Georgia, I have a question,

How does a Thermos know when to keep something hot and when to keep something cold? I’ve been trying to trick my Thermos into making my hot coffee and iced coffee, but it isn’t working. Is there a trick I don’t know about?

Want It Cold

Dear Cold,

When you put a liquid in a Thermos, it will keep the temperature as close to the temperature it entered at....it doesn’t decide which to make it. Though I suppose if you put hot coffee in, then a bunch of ice cubes, it could potentially get cold enough to be deemed “iced”. Give it a shot and let me know how...
