Thermos bottles are generally used to keep liquid from changing temperature for a longer period of time. Usually, one pours hot liquid into the bottle, and it will remain warm for longer, but they are also effective at keeping cold liquid cool.
Silver is a great heat and light reflector. That means if you store cold water in a thermos, the heat from outside cannot get into the thermos easily because the heat is reflected by the silver color of the thermos.
you tell me if you fill a thermos with hot soup or hot chocolate put the lid on and then touch it is it hot or cold. odds are it is warm so it is hard to say. but the thermos is an insulator
The primary function of a thermos flask is to keep liquids hot or cold. There is an outer protective layer with a hollow area inside before the actual area where the liquid is stored. Heat or cold gets trapped in the hollow area and that is what keeps a liquid hot or cold.
The rate of heat flow across a boundary such as the vacuum between the inside of the thermos flask and the ambient atmosphere is proportional to the temperature difference. So if you have hot water inside at say 90 C and an ambient of 30 C that is a difference of 60 C, whilst if you have cold water inside at 10 C the difference is 20 C. The heat flow will therefore be three times as much for the hot water as for the cold water, so the rate of change of temperature will be three times greater.

Yes, it can also keep things cold.
Long Johns for pants thermos but I dont know what the shirts are called.
a thermos?
A thermos is only good because of the material it is made with. A thicker material will keep whatever is inside cold or warm longer.
Some thermos bottles advertised as good for 24 hours because they are better insulated. They also permit expansion due to heat.
A thermos will generally keep either a hot item hot or a cold item cold. you can use them for things like cold drinks, soup, hot chocolate, or pretty much any liquid you want to keep the same temperature.

A vacuum flask keeps hot things hot & cold things cold. Just how it tells the difference is one of the mysteries of the scientific world !
my thermos was full with ice cold water.
To keep hot liquids hot and cold liquids cold by minimizing heat transfer between the inside of the thermos with the outside.
Answer:Yes! Any hot or cold food/beverage can be placed in a thermos. Might be a little problem getting it all out if the neck opening is really narrow though, but some thermos's are made just for soups and things like this.
