How do the Chinese do that?

For Christmas, we got a free movie rental at Hollywood Video. This was perfect as Ryan's been wanting to rent a movie for some time and we've been having a hard time finding it at Redbox.

Anyway, as we were driving to the store, Ryan was sitting in the backseat holding onto the free rental voucher. On the back of it, it had the Logo of Hollywood Video printed in special ink that if it was exposed to heat, like breathing on it, the Logo would temporarily disappear, so that you can tell if it's a legitimate voucher. Ryan read the back of the voucher and realized that if he breathed on it the logo would disappear. Then he said "How do the Chinese do that?"

Not knowing what he was talking about, I responded with "How do the Chinese do what?" He then explained the special ink on the back of the voucher and how it disappeared with heat. Then Ryan said, "Well don't the Chinese make the special ink."

The answer was "Yes, they probably do make the special ink."
