eli5 will water get colder slower in a YETI

193 views

Hi all,

I recently got a YETI and it got me to wondering. When I have ice and water in there, will the ice transfer heat to the water more slowly because it’s so insulated and therefore less impacted by the outside air temperature? I know that things will stay overall colder longer because of the insulation but does that insulation effect items inside?

An insulated bottle inhibits the exchange of heat between what’s inside of it and what’s outside of it.

Whatever you mix on the inside of it, those things will behave toward each other the same way as they would out in the open or in any other container.

So no, a YETI doesn’t make ice chill a drink slower. It’ll chill the drink the same as if the drink was in a plain old glass.
