The Starbucks I proceed to ran out of cold cups for my ice coffee. They put in a hot cup instead. In a matter of a car ride,it nearly fell apart as I picked it up. This never happens with my hot coffee? Edit: i get it, I get it. It sounds like my coffee is hot indefinetly. submitted by sniprez to explainlikeimfive[link][454 comments]
