Iced coffee can easily be delicious. I've even screwed up in making my coffee in the morning sometimes and fixed it by popping in a few ice cubes before rushing out the door.
The statement wasn't about lukewarm drinks, but cold drinks.

Consider also that there are plenty of beverages that are usually served cold which would be terrible if served hot, such as lemonade, soda, and most mixed (alcoholic) drinks.

I probably drink more iced tea than hot tea, but that's only because iced tea is more readily available than hot tea.

Hot tea scalds my tongue

Orange- N cannot be spoken, or even thought about in my household. If my parents ever found out that I have played N since the cleansing, my life would be ruined. I keep the game in a multi-passworded .rar on a USB flash drive inside a locked boron alloy container that requires two keys to open (I keep one under the 64th hammer in my piano, and the other one in a small section of removable ceiling in the corner of the attic) hidden in a wall compartment lined with aluminium foil to prevent sonar detection behind my 375 kg cupboard, which is bolted to the floor - the only way to reach it is to abseil outside the fourth floor window and use a screwdriver to unfasten the screws holding the secret brick in place on the opposite side of the wall, but the screwdriver must be a specific type like the one I own, since if any other screwdriver comes into contact with the screws, the entire building will explode, as will a seperate charge placed inside the boron alloy container, rendering the USB useless. Even once the container is retrieved, attemping to open it without the arming pin in place (which is kept inside the battery compartment of my Maglite) will cause the water reservoirs lining the container to burst and react with the caesium lining, causing the container to burst into flames - the only way to prevent this is to use the arming pins to shut off the reservoirs with a sliding steel door. The USB itself contains an accelerometer linked to an explosive charge, meaning that if the USB detects its own movement speed as being greater than 5 cm/s, it will explode - any person attempting to steal it would have to move at a uselessly slow speed. Once plugged into a computer, the USB will upload a ghost virus onto it, leaving no traces. Only the right password can deactivate this virus, and if it is left on the computer for more than six hours, it will format all drives.

As you can see, I take my N playing very seriously.

Guiseppi- I'd much rather watch animals get boned in the ass.

Yanni- If it's glad, it's not rape.

Tsukatu- I refuse to use throw-away bags for such a frequent purpose as buying groceries. Instead, I've collected the hair of my two pet dogs and have woven them together into an all-natural, 100% environmentally friendly bag that I bring with me everywhere. And when I buy products that come in glass and plastic containers, I track down the company that packages them and ship back their containers so that they don't take up space in landfills.


Yeah, I use plastic.

Hot tea. If it's too hot, I'll put ice in it.

I don't like hot coffee, but I do enjoy iced one.
Also, coffee almost doesn't have a taste at all. Try drinking it with your nose clamped, you'll see what I'm talking about :D

Tea... I love it both ways! Sometimes I drink a cup of hot tea in the morning, it's quite refreshing. In the summer, I switch to the iced version. My favorite is a plain mint tea.

Coffee doesn't have taste? I dunno what coffee are you drinking, but it's certainly not the same coffee I drink.


Also, never drunk cold coffee, and such concept quite confuses me.

It's called chocolate milk, and it's been around for awhile.

As for tea, it depends completely on what season it is; during the winter I prefer hot tea, during summer I prefer iced.

@ EdoI: Clamping your nose shut reduces/alters the taste of most things, unless they have a strong flavour. Like coffee.

Hm. I actually found about this somewhere in a magazine or on TV, and when I try it, it tastes very vapid to me. Not just me, anyone who tried it said it's vapid and tasteless.

No, but I don't put them in my hot chocolate either. You've really only made the point that your preferences are "better" than mine, which really isn't a point. Hot chocolate and chocolate milk are made with very similar, if not identical ingredients...that's my point, and at least it's objectively verifiable.

I know it is weird that all drinks taste good cold, but it is true. Another example of drinks that taste terrible warm or hot are soft drinks. Although, I once had hot Dr. Pepper that was made in a Dr. Pepper factory and it was alright. Still better cold.

[/quote]Do you put marshmallows in your chocolate milk? I didn't think so. Point made.[/quote]

I just tried this, and it was good. I am going to make another definite statement. You can put marshmallows in anything chocolatey, and it will taste good.
