Why is it that warm food/drinks get cold when left out but cold food/drinks get warm when left out?
In: Physics
Basically everything moves toward room temperature, food or otherwise.
It so happens that we like some food to be hot so we heat it, and some to be cold so we chill it, and that wears off after a while. Your potato chips, from the cabinet, which have neither been heated nor chilled, stay exactly as they are because they are already at room temperature.
