That’s a myth, disproven quite publicly. In normal conditions both hot and cold travel toward the air temperature at the same rate. (QI or mythbusters, i forget … I’m also lazy)

good call, ask the barista to make it not so hot. Those jokers at Starbucks will act like you’ve made the most troublesome request in the world, so go to a mom and pop braista.

I’d rather look at a graph that expresses the the law of thermodynamics in the most dry way than look at this dross.

As long as the beer stays cold…

Hate to be the bearer of bad scientific news, but DURRRRRRRRR!!!!!! Things adjust to the ambient (room) temperature pretty quickly. Unless it’s coffee (in which case you’re wrong and even more tarded). Coffee has this ungodly thermal hoarding quality I’ve never been able to explain or forgive, which drops off when you least want/expect it. When I buy it, it’s third-degree-burn scalding. I wait five minutes, it’s third-degree-burn-scalding. I wait ten minutes, it’s third-degree-burn scalding. I wait fifteen minutes, it’s like tap water. Coffee has voodoo in its bones. I’ll bet my snatch on it. Or it just hates me.

Hot things freeze faster.

I find quite the opposite actually and always burn my tongue on my coffee.

Actually, I hate to sound like a nerd, but there’s a scientific reason that hot liquid cools faster than already cooled liquid. I’m too lazy and nerdy to look it up though, but I remember it from high school. Some shizz to do with the speed of the molecules.

Or… they all become warm after 5 minutes. More specifically, room temp.

The graph doesn’t say anything about a beverage getting any colder or warmer after sitting out; it says getting cold period.

Or in the case of the beer or soda, to warm up.

I assume the maker of the graph means after leaving a cup of beverage out on the counter to cool down before taking his/her first sip.

THIRTEENTH!!! YESSSSSSSSSS Finally my life is complete!!

Out of the fridge I guess

Anyways… A beer out of the cooling won’t get any colder indeed, unless you live on one of the poles, that is.
A soda, same problem… They both warm UP, not cool DOWN.

so, unless you live on the North Pole, or the Antartic, the likelyhood of your soda or beer cooling down is near 0…

The other two… depends on where you keep ‘em warm/cold

Me neither. In fact, I completely disagree with this graph.. Those thermal cups can keep hot beverages nuclear-tongue-scorching hot for a long long time. Beer, on the hand, I’ve noticed seems warm more quickly. and the taste drastically differs from the first cold sip compared to the last warmed ounce. But hey, that’s just me.

I will only point out that “Never”, “Not Likely”, “Maybe” and “For Sure” are not percentages.
