Definitely the best parts

Did anyone else learn awfully late in life that highlighters were originally the colors they were because they dont show up in photocopies. I now think the CIA didn't yet and were just using regular kids coloring markers all this time.

Why are Japanese cars considered to be more reliable than US or European cars?

There is a long and very simple history here. Japan had an entirely different assembly process from the US when they started making cars and simply were at first universally more reliable than all American cars, by huge margins too, for many decades. This is not as true as it used to be but still holds in some cases and has been true for so long that it is accepted as true.

Probably a stupid question, but will we ever have something like a microwave to make things cold? Is there a reason this can't exist?

Technically not by convection because that is the movement of fluid to transfer heat in and out of something, like air conditioning. The bath is not a moving fluid it is a simple constant temperature. The spinning moves the fluid inside the can so more of it touches the aluminum wall, which is being cooled by conduction with the ice bath.
