of the cooler so the soda? some friends are arguing about whether or not they should pou melted ice water out of the cooler so the soda cans stay cooler. Knowing what you do about the specific heat of air and waer, settle the argument
 
Leave the water in the cooler with the soda. That will keep it cooler for longer as the water insulates the cans, keeping them cool. Also, water loses its heat a lot slower than air due to its molecular structure, so will keep the soda cool all day :)
