This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I've seen and heard this repeated so often but I seriously struggle to believe it.

Yeah sure it burns calories warming cold water up inside your body, but when you chug cold water on a hot day you can literally feel it inside you cooling you down.

Drinking hot drinks on a hot day warms you up further because you're holding a hot cup and sweating and steamy and basically purposefully making yourselt uncomfortable.

(Edited for spelling)

You need to live in a dry climate for it to work. The increased sweating more than makes up for the added heat from the tea.
