So Pithy

Something I just don’t understand: warm drinks. Germans have no problem with room-temperature orange juice, water, etc. Milk goes in the fridge only after it’s been opened (not that I drink milk that often, but I still like it cold in my cereal.) It’s the sort of thing I only notice when I’m visiting somewhere, and I have to wonder why it’s the case. Perhaps due to the smaller refrigerators Germans tend to have?
