I have the solution for global warming

All we have to do is collect all the extra ice from Wendy's beverages and send it to the arctic.

Seriously, 5 lbs of ice and 1 oz of pop. What am I, a polar bear?

I think it'll work.

Ice Diet

Melting one pound of ice requires input of 143 Btu of energy. To raise the temperature of the melted water from 32°F to 98°F takes another 66 Btu/lb, for a total of about 210 Btu per pound of ice. 1 Btu ~ 250 calories*.

Therefore, eating the ice will help you lose weight, as your body must generate that energy through conversion of fat to energy to maintain your body temperature.

So, (250 little-c-calories) times (210 Btu) divided by 1000 = 52.5 regular food Calories per pound of ice I crunch? That's not bad, but I'd kind of hoped for a little more for my efforts. Maybe the chewing burns off some calories too?

I wonder how many pounds of ice you would need to eat to offset a double with cheese, large fries and a frosty.
