Jesus crist! Cold ones aren't beer!

Okay... the page throughly explains the nature of the beverage. I'm curious to hear what your theory is. -- Tom 09:12, 19 Dec 2004 (MST)

That Cold Ones are soda. HR is a site for all ages!

It may be a site for all ages, but there have been many implications that Cold Ones (and Soy Sauce) are intoxicants.

Please stop deleting all references to alcohol on this Wiki. -- FortyTwo

H*R clearly references alcohol in Decemberween Kids' Book. And in for kids, Kerrek doesn't accpet Strong Bad's offer of a Cold One because he's teetotal, which proves it's alcohol. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

My Conclusion

Personally, I don't believe Cold Ones are beer. I think Strong Beer is a reference to Root Beer. Also Cold One is a slang word for soda English people use. The martinis in Decemberween Kids' Book are not negetivly references because no one is drinking it. And in the Everybody to the limit and the email montage when Strongbad is holding a glass of wine, he really isn't because The Cheat just made a poorly drawn flash movie and Strong Bad was imagining him in love with the wagon fulla pancakes.

I always took the use of the word "alcoholic" on the label to mean it was beer. Seems pretty straight forward to me. And did you read the part about the Kerrek refusing a Cold One because he is a teetotaller? -- Tom 13:09, 24 Dec 2004 (MST)

That's not even the real Cold One bottle label.

Mmm hmm. But have you read the whole thing? See for yourself: Homestar Runner and Strong Bad Screensaver. -- Tom 20:16, 27 Dec 2004 (MST)

I understand the initial hesitation to declare Cold Ones as Beer, but the evidence is sufficient for us to drop the pretence. "Cold One" is a euphemism for beer, and was used by TBC to keep the site "a site for all ages". In my grade-6 class someone had written a western short story to be put on the wall before parent teacher night. In this story he used the word "beer", and the teacher was concerned that the parents may wonder what sort of class he was running, so he suggested that the guy change it to "Cold One". - Dr Haggis - Talk 20:56, 3 Jan 2005 (MST)

This must be an American thing... in Australia, "beer" isn't some kind of terrible taboo. Cold Ones are clearly beer. The business about warm or room temperature Cold Ones is directly mirrored by beer in the real world. Oven warmed soda?!... Get over it already; Cold Ones = Beer. Real Beer. Geez! - SoulSkorpion (soulskorpionATiinetDOTnetDOTau).

I'm pretty sure The Cheat made the boat scene in montage. Yeah... not at all. →[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]

Cold None?

Say huh-wha?! Where does this come from?-Lord Pikachon

The email. See the transcript. -- Tom 19:22, 14 Jan 2005 (MST)

Alcohol

Uhmm the screensaver says premium alcholic coldones. Parents drink beer, it can still be a family site

Not so cold ones

Isn't a not so cold one 90 degrees? if so, you can't hold it without a glove or it will burn your hand, no matter which scale you use, Farenheit, Celsius, or Kelvin won't work.

90 degrees Fahrenheit isn't anywhere near that hot... --Jay (Talk) 17:53, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

If that were true, then everyone in Florida would be dead from going out in the 90 degree (Fahrenheit) heat... Aurora the Homestar Coder 17:58, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Especially funny when one considers that average body temperature is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit... We'd be burning OURSELVES! --Jay (Talk) 18:03, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Okay, I'm not talking out of experience, but have you tried holding a glass that is 30 °C? It's hot.

Actually, Kvb does have a point. The 90°F liquid in the not-so-cold one would warm the glass up to aneven higher temperature, and since touching a hot something physically hurts more than air at the same temperature, the glass would get rather hot to handle. Most hot-chocolate/coffee is actually only 70°F when someone goes to drink it, and feel how hot that drink nwould make a mug. -- _{Posted by:} -erson ^Talk 18:13, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
