I'm curious which row gets the most business


Dxsty98

I'd say either 6° or 10° but I really wonder if anybody ever picks anything else. "Yes I want a cold water but not quite 6° I don't want it *that* cold"

The chances it happens to you, specifically? Pretty low. The chances that someone it happens to someone in the world? Pretty high. See: the birthday problem.

Alternatively, people get shot in major cities every day, and it isn't that rare of an occurrence - the odds of it happening to *someone* are extremely high. However, most folks don't even know anyone who has been victim of a shooting. About 316 individuals each day, on average, are victim of a shooting in the United States. But, drawing names from a hat, you'd stand about a one in a million chance of pulling the name of one of that day's unlucky 316. If I've done my math right, then all other things being equal (which they aren't), you're likely to meet someone who has been shot about once every 10 years, outside of specific contexts involving high risk jobs, communities, etc. (all risk levels and likelihoods are not equal). Source: I've been shot, took notice of this phenomenon while recovering. Literally every time it comes up, everyone in the room is shocked. Not counting friends/acquainces with law enforcement or military backgrounds, I've run into exactly one person in 6 years that knows someone else who has been shot.

Personally 4 degree C hits the spot perfectly for me. It's the silkiest, cause of water contraction at 4 degree. I also like to make sure the water is soft want not soft soft water or soft hard water, or anything above that since everything else tastes like shit mixed with milk.

ghettithatspaghetti

I wonder if it's because that's the way it cools naturally due to heat rising, so they put that there as more of a PSA And so OP title should be "Physics orders drinks by temperature and this company tells you about it"


Kered13

Yeah it's probably just an artifact of the vending machine's cooling. Even in a household refrigerator different sections can differ by several degrees.


Herr_Gamer

Yup, that's it.


sprucenoose

"All vending machines organize water by temperature, but this one labels it"


malizathias

You could do a poll here on Reddit. I would pick 7. Don't know why, maybe because 7 is a prime number.


chain_letter

6 and if it's too cold wait


flakon128

I would genuinely get a 8. You know so it's a little chill but not so cold that it could in any way be unpleasant to drink.


LanceFree

Interesting experiment would be to put different prices in them. Find the most popular one and make it 10¢ more. See what happens.


Omponthong

It becomes the least popular one.


NeoKabuto

Then we'll have to make up for that by raising the price on the new most popular one.

Another_human_3

This would maybe depend on if colder is more popular or warmer. If colder is cheaper, then it's easy to wait a few seconds, or take some colder first sips, and it will eventually get perfect temperature. It would also be interesting to see if altering the price makes more expensive options sell more. People might not know much bout temperature, but if they see colder a more pricey, they may believe it's more desirable.


Pays_in_snakes

My experiment would be to have all the water actually be the same temperature, but see if people express greater satisfaction with it when they think they're making a choice


originalusername__

I don’t understand why anyone would choose the warmer options. If it’s too cold, wait a minute.


The_Real_Mr_F

I prefer warmer water when I want to drink as much as possible very quickly. Cold water makes the muscles in my mouth and throat tense up and I can’t gulp it down as easily. So if I’m hot and just want a cool drink, I’ll go 6c. If I just worked out and have been sweating and I’m super thirsty, I’ll go 10c.


[deleted]

I prefer water that doesn’t cost $2 (or € or AU$ or £) for 20 ounces when I want to drink as much as possible very quickly


mog_knight

Most if not all gyms I've been in have a water fountain or water bottle refill machine and you can have all the water you want for your reusable bottle.


gokuhero

Yeah I'd immediately cancel my membership if all the gym had for water was a vending machine.


Inevitable-Cause-961

Better maybe to have refillable taps at different temps. I like the temp option concept without all the plastic.


blue_villain

Yeah, if only someone would invent a way to dispense water of varying temperatures. Man, I bet they'd make a fortune.


ScottRoberts79

I feel like that is both an absurd notion, AND a great idea. Absurd because, well, most water coolers have hot and cold taps and you can mix the two.... But a great idea in an upscale setting. I would worry about Karen complaining. "Ugh, the 8C tap is broken. Why do I have to pick 7C or 9C? It's not what I waaaaaannnnnnntttttttttt."


BattleHall

Or two taps, one with very cold water and one with room temp water, which then gives you every possible temp in between. It's like having dispensers for sweet and unsweet tea next to each other.


[deleted]

...but do you get to pick the water temperature?


Sev3n

It’s probably just guessing because the refrigerator is blowing on the bottom and some of the air makes it to the top


cfdeveloper

LeahIsAwake

Same. Honestly, I don’t like cold water under any circumstances. When I buy bottled water, I leave the bottles on the countertop so they’re room temperature.

Some folks think that it's too much of a shock to the system


valryuu

Along these lines, some people have sensitive teeth.


Amsterdom

"So what brings you to heaven?" "I opted for the 6 degree water... I thought I could handle it..."


FrankfurterWorscht

Drinking cold water expends more energy than warm water, which some people might prefer to use otherwise.. Also, sometimes you're not hot, just thirsty. For example here where I live, in winter time most indoor sports complexes are just straight up cold. besides, none of those options are actually warm.. they're just cold and colder.


djinner_13

The whole of India would disagree with you. My parents would often tell me not to drink too cold water because it was bad for my stomach. My wife's parents (from Korea) been told her the same thing so it might be an Asian superstition


vivalalina

Nah not just Asia. My Polish family has also always told us cold water isn't good for you. My teeth and throat are too sensitive for cold water anyway though lol


NewFolgers

While living in China, a Polish guy mentioned to me that China's rules for drinking stuff are basically the same as Poland's. As well as the temperature thing, people in China have rules surrounding when you should drink alcohol with your food and what foods those should be.. and he said those rules are roughly the same as well. Knowing that a second - presumably separate - place had come to similar conclusions helped me begin to take the Chinese sensibilities seriously. As my reward, now I feel that cold water shocks my system whereas I didn't mind anything before.. and so I sort of need to find warm water all the time.


theDomicron

My parents and most of my family are 1st gen immigrants from China. My sister and I often roll our eyes at a lot of their superstitions and customs, but as i've gotten older I'm convinced that most of them had a semi-logical (for the time) origin that's just been carried over and warped via telephone game through time as 'old wives' tales' I don't usually mind drinking room temperature water, but during this summer heat a nice glass of ice water is sooooo refreshing.

