I don't agree.

It's early afternoon and you're on the front end of a 48 hour work trip. You just got off a plane in Cedar Rapids, found a rental car, and drove to the hotel. You've been traveling since 7:00am, the water bottle that you refilled at the connection in Chicago and again at the destination in Cedar Rapids is both disgustingly warm and mostly empty. The rental car was hot as fuck because it's Cedar Rapids in July and the rental cars are sitting in an open lot rather than a garage.

Let's Zork this out.

You need to cool down and rehydrate. Do you: a) buy a single use refrigerated bottle of water b) remember that there's a fridge in the room and wait for 2 hours c) go east d) get yourself some bucket ice and tap water

Side quest pro-tip: do not pick up the metal bar

C, provided east is the local grocery store:

Get one cold beverage from the refrigerated section, drink it while getting something hot (I like the chicken fingers and potato wedges all grocery stores seem to have)
Get a 6-pack of something tasty (I like fancy root beer)
Drink cold one on the way back
Put ice on bucket (nobody should be consuming the I've directly) and a couple bottles in the ice, and the rest in the mini fridge
Poop and shower
Enjoy what's left of your evening with the frosty root beers and hopefully still-warm chicken and wedges

I bring my Steam Deck along with me, so I'd much rather stay in with my chicken fingers and soda than meet up with people I probably don't like much anyway.
