1. A self-cooling food product container apparatus, comprising:
a food product container with a food product container wall and a food product there in; a compartment forming sleeve member with a covering sleeve member side wall; a compartment forming sleeve member wall inward surface with at least one of deformable and breakable inward facing protuberances and deformable and breakable outward facing protuberances; said inward facing protuberances tangentially contacting said food product container wall to form a humidification liquid chamber with distinct compartments between said covering sleeve member side wall inward surface and said food product container wall; at least one pair of endothermically reacting chemical compounds that generates a humidification liquid by their reaction and each one of said pair of endothermically reacting chemical compounds being stored exclusively in separate said distinct compartments; at least one endothermically dissolving chemical compound that dissolves in said humidification liquid stored exclusively in at least one said distinct compartment;
a barrier structure surrounding said humidification liquid chamber separating said humidification liquid from the atmosphere;
and a humidification liquid release mechanism comprising said compartment forming sleeve member wall and said one of deformable and breakable inward facing protuberances and outward facing protuberances against said food product container wall to deform said inward facing protuberances and mix said reacting chemical compounds to react endothermically and cool said food product container wall and generate humidification liquid by their reactions and said at least one endothermically dissolving chemical compound for dissolving endothermically in said humidification liquid to further cool said food product container wall and thereby cool said product.
