Why Mythbusters Rocks
Amy’s at bible study.
Kids in bed.
So I could play Xbox and my new favorite game, NFL Head Coach…but I’ll do a quick check of what is on the TV.
MYTHBUSTERS!!!! SWEET!!!
Tonight’s episode – the fastest way to cool beer. I’m sitting here laughing out loud. Take a 63 degree room temperature beverage (beer) to 38 degrees.
Method 1: Bury 6 pack in sand, pour gasoline on top of sand and burn it. That was busted pretty quick.
Method 2: Ice chest with Ice
Method 3: Ice chest with ice and water.
Method 4: Ice chest with ice, water, and salt
Method 5: the Fridge
Method 6: A fire extinguisher
The fastest?
The fire extinguisher. That will cool a 6 pack in 3 minutes. Of course, it’s going to be expensive – around $30 a pop. The second fastest was ice, water, and salt – good ole’ chemistry in action.
Youth ministry application? I think it’s clear. Next time you forget to cool down the cokes – get a cooler of ice, water, and salt and you’ll have cold colas in no time.
Or – if you have a great relationship with your elder board – grab the fire extinguishers.

I gotta go with the fire exstinguisher on this one. Kids would love it.
If your at your computer you can use this
What do you think about NFL Head Coach? I’m thinking of either getting that or the new NCAA. Head coach is cheaper, so I’m leaning towards that.
What happens if you put the beer in ice, water, and salt and spray the fire extinguisher on it? Does that take the time down to 1.5 minutes?
Remember, Grant, Cokes taste better cold so always have some in the fridge. Warm Cokes over ice just don’t cut it. Cold Mexican cokes in a bottle are the best (sugar cane vs. fructose). I read the other day that the beverage companies “load” the canned beverages with carbonation because it leaks out of aluminum. Not so with glass, so you get a more pure drink.
If ever at Grant’s house, don’t even try to hide a coke in the fridge. Someone always finds it and drinks it, leaving warm cokes.
Justin – I like NFL Coach but I have NCAA ’06 and won’t buy ’07.
They are two very different games…I need to post on this as a public service!!
Jlo – that’s an awesome idea!! The BEST ever (and I have some if you come buy the house this weekend!!)is the original formula Dr. Pepper with sugar cane!!!! Frost on the bottle!!!
wow … the stuff you learn at G’s blog!
