This is very interesting.  Yet another testimonial for Wall- o-Water.

I've never tried them so can't comment from personal experience.  But I'm
curious.  How do they work?  Why do peppers like them?  I'm a natural skeptic and
need plausible reasons before accepting any extrodinary claims.

Please don't give me the "stores heat during the day" and "releases it all night
long" story because I have a thermometer and can easily show that water cools to
ambient very quickly (within minutes) when the sun goes down.  So whats the
story?  I find WoW's claims to be suspicious.

I don't mind being wrong.  Feel free to correct me.
