Stirred, not shaken


This is amazing. And it works.
And I'm stealing this from another blog I read, but not verbatim so maybe it's OK.
If you buy canned colas, but you forget to chill them in the frig the night before, take a big bowl and fill it most of the way with water and ice. Add a tsp and a half of salt. Stir. Add the can of cola and wait 2 minutes. It works because the salt cools the water even more and the stirring does something else scientific and the aluminum of the can is happy from all of the above.
Enjoy. (And make it a diet soft drink, as this is a health and fitness blog by God, and we have a reputation to uphold.)

so you wouldn't recommend this for chilling a beer or a Red Bull?

Yeah, I guess that would work, too. As long as it's aluminum. ... but, alas, more calories, so I can't in good conscience lead you down the slippery slope. :)
