Why you should Never Leave your Gym Bag in the Car Overnight when the Low Temperature is Colder than Minus Ten

1. Your shampoo will freeze solid. If you're lucky, you'll have a small bottle with a tiny bit left in it, which you can then thaw by adding a bit of hot water. It will still be cold, but, at least, it will come out of the bottle.

2. If your towel was just the slightest bit wet, it will freeze into a solid board. If you're lucky, you'll be able to thaw it by putting it on the hand / hair dryer provided by your gym.

3. The soap will be very, very cold. In fact, it will be rather like an ice cube. Fortunately, it will warm up pretty quickly in the shower.

3. Deodorant. Erk. You can't run hot water over it . . . it will melt if you put it on the hair dryer . . . it will become mushy if you take it in the shower. You'll just have to bear it, which is not--in any way--pleasant. B.r.r.r.r.r.r.

4. You'll have to wait to brush your teeth until later. Frozen toothpaste simply will not come out of the tube.

I'm sure there are additional reasons, but I'm too cold to consider them at present.
