## Abstract

The invention relates to a packaging 1 having a plurality of material-tight separated chambers 2, 3, wherein the chambers 2, 3 contain different substances, and having at least one predetermined breaking point 4 that is formed between two adjacent chambers 2, 3 such that a break in the predetermined breaking point 4 enables a material exchange of the substances of chambers 2, 3 adjacent to the predetermined breaking point 4, wherein the packaging 1 further has a thermocouple 6 capable of being activated that causes an energy flow from or into at least one of the chambers in an activated state.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A packaging having a plurality of material-tight separated chambers, wherein the chambers contain different substances, and having at least one predetermined breaking point that is formed between two adjacent chambers such that a break in the predetermined breaking point enables a material exchange of the substances of chambers adjacent to the predetermined breaking point,
characterized in that
the packaging further has a thermocouple capable of being activated that causes an energy flow from or into at least one of the chambers in an activated state, wherein the chambers of the packaging are formed of a continuous film.

### Claim 2

(canceled)

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The packaging according to claim 1, characterized in that
the predetermined breaking point consists of two film layers that detachably adhere to each other.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The packaging according to claim 1,
characterized in that
the thermocouple provides a heat-conducting surface that contacts the generated mixture.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The packaging according to claim 1,
characterized in that
a first chamber of the packaging contains a solid and a second chamber of the packaging contains a liquid, wherein a predetermined breaking point is formed between the first chamber and the second chamber.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

The packaging according to claim 4,
characterized in that
the solid is dried milk and the liquid is water.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The packaging according to claim 1,
characterized in that
the thermocouple is energetically self-sufficient.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The packaging according to claim 1,
characterized in that
the thermocouple is a heating element that has a phase-change medium as well as an activation element.

### Claim 9 (depends on 7)

The packaging according to claim 7,
characterized in that
the activation element is a leaf spring that can be actuated manually.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The packaging according to claim 1,
characterized in that
the thermocouple is of such a size that the mean temperature of the mixture generated is never above 37° C.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The packaging according to claim 1,
characterized in that
the thermocouple is present loose in one of the chambers.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The packaging according to claim 1,
characterized in that
the packaging has a hollow chamber for thermally insulating the packaging from the environment.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The packaging according to claim 1,
characterized in that
the packaging has a temperature indicator for indicating the temperature inside the packaging.
