An odd thought
Since inventors spent a lot of time and effort creating ways to heat food faster (various kinds of stover, crock pots, ovens, microwaves, Foreman Grills), why is it we have never developed ways to cool foods faster? Think how nice it would be if someone invented a way to make a glass of tap water cold instantly. I'd think there was some utility to that idea, and, perhaps more importantly, money to be made.

There actually is a water recirculating system that can be used for this. Did you ever notice how water at a hotel or somewhere like that is basically instantly hot or cold?
I read an interesting book called "How would you move Mount Fuji?" that tackled topics like this.
Interesting. But I wonder why it hasn't been adapted for household use. Some refrigerators have chilled water, but that's because it's stored and chilled in the fridge. You'd think someone would make an instant chiller machine for beer.
Jeff, get with the times. It's called a kegerator.
OK, then why is it when my macaroni and cheese is too hot to eat, I don't have a gadget that will instantly render it edible?
(I usually eat it anyway, and the next day peel the dead skin off the roof of my mouth. But still ...)
