking experience. thus, a pressure equalizing hole.
A bit stretching it to call them engineers. Lol
Can the editor chill out on the sfx
I think I saw this before
Think of the turtle we choke
So this is what making people trash the earth even more. Thanks!
Damn, this dude knows what’s up about coffee cup lids! He must get ALL the chicks!!
What next? The rubber band evolution?
Vocês poderiam traduzir para pelo menos o espanhol? Fica melhor a compreensão 🇧🇷
O vídeo saiu hoje e é a comunidade que legenda os vídeos geralmente, então demora um pouco
still there is much improvement for the coffee cup lids to go.
❤☕
Evolution and design is different.
The one that cools your coffee is COOLLID...
Who's heard of or used Coollid lids?
They are the true cooling coffee lids, not the Solo traveler lid! And they are recyclable, coming with biodegradable soon. Yay!
Which lid spills the least when open? Back in the day before we all started to use travel mugs I found a trick with the supposedly primitive lid at 1:55. If you remove the lid and just push the peel back part into the cup instead, it allows you to drink without splashing coming out when moving. Even while driving it works well, but not prefectly. The traveler's lid could create quite a squirt in the same driving situation. I was surprised that an expert on coffee cups didn't know about this trick. Try it yourself people.
Tim Hortons finally changed their lids just 1-2 years ago.
Deja vu
Woah woah woah
I feel like he smiled all the time, I like his confidence showing his teeth
Yhe next step of the lid evolution will be completely recyclable lids made from recycled materials produced in an eco friendly manner that is CO2 emission neutral too
Tea cup
Most coffee cups are lined with a thin layer of plastic and can’t be recycled.
The lid is recyclable.
Let’s screw the lid and fix the cup or use a reusable.
The can go in the recycling or the compost in my city (Seattle)...but then, even the Starbucks straws here are compostable and the city collects that too.
Erica Gamet that’s great. Seattle is small compared cheers compared to the rest of the world. 👏 👏 we cant recycle our cups in Australia nor in most of the world which is a screaming shame.
hahah.... I always seem lid of coffee cup just a waste thing and remove it always............ So I understand whats the work of it.
Keren
Prefer mine in IV bags
Soon they’ll be required to be made from paper like straws.
Peter Pettigrew did a great job here
Make one not from plastic please
Nice
#vines2round
Still plastic, and are mostly unrecyclable. Even more interesting is the double pane vacuum sealed glass lids.
Use a keep cup ffs
Sustainable single use plastic object is an oxymore.

Why don't you just put a lid on it?
No act of kindness no matter how small is wasted. Would you love to be youtube friends
Why can they put this much work in to soda cup lids that way we don’t need those awful paper straws
I always remove cup lid. Love this
No reason. Cause im hot?

I swear to god i have seen this before..... WTF is going on ?!

Environmental nightmare.
Now if they could just stop making them out of plastic.
Whoever directed the camera should get fired.
His face already is centerframe.
You DO NOT need to show off your f/1.2 lens, or that crappy blur filter!
It makes his face come towards you, which is really distracting from the info he's sharing....
Really 😒
cup lid is a waste plastic.
Great invention,but exploding plastic trash.
WOW, if thats not a 1st world problem they solved, then what is?!
btw, dont really care, im a Tee person!
Meanwhile Tim Horton's has gone completely backwards with their new lid. Bloody awful it is!
Coffee is unhealthy
That’s the best you can come up with...coffee lids? The content needs some improvement.
Looks like this guy had too much coffee and it stained his teeth
That Virtual constat smile.
Isn't it annoying?
Who cares
This guy should not be on ted
It's not that smart or innovative if it's made of plastic and winds up in the ocean. Figure out a better material, then let's talk.
