Get the Antifresh mug.Any substance which is a solute that lowers the freezing point of a solvent. Water(Hydrogen oxide) is the usual solvent. The solute is usually sodium chloride, calcium chloride, ethylene glycol(toxic), propylene glycol(non-toxic, safe), 1,2-Butyleneglycol(nontoxic) glycerol(nontoxic), ethanol, and a tick protein called IAFGP. Ticks have a protein called IAFGP that is triggered during winter months, which protects them from the cold. The freezing point of the solution gets lowered. Freezing point depression is a colligative property.
I put propylene glycol antifreeze in my car and it resisted freezing in the winter. The dog accidentally drank some propylene glycol but turned out fine. If it would have been ethylene glycol, the dog would have died.

A gene that allows ticks to produce an antifreeze protein to resist frostbite and lower the freezing point of blood. The ticks have a protein called IAFGP that is triggered during winter months, which protects them from the cold. Mice that were injected with the protein were able to not get frostbite at subzero temperatures. They then genetically engineered the mice and breed them to have babies with the gene and they produced the antifreeze protein, IAFGP. The mice resists frostbite. One day, some humans could genetically engineer themselves with the antifreeze tick gene. That way, there's no more frostbite at subzero temperatures(below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, 0 degrees Celsius) until much lower temperatures(like 5 degrees Fahrenheit, -15 degrees Celsius or something). Eventually, the technology will be affordable to all.
Tyler: I just genetically engineered myself with the antifreeze tick gene. Now I don't have to worry about frostbite.

Get the Antifreeze tick gene mug.Antifreeze is that greenish yellow liquid your dad puts in the car. It's ethylene glycol. It keeps the car's cooling engine from freezing. It's done in cold places and it's a tradition that goes from generation to generation. Don't drink it though, or you'll die. It's sweet tasting, but deadly toxic if you drink it.
You: Dad? What's that yucky green stuff you're putting in the car?
Dad: That's antifreeze! Someday you'll follow in my footsteps and winter-proof your car engine.
