The parable of the water bottles

I went to my car this morning and there was a water sitting by itself in the cup holder next to the driver's seat. Since it was only 4 degrees outside, it was solid ice and could only be used to kill small rodents. However, behind the seats I had a package of 24 other water bottles - same size and same conditions as the water bottle by the drivers seat, however, since they were together in a bundle, the ice inside the bottle was thin and with very little effort, was drinkable.

Last summer, the water bottle next to the driver's seat was hot and horrible to taste. However, again the water in the bundle, although not exactly wonderful, was refreshing enough on a hot day.
