This puzzle was made for Scojo's weekly prompt. The prompt was just "Thermos". I may try do something a bit more creative still, but I thought I'd start with a classic thermo first. I hope you enjoy!

Missed opportunity to make it look like a face. :P Otherwise, great puzzle.

I’ve solved hundreds of sudokus, but this is the puzzles that made me realize the beauty of thermos. Thank you!

It is wonderful to watch possibilities dinimish as constraints work together. A very nice setting

There's a certain charm to a "pure" variant sudoku like this; excellent setting to this one.
