Perhaps your guests just arrived and you forgot to put beer in the fridge. Or, maybe you just got a phone call and your hair appointment on Thursday has been canceled  Either way, you need cold drinks, stat. This secret will chill your drinks in 5 minutes flat.

1. Half fill a container with your drinks.
2. Fill the remaining space with ice.
3. Add salt and stir for 30 seconds.
4. In 4.5 minutes you’ve got cold drinks.

The salt speeds the melting of the ice. The melting ice absorbs heat from the drinks which in turn makes the drinks get colder.

Here’s a little demo from down under with a fancy thermometer:
