Rog, not for the first time, you've changed my life, but I think I'll pass on the ice deal.
What's with no mention of Ap State?

I don't care about the Univ. of Michigan, so getting whipped by Ap. State holds no significance for me.

Noway, nohow. Optical illusion - it's taking place in a freezer with time-lapse filming. If that much energy were removed from the water that quickly, the thermal shock would shatter the glass and probably ignite the air (e.g. cause a fireball) or the table.
Raising the temp of one gallon of water one degree F requires 2100 calories. Inverse is true, as well. Now assuming room temp is 70, dropping 1/10th gallon by ~35 degrees is a movement of approx 7350 calories over a time span of one second!
IIRC, it only takes 50 calories per cm/sq/sec to ignite wood, paper, fabric, and many plastics.
Now here's an interesting idea: Drinking ice water burns calories because your body must reheat itself. (Don't get too excited, we're only talking about 100 calories/gallon.)
Who ever said thermodynamics and physics aren't fun?

And as far as the chip folding origami -- Bah. I just fold over the end & put a bottle of Maker's Mark on top to hold it closed.
Is this the same guy who made the "fold a shirt in 3 seconds" video?

Dr. Egon Spengler: It would be bad.
Dr. Peter Venkman: I'm a little fuzzy on the whole "good/bad" thing here! What do you mean "bad"?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.
Dr. Ray Stantz: Total protonic reversal!
Dr. Peter Venkman: That's bad. Okay. All right, important safety tip, thanks Egon.

Boazo,
You're not going to get me to try this. It won't work. Now cut it out.
