Yeah, something can not get colder if you're supplying heat.

oh! i see

well, what about substances that are generally very cold in room temperature, or if you put them in the freezer they will take a looong time to melt when in contact with a hotter environment?

im refering to substances that are also readily available in stores, although i really dont mind explanations for typical elements etc.

Try dry ice (solid carbon dioxide).
