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.

Why does thermos bottles advertised as good for 24 hours while others are claimed to be able to keep liquids hot or cold for 48 hours?

The claim of 24 hours versus 48 hours typically depends on the insulation quality and thickness of the materials used in the thermos bottle. Thicker insulation and higher-quality materials can help a bottle retain temperature for a longer period. Different designs and technologies might also impact how long a bottle can keep liquids hot or cold.


Where was the thermos derived from?
