I have the solution for global warming
 

All we have to do is collect all the extra ice from Wendy's beverages and send it to the arctic.

Seriously, 5 lbs of ice and 1 oz of pop. What am I, a polar bear?

I think it'll work.

you could be onto something there.....

Ice Diet

Melting one pound of ice requires input of 143 Btu of energy. To raise the temperature of the melted water from 32°F to 98°F takes another 66 Btu/lb, for a total of about 210 Btu per pound of ice. 1 Btu ~ 250 calories*.

Therefore, eating the ice will help you lose weight, as your body must generate that energy through conversion of fat to energy to maintain your body temperature.

*Food energy is usually measured in Calories, which are really kilocalories, so 1 Cal = 1 kcal = 1000 calories.

Should that be Men Unready for Frigid Females?

shooooot, you dove on that muff thing pretty quickly.

So, (250 little-c-calories) times (210 Btu) divided by 1000 = 52.5 regular food Calories per pound of ice I crunch? That's not bad, but I'd kind of hoped for a little more for my efforts. Maybe the chewing burns off some calories too?

I wonder how many pounds of ice you would need to eat to offset a double with cheese, large fries and a frosty.
