How cold can a cold drink get?
Have you ever wondered just how cold a cold drink can get? Whether it's a refreshing soda, a chilled iced tea, or a frosty smoothie, we all love sipping on a cold beverage, especially on a hot summer day. But have you ever wondered what happens when you push the limits and try to make your drink even colder? In this article, we'll explore the fascinating world of cold drinks and find out just how low temperatures can go.
The Science of Cold Drinks:
To understand how cold a drink can get, we need to dive into the science behind it. Most cold drinks are made by mixing water with various ingredients such as sugar, flavorings, and carbonation. Water has a freezing point of 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit), but the presence of other substances can lower this freezing point. For example, adding sugar or salt to water lowers its freezing point, allowing it to remain in a liquid state at temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius.
Reaching the Lowest Possible Temperature:
The lowest temperature a cold drink can reach largely depends on the freezing point depression caused by the added substances. By using techniques like freezing or adding ice, it's possible to lower the temperature of a drink significantly. However, there are limits to how cold a drink can get without turning into a solid block of ice.
In typical household freezers, the temperature ranges from -15 to -20 degrees Celsius (5 to -4 degrees Fahrenheit). While this may seem incredibly cold, it's not the absolute limit. In fact, with the right equipment, such as laboratory-grade freezers or liquid nitrogen, it's possible to achieve even lower temperatures.
Liquid Nitrogen: The Chilled Champion:
Liquid nitrogen is a commonly used substance to achieve extremely low temperatures. It has a boiling point of -196 degrees Celsius (-321 degrees Fahrenheit), making it perfect for freezing things quickly. When liquid nitrogen comes into contact with a cold drink, it rapidly evaporates, absorbing heat from the surrounding environment and cooling down the beverage to incredibly low temperatures.
However, it's important to note that liquid nitrogen should only be handled by professionals in controlled environments due to its extremely cold temperature and potential hazards. It should never be ingested directly, as it can cause severe burns or other injuries.
Enjoying Your Cold Drink:
While it's exciting to explore the limits of how cold a drink can get, it's important to remember that the primary goal is to enjoy your beverage safely. Most household refrigerators and freezers can chill drinks to a refreshing temperature suitable for consumption. If you're curious about experimenting with colder temperatures, it's best to consult professional advice or find specialized equipment designed for freezing drinks safely.
Conclusion:
So, how cold can a cold drink get? While household freezers can reach temperatures as low as -20 degrees Celsius (-4 degrees Fahrenheit), achieving even colder temperatures requires specialized equipment like liquid nitrogen. Remember, the key is to enjoy your cold drink responsibly and prioritize your safety. So go ahead, grab your favorite chilled beverage, and savor its refreshing taste, knowing that the science behind its coolness adds an extra touch of fascination to every sip.

i think growing up is just life repeatedly sucker punching you and saying bitch you thought things were gonna better lmao no you're so naive and stupid for having hope in 20 years the world will be flaming bag of garbage and no matter how hard you work you'll get eliminated at some point
#and then you just have to get up and keep living anyway because what else is there to do?#but man my heart keeps feeling heavier with every blow#2024 has literally been the worst year ever god personally too#like everytime i think it can't possibly get worse than this it does#i remember literally 9th jan i had such a horrible breakdown in an auto because the first friend i ever made#after school was leaving my work and therefore my life#9 days into the year. seriously. and i was so happy on 8th because it was my birthday#i don't know im trying hard to think okay this doesn't even affect me it's fine im privileged enough that even my own countrys politics#barely affects me#but just. india is already so behind in everything. if developed nations are doing shit like this then well#it will never get better right like who do we even strive to be#i want to get more into indian politics but my god. it's so horrifying and depressing all the time#like i remember resolving to follow politics closely few years ago and the first news#i read was about some minister talking about how girls skirts lengths IN SCHOOL is the reason boys do sa and boys will be boys etc etc#i know i could just follow business news stuff like that god knows it'll help in my field but it just. doesn't resonate with me doesn't#make me feel anything at all. like i so desperately want to care about ooh stock markets and how to grow your money etc etc#but when i think about being rich enough to invest idle money all i can think is sitting in my own home peacefully#drinking a glass of cold coffee and just being able to breathe freely because me and my sister used to joke in childhood#when dad went thru a coffee v bad for health phase and he wouldn't let us drink it so we would drink it very sneakily#at night when he was asleep or went out for an hour and make absolutely no noise while mixing the sugar. we said that we know#we'll* know we have achieved true freedom and happiness in life when we can peacefully drink cold coffee in the hall and not secretly#in the dead of night in our room#i don't even know what im talking about and my period is late again and nothing is working and my lazer focus#that i had built in the past few weeks is gone because suddenly im like what is the point????#i just don't understand how the fuck humans can fight over stupid fucking things like who is kissing who and who is doing what with their#body instead of focusing on collective issues like our planet is dying so fucking fast and every summer is getting impossibler to survive#i hate that the united states control the UN fuck this world fr man i hate being born in such horrible helpless times#like call me a kid or dumb or whatever but i cannot understand how MILLIONS of people do not#have sympathy for ppl around them and who don't care about the planet at all like how????? how did you grow up????#not trying to boast but this is so natural to me!!! didn't you make save water save earth posters in school!!! didn't anyone

