Two men ordered identical cups of iced coffee on a hot afternoon. One man chugged his instantly and survived. The other man sipped his slowly and died within minutes. The coroner confirmed the poison was in the ice cubes. How did the survivor avoid the poison?
The ice hadn't melted yet
The poison was frozen inside the ice cubes. Because the first man chugged his coffee immediately, the ice didn't have time to melt, keeping the poison trapped until he had already finished.
