Fiance pointed me to this article in the Baltimore Sun on the connection between feeling warm and how you judge other people:
To their surprise, they found that people who held a cup of hot coffee for 10 to 25 seconds warmed to a perfect stranger. Holding a cup of iced coffee had the opposite effect.
If you want to make a good impression, advised study author Lawrence E. Williams, a University of Colorado at Boulder assistant professor of marketing, a fresh cup of coffee "may bias the situation in your favor."
Interesting. Also I think this hypothesis was anticipated a few years agoby the Grand Theft Auto series.
