I know my limitations so as a rule I always set an alarm on my phone whenever I put a drink in the freezer
This works, as long as you act on hearing the alarm immediately. Do not just turn it off and think “I’ll do it in a minute”.
One can of pop exploding in there was enough to traumatize me into never forgetting again.
I’ve been traumatized into “never forgetting again” two or three times now.
I think every time I switch freezers, I have to learn the lesson again. Maybe the vision of the particular freezer I’m using splattered in gooey cola tar is enough reminder, but with a different freezer, the trauma is no longer with it.
That’s when you hit snooze.
Soda goes 💥
A room temperature can of full sugar soda takes at most 2 hours to chill in a 0 °F freezer. A refrigerated can of full sugar soda takes about 45 minutes to get to just above freezing (the perfect temperature for Dr Pepper consumption).
Diet sodas take about half the time in both scenarios.
This is for 12oz cans.
I’ve got it down to a science.
TIL I learned that 0 °F is the temperature of a freezer (it’s -18 in Celsius). I wonder if there’s a scientific reason for it to be -18 or if it’s just arbitrary so it’s 0 in Fahrenheit.
I am literally saving this comment. For science appreciation and not because I have exploded sooooo many cans in my freezer.
But what about the BEER?!?!
I put my steel water bottle in the freezer once… I don’t have a steel water bottle anymore.
Set a timer on your phone.
Laundry? Set a timer on your phone.
puts Coke in freezer for a few hours
The Coke when I remember it next week:
Don’t put glass bottles in there. I did that once and forgot. The next day I heard a loud explosion. Went to open the feeezer and glass was falling out.
I had an aluminum can explode the same way.
at least it didn’t happen at night and wake you up, that would have terrified me
It terrified me none the less and embarrassed me. I wasn’t even the person who wanted to drink that beer.
I pulled out a wine grenade that blew up in my hands the other day. Big mess and some how missed a shard I found days later.
Wrap the can in a wet paper towel. It’ll get cold much faster that way, possibly before you forget it’s in there.
You overestimate my memory
Honestly, it doesn’t work well enough for the trouble.
more like me when i get woken up by a loud bang sound from the kitchen.
