I watched a Mthbusters that I had missed yesterday which tested the
fastest way to cool beer.

So I tried the experiment myself yesterday with a couple of Playmate
coolers.

First cooler had a six pack of Diet Pepsi, ice and salt water. I used
about a 1/4 box of salt on the ice and in the second cooler a six pack
of Diet Pepsi with just ice. I put both coolers on the rear deck, in
the sun, of my Ranger at 6 PM.

As expected, the ice/salt combination cooled the soda to 36 degrees F
in roughly fifteen minutes which matches the Mythbusters experiment.
As of 10 PM last evening, the ice only soda only reached 45 degrees.

However, the interesting piece of this was this morning. The ice/salt
water combination over night kept the soda cooled and as of ten
minutes ago, the water was at 50 degrees F. The straight ice cooler
water was at 62 degrees.

Cool huh?

Get it - cool?

Not so cool was your use of Diet Pepsi. Blech.
Diet Coke is the diet cola of choice.

"No coke, pepsi only."

Diet Coke sucks.

Diet Pepsi rules!!

Whatever is on sale.

Right now, Coke is 2 twelves for $6, Pepsi is 2 twelves for $5 at Hess.
Plus tax & Deposit. Minus 5% if you use your free Hess/Chase VISA. I
just bought 4 twelves of the Diet P to get me through the weekend.

$10 + .73 tx + $2.40 deposit = $13.13. Final cost $12.47, or $10.07
after I return the empties.

How many of the new Emergency Truck toys did you buy at Hess. That's the
important question!
