I'm soon gonna dash off and buy this:

Now I'm not completely satisfied with the temperature they get in the fridge, so I'm just wondering if you can put these bottles in the freezer?
I have no ice cubes or anything, so I can't use ice in order to cool it.
Depending on how long you leave them there, how full the bottle is and how tight the lid is, they will pop.
Ice takes more volume than soda so if you manage to leave it long enough that a sizable part of the liquid converts to ice it will force the lid open until it pops.
1/2 hour to an hour should be enough to chill it safely, then move it to the regular refrigerator to avoid getting a soda explosion on your freezer
I wanted a Cherryade icecube and it ended up exploding all over the freezer. If you leave it in the Freezer for 20 or so minutes, it'll be very chilled. :)
You could make ice cubes in the time it would take for the Coke to be near-frozen anyway.
If you adjust the temperature of the fridge you can get it near freezing without actually risking freezing it and having it pop should you forget it. It just takes a bit longer.
Don't put it in the freezer, the pressure of the gas will get much higher in the freezer, and they eventually explode. And having to scrape frozen Coca Cola off of all the food and walls of the freezer is no fun.
Yeah, you can keep bottles in the freezer, but only for as long before it explodes on you. However, it's recommended that you DON'T store them in the freezer.
Is say if you had a bottle of pepsi (Nice and fizzy) and it was warm (:eek:)
then put it in a freezer for 10-20 min. As the other Part of it a bit slow in cooling. but don't put it in too long tough, or
KA-BAM!!!!
It will explode. Which will make you go like this :mad2:, this :eek:,:eep: or this :crying: Either way, you won't like it.
fun fact: the freezing point of coke is lower than water!
I like to chill Bawls for about twenty minutes; long enough to get little icicles in it, but it's drinkable (and delicious) that is for 10.5 oz.A 20oz (little less than a liter) coke would probably be safe for half an hour or even forty minutes.
LOL I forgot that Colligative properties (such as freezing point depression!) disregard volume! Check it if you freeze it.
I never had any explosions putting coca-cola or pepsi in the freezer! :confused: ...It's just takes too long to unfreeze it (if you leave it for too long, like for a day :riiight:) coz you can't actually drink it...
Of course you can put them in there. Unless you have a freakishly tiny frizzer.
Just buy an icecube tray. :P
You can try putting coke in it instead of water. Then just add those coke-cubes to your refrigerated coke to cool it off without watering it down (yuck).
Or, if you have plastic bottles, open one and pour a little bit of the coke out and squeeze the bottle until the coke-level inside is just below the overflowing out the neck. Then you can freeze it and the plastic will have more lee-way to expand when the soda freezes and expands.
-If that didn't make sense, it doesn't matter. You can't even drink solid coke from a bottle anyway. :P
In my family’s holiday home up north (north, at least, from the place the family is usually located), I found an (unopened, glass) bottle of Coca Cola from 1994. I had no idea how long it had actually been in the freezer, but I didn’t risk dealing with it (I left the bottle out and paid someone else to drink it)
You could pour coke in a bowl then freeze it but i dont know what'll happen
The worst thing that could happen would be the bowl running over and Peter_20 cleaning his freezer.Quote:

And there's nothing better than ripping the ice-chunks of your freezer's walls.Quote:

For one terrible second I thought it was an insane gunman in our lodge, then I realised it was the soda bottle blowing up because of the expanding frozen liquid, and compressed gas. A lesson well learnt! :DQuote:

I tried that once, all the ice cubes got stuck to the top of the freezer :(Quote:

I made ice cubes out of fanta once. They were like popcicles!
I remember when my brother or sister made dr. pepper ice a long time ago. It takes more coldness to freeze though, so they usually end up kinda mushy and don't set up too well :(
Do you guys remember the old 2-liter bottles with those black bases?
Those things were weird.
Welcome to 5th grade science, Peter. No, you cannot store a bottle of Coke in the freezer. At least not for longer than an hour.
did you do a lab on this recently, shlup?
As long as it was frozen solid the whole time it should have been fine.Quote:

The only way you could store coke in the freezer is if it isn't a full bottle. If the bottle is only about 2/3 full it's fine. I found this out from making ice bottles to take into school during the summer.
Who's tasting?Quote:

You can store plastic bottles full of liquid there though, because those bottles are slightly flexible. Glass however, would shatter, and cans would probably pop too.
I've never found a bottle to explode in the freezer no matter how long I've left it in there, aslong as it wasn't completely full.
i'll third that it taste like crap ewwwQuote:
