TO KEEP YOUR BEVERAGE COOL
The sun is summer’s greatest ally — and greatest enemy. For every sun-soaked day at the beach, there are sunburns trying to ruin the party. With every excuse to drink an icy beverage, the sunshine’s more determined to keep the drink from staying cool.
Bonus Hack: This has nothing to do with the sun, but is still a neat way to make drinking your beverage easier. If you go fancy and use a straw when you drink from a can, you know how hard it is to get the straw to stay put. Spin the can’s tab around and feed the straw through it. Now you’ll have a well-behaved straw that doesn’t shift around when you need it to be there for you. The sun is hot, and the summer is long. You need the comfort of a cool beverage to help you get through it. Keep cool, wear sunscreen, and have fun!
This other example requires less work, but it takes more freezer space. And if you’re like the rest of us, your freezer is pretty packed in the summer! Wet a paper towel and wrap it around a bottle or can before you place it in the freezer. The contents inside will cool much more quickly. If you have more time to plan, this hack will keep your drink cold for longer. Ice doesn’t fit in a bottle, and freezing your beer or other beverage will get you to Slushy Town in a hurry. Fill an empty bottle about halfway, put the cap on, and place it in the freezer on its side. When it’s frozen, pour your favorite beverage inside — the ice from top to bottom will keep the contents cool on the go.
These hacks will allow you to enjoy the benefits of the summer sun without the side effect of a warm beverage. First, let’s say you just got home from the grocery store where you purchased a 12-pack of your favorite soda. You’re thirsty and it’s room temperature at best , right? Patience is a virtue, but there’s nothing wrong with accelerating the process. Fill a bowl with ice water and add a teaspoon of salt, then submerge a can of soda in the bowl. This process will cool your drink more than twice as fast as just putting it in the freezer.
“My review is unsolicited, and I have received no form of compensation for it. KAT Construction has done an amazing job with our reroofing job. From diagnosis of hail damage, to helping with the insurance claim, to securing the construction permit with the city of Richfield, to the one-day roof replacement, KAT Construction saw the project through from beginning to end. The roof was replaced with GAF-brand shingles with a 50-year (aka lifetime) warranty, which is a KAT standard for roof replacement. Suffice it to say, I believe the house looks great with this new roof. As mentioned before, the actual tear-off and reroof was completed in just one day. When I left for work, the crew was just arriving, and when I returned home, they were beginning their site cleanup. With regards to the cleanup, a crew member ran a large magnet around the perimeter of the house. Given the number of nails that are pulled from the tear-off, I admit I was surprised to find just two missed nails. I have no reservations recommending KAT Construction for reroofing projects.”
“We hired KAT Construction to help us after a hailstorm. Our insurance company was trying to give us less money than we were supposed to get through our contract. KAT dealt with the insurance company and helped us get the claim that we were owed. They followed through with all the work until everything was completed. Very helpful company; I would highly recommend KAT Construction!”