Yellow Goblin Tonic
We've all been there, snivelling and coughing, as hoarse as a goblin. This is my go-to cure for minor ailments like colds and coughs, which I drink at least twice a day when I'm feeling under the weather. This isn't the most delicious recipe I've written, but it's bound to give your immune system a kick!  Down the hatch!
You will need:
2 cups water
Juice of 4 big lemons
200g ginger root, peeled and chopped into chunks
1/2 cup honey or brown sugar
3 tsp turmeric powder (or 1 small turmeric root, peeled and chopped)
2 tsp cayenne powder
2 tsp ginseng syrup (optional)
Method:
Bring the water to a boil and add all your ingredients except for the honey. Boil on full heat for 3-5 minutes before bringing down to low heat.
Leave to simmer uncovered to reduce for 10-15 minutes, stirring periodically. If the mixture begins to dry out, top up with water.
Continue to simmer after the first top up and reduce until you are left with about one cup of concentrated liquid. It should be bright yellow and very potent!
Remove from the heat and strain the liquid into a bottle or jar. Add the honey and stir through thoroughly. Best served as concentrated shots, but also good when diluted slightly with half a cup of warm water per shot.

Been seeing some Eddie headcanons so here's one from me bc why not :)
I hc Eddie seriously prefers hot/warm foods over cold foods. He's the kinda guy who'd microwave his Uncrustable (for those who don't know, an Uncrustable is a pb&j completely wrapped in bread, like a ravioli and is most often eaten cold :) )
There's exceptions and he'd eat refrigerator cold things occasionally, like salad, bc warm salad is probably gross. Tho he'd have warm things in there, like chicken or something to balance it out.
He tends to pass on frozen foods, like ice cream. The only time he willingly eats ice cream is:
it's melted and is now a soup, or
Paired with something warm, like a warm brownie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (similar to how he adds warm food to salads)

Words can't describe how much I love the thought of somebody curled up on the couch, all bundled in their warmest clothes, holding a mug of tea between their hands like that warmth is the first they've felt in days.. and they've got a miserable cold

#there's something really beautiful about experiencing the weather patterns of a new place#where i live now. its not like where i grew up. not like the foothills of Appalachia but its more familiar than the Chihuahuan desert was#when i go home to ohio everythings so green. so green. unimaginably green and the towns are in the woods. the hills roll#and trees billow deciduous and packed so tightly the treeline is like a wall of plant matter. here there are trees but they are tall and#evergreen. patchy in places like shrubs in the desert. the grass grows green but also pale tan and dead. houses are routed in valleys#between mountains. they're made of wood and not stucco but they still look strange and the landscape is crumpled together tall. and there's#water. it rains. days can be dreary and gray with drizzle. i forgot what thats like. when a single low stratus cloud blocks out thewhole sk#and fog clings to the trees. my school bus used to drive by a lake where thr fog was so thick i didnt kno how the driver could see the road#but somehow i forgot how much joy suspended water vapor gives me living in a place where when it rains it pours so hard the streets flood#and the greedy ground drinks the landscape dry. but there are new things as well. here smoke rolls up over thr mountains and gets stuck in#the valleys so that the weather forcast reads: Smoke for days on end. im used to tornado warnings and heat warnings and dust storm warnings#but ive never expected Smoke as a type of weather. and im sure there's more to experience. ive only been here like 3 weeks. its not as gree#as home. the storms dont seem to get quite so violent. the woods are so full of bears that its an active threat. but its not the desert#and while ill miss the shapes of desert plants and little lizards. when i look up at the pine and spruce trees i feel like i can breathe a#little easier. well see how i feel once the long cold winter sets in haha#but i dunno. part of me still longs for a violent thunderstorm. one where u can feel the temperature drop and u csn feel it building all da#one that bends the trees and smells like ozone. it was never like that in thr southwest and im not sure that happens here#but maybe thats just a desire for chaos and violence as a product of my pathological internal control. i cant be spontaneous so let nature#bring the fear to me. some of my favorite memories are watching lightning strikes#so it goes i suppose#unrelated#listen. is it fucked up to have ohio nostalgia? maybe so. but in my defense i grew up in the pretty part of ohio lol
