The graph shows that the temperature of the drink starts at room temperature (70 degrees), decreases rapidly in the first few minutes in the freezer, and then slowly decreases until it reaches a plateau around 20 degrees. However, since the drink is left on the counter after being in the freezer, the temperature of the drink will increase back towards room temperature. Therefore, the temperature in the kitchen will be around 70 degrees.
