Frío
Una amiga Peruana estaba hablando de los cereales. Ella dice que si no se sella la bolsa, los cereales se quedan "frío" (¿o "fríos"?). Ella dice que la palabra "frío" significa tanto "cold" o "stale" en inglés. ¿Esto es un uso regional?

Si porque en España, frío only means cold.

Sí, sabía que significa "cold". Pero, no sabía que significa "stale".

It must be a regional use.

Frío = Cold
Rancio = Stale

Si no se cierra la bolsa del cereal, se arrancia (se pone rancio).

Mysteriously, unless it's just dialect, English uses the perfect tense here: First time I've heard that.

It like here Cold is only cold.

When the food is cold then you should warm up it.

Thanks, all, for the input. Regionalism it is, then!

By the way - in my original sentence, would it be frío or fríos?
