How does styrofoam keep things cool?
Styrofoam is a good insulator because it is made up of 95% air. This trapped air prevents the transfer of heat energy, keeping things cool by slowing down the rate of heat transfer from the environment to the contents inside the Styrofoam container.

What materials stick to styrofoam?
Materials that commonly stick to styrofoam include hot glue, certain types of adhesives specifically designed for styrofoam, and some types of paints and coatings.
What keeps things colder aluminum foil or Styrofoam?
Styrofoam is better at insulating and maintaining temperatures than aluminum foil. Styrofoam has low thermal conductivity, meaning it doesn't easily transfer heat, while aluminum foil is a good conductor of heat, allowing it to quickly reach the same temperature as its surroundings. This makes Styrofoam better at keeping things cold for longer periods of time.
What is the function of Styrofoam containers?
To contain things. The Styrofoam is an insulator so it will also tend to maintain the temperature of the thing it contains for a time. Thus if the thing contained in a hot liquid, one would be able to hold the container comfortably.
