1. An item comprising:
a metal crimp secured to the item and coupled with a sensor adapted to sense a temperature of a content inside the item and determine a value of the temperature; and
an electrochromic strip coupled with the sensor and adapted to display an indication of the temperature value in response to the value of the temperature sensed by the sensor;
wherein the item further comprises a processor communicably coupled with the sensor, wherein the sensor is adapted to transmit the temperature value to the processor; and
wherein the processor further validates the temperature value by comparing the temperature value with a pre-defined temperature range.
