ICE-9.
External link:

Did you ever read Cat's Cradle, by Kurt Vonnegut? In the book there's this stuff called Ice-9, which is water that is frozen at room temperature. And if it touches any other water, it turns it into Ice 9. It's the ultimate doomsday weapon, since a tiny drop could turn all the oceans in the world solid.

So I got this stuff yesterday called "The Heat Solution" from a company called Prism Enterprises. It's so cool. There's a plastic pouch filled with transparent liquid. Floating in the liquid is a small metal disk. You flex the disk, and suddenly the liquid turns solid at the disk, and the "solidness" quickly spreads like a blooming flower until the whole pouch is solid white crystal. It also heats up to 130 degrees F for half an hour, which is the selling point. Afterwards, you can boil it in water, and it turns clear again.
