It's pretty simple. Liquid expands below freeze point. If there is room in the container for the expansion, no explode. If not, you will get a deformation, leak, or explode.

This is why water pipes burst in very cold weather.. When the water is pressurized, the pipe is completely full of water, so there is no room for expansion (and no give to the pipe).

How can a liquid expand below freezing point? Shouldn't it just freeze and remain in the form that it was prior to freezing? I'm guessing it has something to do with the carbon dioxide?

cans & bottles both.

Most were over an hour, but I seem to remember as little as 40 minutes. I'm super forgetful, but I do like my beer cold.

Sometimes I catch 'em in time and get away with a beer or soda slurpee.

You must have a freezer that super freezes then. :lol: I normally leave me cans in the freezer for 45-60 minutes and they are nice and freezing cold. Anything longer than that and the contents start to freeze. If it's a plastic bottle of soda I usually leave it in for about 2 hours to get the same cold taste that I get from the cans.

The only "explosion" I've ever had is when I've left them in for too long and the contents started to freeze. When I open them and the frozen portions fall into the liquid portion then I get the same effect as if I had just shaken the can/bottle and opened it right away.

I think the key is that I put them with the ice from the ice maker. Super cold is delicious. :-o

And as noted above, makes it super expand.

That's what I do as well, and I have yet to have any explode, or even deform. I had a 710ml bottle of Orange Crush in the icebox today, which was filled with ice, for 2 hours and still nothing. It was nice and freezing cold, but no deformation or explosion had taken place.

Yeah but you live in Canada. Science doesn't work there.

:lol: Maybe it's because we're so used to the cold that even our soda/beer isn't affected by it at the same level. Two hours in the freezer and it hadn't even started to freeze yet. Soda was like "Bitch please! You call this cold." :lol:

Nope. It's a hotlink issue, you'll need to try a different one. Clear your cache and you'll see it disappear.
