Cold? What is this cold you speak of?
So I’m in Winnipeg, central Canada (hence the “Aboot” link above).
It is winter. It is currently -20 C out (somewhere around -4 F).
And I’m thirsty. So what do I do?

(Not actual size.)
No matter the season, the only true way to recognise a Winnipegger is by the size of the Slurpee in his hand.

Damn Canadians
that’s bad enough to want to separate…. hey wait!… (Runs to the local separatist cell)!
What’s next? Tim Horton’s Iced Cappucinos?
You probably just made my friend Eric a blood brother… because he ALWAYS drinks Iced Cappuccinos in winter.
Brrrrr….
Hello from Edmonton. It’s 80 degrees here, and the palm trees are gently swaying on a warm breeze from the ocean. I’m having a slurpee by the pool right now.
Ah, yes, the tropic heat of Edmonton, which is further north than Winnipeg.
…how’s that work?
EDIT: Nice site, by the way. I love the 5-room dungeon method.
Isn’t drinking a Slurpee of that size in -20 C weather fatal? I just keep picturing your head crumbling into ice shards from an attack of epic brain freeze. Canadians must have some freeze-resistant gene we Michiganders lack.
Pfft. What are you talking about. It’s a simple matter of science.
The world is at -20/-30/-40 C.
The slurpee is between 0 C (freezing temperature) and -5 C.
Hence, we drink the slurpee to warm up.
See? Science!
