Like if there is a hot liquid in there how does it know to keep it hot? if these is a cold liquid in there how does it know to keep it cold? Thermoses are smart.

Each thermos has the soul of a Chinese child inside it. That's why Chinese people are only allowed to keep one kid. They're contractually obligated to give all their excess kids to Thermos Corp.

A thermos is a container that is used to keep items—usually food or drinks—hot or cold over a period of time. The principle involved is to surround a container with material that is a good thermal insulator, which will not conduct heat or cold. A unique way of keeping material its original temperature is to use a vacuum as an insulator.

This brings to mind my very favorite Aggie joke:

An Aggie and a Clemson Tiger were working at the construction site and it's lunchtime. The Clemson Tiger pulls out his sandwich, and a thermos. The Aggie asks, "What's that?" The Clemson Tiger replies, "It's a Thermos. It keeps hot things hot and cold things cold."

The Aggie thinks this is a great idea, so the next day he shows up at lunch time with his new Thermos and there's a Longhorn there. He asks, "What's that?" and the Aggie says, "It's a Thermos. It keeps hot things hot and cold things cold." The Longhorn asks, "What you got in there?" to which the Aggie replies, "Soup, and Ice Cream!"

the thermos has temperature sensors

if the original item is cold then it switches to cold mode

if its hot, it switches to hot mode

The point is that it doesn't conduct heat or cold and thereby can keep it at the original temp. Is this too much for your little pea brain to comprehend??

The Aggie meets different people each day. You need the second character to not know what a thermos is, see?
