Any of you ever craved a nice glass of ice cold water?

And not after any strenuous physical activity?

Because I just did. God, I'm going to kill our brita filter tonight. I hope water isn't fattening.

I once craved it after eating a bunch of salt and vinegar chips and then immediately seeing this post...
 
Yes I did. These hot California days do that to you. Although this week is not looking as bad as last week.

I wouldn't count on it. One study showed your cholesterol can increase just from chewing nonfat cream cheese and spitting it out.
 
This is silly, all Penguins crave cold water, or... they wouldn't be penguins...
