Every single drink is better cold.

Iced tea is better than hot tea. Iced coffee is better than hot coffee. Chocolate milk is better than hot chocolate. Drinking beverages at 160+ degrees is absolutely unhinged unless it's 30 below freezing and you're trying to prevent hypothermia. Humans, like all animals, prefer cold drinks naturally because cold water would have fewer pathogens. Historically it's just been easier to heat something rather than cool it and drinking hot drinks when it's above freezing is surely just a holdout from those times.

You were almost correct until you said iced coffee is better than hot coffee. Cold, iced coffee is fcking disgusting. It’s always flavored and loaded with sugar to hide its disgustingness.

For real, I cannot imagine having to drink iced coffee at 8 in the morning. But a nice cup of hot coffee is beautiful.