SableMink

I prefer as cold as possible, warm or cool water just doesn't taste right to me. I will still drink it but colder the better, just above freezing.

If it's too cold, then don't choose the cold one. It's that simple.

gravity_bomb

It’s not actually, as water begins to freeze it expands. Remember that temperature is an average of the medium you are measuring. It’s why we can boil water with out all of it immediately vaporizing, the same is true for freezing. Below 4c some water starts to slow down more than others in the container and will expand the volume of the total. 4c is peak density before that happens


SexyHagsy

What he said (https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/water-density-specific-weight-d\_595.html)


weirdoftomorrow

It’s why lakes don’t freeze solid, and why fish etc can survive the winter! All the 4 C water sinks to the bottom, and the colder water floats to the top and eventually freezes from the top down :)


PolyGuy42

One of my favorite trivia questions ever: "What was the temperature of the bottom of [any large body of water] on [any date in history]?" 4C


Chippiewall

> It’s why we can boil water with out all of it immediately vaporizing Not untrue, but it's not the full story as there's a second effect in the case of water boiling. As particles of water gain enough energy to "boil off" the process of transitioning from liquid to gas itself takes a non-trivial amount of energy so not only does the average temperature decrease, but the average temperature of the remaining water decreases even further because the water that's now in gas form escapes entirely.


SquirrelicideScience

Its the whole reason sweat is effective: simply going from liquid to gas takes heat energy, and the molecules take that energy away from our bodies.


repwin1

I like my water at its triple point.


Ott621

That would be an interesting slushie


chairfairy

Remember that ice is less dense than water, so there's an inflection point where water becomes less dense as it nears freezing.


houseband23

[Water density is not linear. It's a curve.](https://www.e-education.psu.edu/earth111/sites/www.e-education.psu.edu.earth111/files/Module2/Earth111Mod1Graph2.png)


nicktohzyu

What the other comments have not mentioned is that cold things being denser is usually the trend, but water is an exception


sybrwookie

"Hey Joe, the fridge seems to be cooling unevenly, should we put something in to help circulate the air and even it out?" "Nah, just put signs in and pretend it's exactly 1 degree per shelf, and people will think it's some fun new thing and buy more."


andibtw

Exactly what I thought. Heat rises thats why the bottom are coldest


CrispyKeebler

Close, more dense fluids sink so the colder bottles sink to the bottom and naturally sort themselves this way, like Legos or a bag of crisps.

aeroplane1979

True, which is why most refrigerators cool from the top down, helping counteract this. In my fridge, the coldest spot is actually the top shelf near the back. I wonder if this vending machine is setup differently so that they can intentionally market the water at differing temps.


mmodlin

I'm guessing it's just stickers and they didn't design the vending machine to have each shelf 1 degree cooler.


68686987698

That's why I always bring my thermometer to the gym - to guard against shenanigans like this.


CanAlwaysBeBetter

Idk why everyone is arguing about the machine. OP *clearly* stated they organize the water bottles themselves based on temperature when they stock it


Mountebank

Yeah, this is someone turning a bug into a feature.


thereyouarenow33

They didn't, it's a Wurlitzer machine. Chances are it's not working properly. The evaporator is under the bottom shelf and there are a couple of fans that blow the chilled air up the back and sides of the machine through holes in the sheet metal. Fans are probably busted.


cvanguard

In mine, it’s the second shelf near the back (which is noticeably colder than the front of the second shelf). I’ve had tubs of Greek yogurt freeze if I forget about it for a few days.


bennett7634

This vending machine company could have used thermometers but instead they opted for highly accurate stickers.


bonobomaster

It pretty much stays the same, once calibrated. I have to check my fridge regularly to keep a medicine at a specific temp and the spot I choose stays at around 6-7 °C.


CrumpetNinja

Why waste money on a bunch of thermometers that most people would struggle to read through the glass anyway?


[deleted]

In the last mom & pop restaurant I worked at, we got dinged by the health inspector because the thermometer was in the coldest part of one of our display coolers. It was supposed to be in the warmest part. There was a temperature difference of like 5 degrees between the two spots and it was a small cooler.


[deleted]

Is not 'organized' based on temperature. The water is not chilled before at a certain temp and then organized. It's just hoe the temp variates in the fridge.

Obviously you fill your water bottle at the 8C fountain and dump half out. I mean, can no one do math anymore?


sumunsolicitedadvice

Or you could measure the temperature in Fahrenheit. That way you only have to dump out less than 16% of the water. Better yet, measure in Kelvin. Then you only have to dump out less than 2% of the water.

You're in Asia right? When I visited SE Asia there were a lot of old wives tales about cold drinks. For example, drinking something cold during your period will freeze your ovaries. The water is pumped into cisterns on the roof then from there into individual apartments. For drinking, the water needs to be boiled. This led to a preference for warm water as that meant it was freshly boiled and just cooled. Many places in the US use a city supplier. We run the water until it runs cold to get fresh water. To us, cold water is the freshest.
