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. 4 DRINK HACKS
TO KEEP YOUR BEVERAGE COOL
the bowl. This process will cool your drink more than twice as fast as just putting it in the freezer.
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. 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!
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
TESTIMONIALS
“I’ve been going here for 15 years, and it’s basically family. I never dread going to the dentist. The girls are always friendly and very helpful. Julie is the greatest and has always helped me over the years with scheduling, payments, and understanding the appointments. Dr. Thomason takes his time and makes sure he does a thorough exam while still being time-efficient. This really is a great place to go!” –Allyson N. “Wow! I never imagined I could have such an easy and pleasurable dental visit. My hygienist, Jennifer, not only did a thorough job on my cleaning, but she also managed to make it completely pain-free, even with my sensitive teeth. She is just wonderful. The doctor was very knowledgeable and took time to discuss my treatment plan with me. Great staff and top-notch care.”
“Took my daughter for her first-ever dentist appointment here. The staff was very friendly. Jen was absolutely amazing with my daughter. My daughter was a little nervous when we first went in, but Jen made it so fun for her! She completely took any nerves away! She was thorough and very knowledgeable and explained to my little girl everything she was doing. Thank you, everyone, for making it a great experience. We will be back!”
