You have eaten at a Mexican food restaurant where the tortilla chips served with the salsa are warm and fresh.

Everyone knows that salsa tastes better when served on a warm chip. Cheese dip tastes better when served on a warm chip. Guacamole tastes better served on a warm chip. The beer that you wash the chip down with tastes better if the chip was warm.
