Does blowing on our hot food before we put it into our mouths actually make a difference to how hot it is?

There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.

Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐.
Yes, it does. By blowing over it, you evaporate some of its water, which cools it down. See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy_of_vaporization
Thank you.
I think I saw a show 20 or so years ago that tried to debunk this and obviously either they messed up, or I wasn't paying attention.
(The show was called Brainiac).
You've been unclear on a fundamental concept of basic physics for ~20 years? Because a TV show said so? ๐ถ
I mean it was called Brainiac and it did have John Tickle walking on top of a pool of custard. Are you suggesting I was wrong to use that as my foundation for all knowledge??
Nothing to see here. Carry on, citizen. we're so fucked as a species
