I chose this topic because whenever you get home from grocery shopping, your drinks are not icy cold, they are room temperature. So, you have to put them in the fridge for a long time before they get cold.
Oops, I totally misread the question. That's embarrassing. The correct answer is Perceptual Contrast Effect. The coffee and soda are both the same temperature, but the coffee seems colder because we're used to having it hot. The soda seems warmer because we're used to having it cold. If you put one hand in cold water and the other in hot water at the same time and hold them there for a minute, and then you put both hands into room temperature water, you'll feel how this works - and it can be a pretty strange sensation.

I was sitting here at my desk sipping on a mug of room temperature Polar lemon flavored seltzer and got to wondering, how many others out there don't mind, or even prefer, their soda not to be cold. Yes, most soda is really nasty when drunk warm, but there a couple of flavors that hold up when warm.
More often than not I drink the aforementioned seltzer at room temperature, and it's not too bad. Likewise, Mountain Dew is good cold but also is still quite palatable when it gets warm.
A few years back I had a girlfriend who not only kept her opened bottle of Dr. Pepper on the pantry shelf, but would warm it up in a saucepan on the stove, and drink it with a slice of lemon. It wasn't too bad. So what soda do you drink warm? Does it matter what brand? (Say, for example, warm Pepsi is fine, but warm Coke is vile.) And are there any brands or flavors you prefer warm rather than cold? In our inaugural episode of CHOW-TO, Guillermo learns with Chef Jimmy Ly of Madame Vo in New York City.

Bun Bo Hue is the second most popular traditional Vietnamese soup after Pho, this one originating in the city of Hue in Central Vietnam (translated to English Bun means noodles, and Bo means beef). It is a dish famous for its balance of acidity, spice, and umami flavors. This particular iteration is inspired by Southern Vietnam, and is spicy and rich in color and flavor.
