the trick is to only fill it half, and then freeze it on the side. Pour in water and get instant ice water (and leaving it in the freezer for hours is no problem)
Usually, I do too, but I was looking so forward to super-cold-ice-just-beginning-to-form-water, especially since there was no ice in the freezer and the tap at work wasn’t particularly cold.

Too true. Multi-hour Distractions and freezing liquids have cost me a half-dozen or more cups…and a number of my favorite sodas.

Nah, this is just a plastic liter bottle that I buy about once a month, and then refill daily until it starts to smell weird.

Nice trick, I’ll have to try it. Usually, I make it to the freezer for a water break soon enough, though.

That … is brilliant. I am going to have to try it. now.

That should be a comma after “it”, not a period. I mention this only because how disturbing it sounds punctuated the way it is. o.O

I am an HVAC technician in Texas. And honestly, after 125+ degree attics. Water is water is water is water.
Tap, bottled. I don’t care as long as there is no ice.
