Good advice, however not completely true for me.  I just put a 2-liter
bottle of freshly-made sunshine tea (about 75 degrees F or so) into my
empty, pre-chilled fridge. (It had been running on 110v for about 2 hours).
I then took a 5 hour drive.  About an hour and a half into the drive, I was
able to drink cool tea from the 2-liter bottle.  After about 3 hours (total)
the tea was nice and cold!

God I love having a Westy!
