Iced Coffee

It's too hot here... luckily I bought a coffee maker and I've been drinking a lot of iced coffee. They say coffee keeps your body temperature lower and keeps your brain working. The only problem is that it might also turn my teeth brown. Apparently iced coffee was popular in Japan before it got popular in the US. When I think back on my childhood, I never saw people drinking iced coffee. It's pretty big now though!
