Here's how it works: the space between the inner and outer flask wall is evacuated, creating a vacuum (well, a partial vacuum anyway...). In order for heat transfer to take place from the outside world into your cold drink, or from your hot drink to the outside world, it needs nearby molecules to excite. If there aren't many molecules nearby, as is the case in a vacuum, the heat's energy can't easily be passed along, so your drink stays close to the temperature it was when you put it into the flask for a really long time.
Simply stated, vacuums make great thermal insulation!

Great notebook!
I love the design of the front and back cover (such a pretty blue!), and I like that the notebook lays flat.

Cool tool for fool fuel
Saw a few similar items from other sources, but this was the only one I could find in a smaller size. Looks great, seems to be well crafted. Vigilare.

Continued support
I have and will continue to make purchases from cognitive surplus. Affordable and quality, and that’s hard to come buy now a days. I’ve bought myself, sister, sister in law, and two friends gifts form cognitive surplus. I plan to do my mom’s Mother’s Day shopping here!
