Had A 12-Pack Of Coke Zero In The Freezer For Over 12 Hours And It Didn't Explode

[Little Red Wagon Repairman]

I should stop doing this. I want to get a 12-pack of soda cold knowing I only have a few cold ones left before running out. I put the new 12-pack in the freezer to get it colder quicker. Ended up not needing the extra sodas but realized what I did when I woke up this morning. Everything is fine and I'm drinking a very cold soda right now. Still shouldn't do that again.

Anyone have an estimate how long it would take a 12-pack of sodas to explode in a freezer if they were still in the cardboard case? My refrigerator/freezer is a less than a year old Frigidaire.

The next time you want cold-in-a-hurry, ice cubes, water, tupperware container. Invest in a few more ice trays if needed and keep them full. Or pay the dollar for a bag of ice when you're at the store. The soda will get cold quicker and you'll be explosion proof.

I like the sound a soda pop can makes exploding in your freezer especially in the middle of the night. It's that weird distant boom sound like a howitzer being fired. I imagine a 12-pack going off in succession would sound like WWIII breaking out.

Defrosted coke tastes awful!

Invest in an Icee machine.

I would be worried about my freezer if they didn't explode after that long.

Isn't that why the bottom of the cans are concave? The built up pressure pushes the bottom out.

Adding salt to your ice cubes lowers the temperature thus making your fizz cool quicker.

Well, there's your solution...put salty ice cubes in your Coke.

I'll bet he doesn't notice any difference in the taste.
BJB is correct...you get a bit of help from the pop out can parts.

You put the can in a bowl of salty ice cubes...... I thought that was obvious. Still if you want to take the dumbass take on it you are more than welcome to.

Well, since you posted it, no other way to take it.

I disagree. You never thought your response through as the post is clearly about the cooling of soda cans. Get back to your set of crayons and padded cell.

OK, I usually don't engage too much with the impaired, not in Talk, but I'll share this once.
The silliness of the post lies in the simple fact that, to get a warm can cold, ice cubes with salt added is beyond silly...just put the warm can in the refrigerator and let it cool. Right under the freezer is a cold area, etc.

Since most regular folks put ice cubes in the drink to cool it, you 1st post was dumber than dirt...as per usual. No mention of floating in a bowl with salty cubes, etc.
Now go back to yelling at your stuffed animals.

If you want to ignore the world of science do so at your pleasure. I'm just making suggestions to the original thread. Remember your crayons are for sketching purposes not for poking back your turtles head.

Good thing that didn't happen. I woulda been high as a kite hearing it then throw rounds all over the house.

Smart fella there. You're probably right. I always though the bulging was a nuisance not being able to balance a can on the table but I guess it's better than the alternative.

Salty ice cubes works for a few cans or bottles but not a whole case.

Wrap wet paper towels around individual cans or bottles to cool them in 15 minutes.

I don't think Dino needs any tips to cool his drinks. All he has to do is put them in the fridge and he'll forget about them.
