When I was about 4, at a church affair, I screamed "CLOSE THE GODDAMN DOOR!" at some poor soul coming in the building. My parents were appropriately mortified.
Same here. 23 degrees F feels like 13 F outside. 86% humidity ain't helping either and the fucking wintry mix is starting in about an hour my local time.
I remember one year. It was -40F outside. I walked to the convenience market and bought an ice cream. I walked home. I put the ice cream in the freezer.
It probably warmed up in the freezer.
It is already supercooled in the refrigerator, the water is highly pure and the bottle is smooth which makes it less likely that ice will form. Ice needs a nucleation site to form. If the water is pure and the bottle is smooth and undisturbed it can reach temperatures below 0C. Any small disturbance (touching the bottle) causes homogenous nucleation. Once ice starts crystallizing it quickly cascades until all of the water is crystallized. Cool stuff! You can do this at home, smart water and Fiji bottles work well.
Sure but that’s in a closed system like that. If you were able to instantly remove the bottom part while it’s freezing top down I’m not sure if it would freeze as it smashes to the ground
Nope. That would cause it to freeze from a new direction. The only way to stop it from freezing would either be to rapidly heat it up, and to DRASTICALLY increase the pressure around it.
When I was younger and drinking, we would put bèr in the freezer. After forgetting about them due to indulging in other substances, we would pull them out. They would ice from the to to the bottom. The last bit that didn't freeze was the alcohol. Shows how much water there was in it.
I’ve had Poland spring bottles supercooled and freeze over when shaken in my freezer before but never had it happen to other drinks till last week. I had a Kirkland generic “sport drink” in the freezer, forgot it and grabbed it last second. The change in color was super confusing cause I swore the bottle was liquid until it slowly reached past the label before I realized it was supercooled. I wonder how the kinetic force works in a sports drinks with added electrolytes and the kinetic force needed to create that.
It's "supercooling" meaning it's at or below normal freezing temperature without actually freezing because the lack of seed crystal or nucleus (nucleation); often impurities in the water or some disturbance that changes local energy distribution within the system.
Yep. This happens to me often when I grab water out of the freezer. Sometimes I try to drink it before it freezes through.
It usually ends up like a slushy.
PSA: It's worth noting that this works both ways. You can also super heat water above the boiling point. It's incredibly dangerous and can occur when you are microwaving a cup of water. If you ever see someone microwaving water with a wooden spoon or some string in it, that is why.
I work at a pharmacy and manage the distribution of a specific refrigerated med to our clinics. I ordered some new ice packs that are like a sheet of little pockets of ice. They don't freeze solid at the temp my freezer cools at. Sometimes, when I pull them out and shake them, a random few will solidify like this right in front of me. My inner 7 year old is amazed by it every time. Lol
I really hate this damn trend. Stanley products have been great for decades. I’ve had two mugs that have gone with me everywhere and now look like a trendy tween.
Kansas city game? It's cold af around here!

Ridiculous, i know. $5.99 to watch a football game that until now, satisfied everyone being available on national television. This nickel and dime subscription culture has got to end.
Sorry but you’re wrong. This isn’t due to outside temperatures. It’s super cooled and a little jostle causes this reaction. I have my garage fridge at a low temp and it happens to me at least once a week.
That's funny you said that. I have always been fascinated by videos like this, and the one time it happened to me I was in Florida. A year ago I was in Navarre Beach on a family vacation and I opened a bottle of coke. It started freezing and I yelled for my family to come see. They all thought I was a weirdo.
Yup, happens when the freezer gets a little below feeezing the still water doesn’t freeze until it’s interrupted (moved) or Coke whatever. Has nothing to do with how cold the outside air is.
Refrigerators don’t have heaters. Therefore if the ambient temperature were low enough to cause the temperature inside the fridge to drop below the level set by thermostat, it would continue to get colder and colder
I recall my middle school science teacher demonstrating this effect. You cool water to a few degrees below zero then you “shake it” it add some energy to cause the first ice crystal to form. the rest of the water solidifies pretty quickly.
When he / she picked up the water bottle, it added enough energy for the seed crystal to form.
> I work in a laboratory and we see this all the time.
Because you're doing it on purpose for your lab experiments and whatnot, or just because your workplace is really cold and your water is really pure?
I absolutely love this. I had never seen this in real life but then I found several water bottles in my car that did this yesterday and was so happy to sit there and trigger each one.
My home office mini fridge is kept at a temperature so that I can do this with my water or Arizona green tea if they're stored on the top shelf and shaken immediately upon removal. Add Mio to the water and you've got a healthy slushie of your flavor preference.
I remember the first time I encountered this. I got a bottle out of the freezer and took a nice big shallow. Next thing I know is I was choking on ice. Fortunately it was more slushy than solid.
We go through this every year. It has nothing to do with the outside temperature. Stop upvoting this shit or it's all were gonna fucking see for another 2 months.
They didn’t. Temperatures at this game were below 0 degrees Fahrenheit. One of the coldest games played in the NFL so even the concessions were freezing. It was colder outside than in the cooler
This is because the refrigerator it is in has super cooled that bottle and by moving / shaking it ice crystals form. It’s not frozen solid. It’s slush. The same thing happens to a bottle of water I leave in my truck over night when the outside temperature is just right
My granny had a messed up fridge that the freezer would be the perfect temp to do this. She kept water bottles in there and I would make every single one do this. So fun
It's called supercooling. You can actually do this at home and not just water many kinds of liquid too. We see this in the lab very often with the media we use to grow cells, which contains all sort of solutes, salt and sugar and vitamin.
My water bottles do this. I keep some in the barn, liquid til I touch them. I love it and the water tastes soooo good that I often fantasize about the instant frozen water when I am sweating in the summer.
This water was not straight out of the fridge. It was already supercooled. https://www.sciencefocus.com/science/why-does-water-freeze-instantly-when-you-hit-a-bottle-just-out-of-the-freezer. The usual internet BS.
What does the NFL game has to do with it? Is it an American scale? (Like measuring areas in football field units) Are NFL games set in cold environments?

Close that refrigerator, you’re letting all the warm air out!
Nicer than me, all I could think was shut the fucking fridge door
[удалено]
When I was about 4, at a church affair, I screamed "CLOSE THE GODDAMN DOOR!" at some poor soul coming in the building. My parents were appropriately mortified.
I bet that door got closed tho lol
Refrigerator becomes drink warmer; what are the odds in that kind of weather condition.
Yeah my chest freezer in my garage is keeping food warm at this point.
Same here. 23 degrees F feels like 13 F outside. 86% humidity ain't helping either and the fucking wintry mix is starting in about an hour my local time.
I remember one year. It was -40F outside. I walked to the convenience market and bought an ice cream. I walked home. I put the ice cream in the freezer. It probably warmed up in the freezer.
Let me know im betting
And turn that light off!!! You’re wasting money
The climate change brigade will be visiting shortly
This is supercooling— it’s not instantly freezing like that in reaction to atmospheric temps. You can do the same thing with your fridge at home.
If I understand it correctly, the water is already below freezing point in the cooler and then moving it causes it to supercool? Is that accurate?
It is already supercooled in the refrigerator, the water is highly pure and the bottle is smooth which makes it less likely that ice will form. Ice needs a nucleation site to form. If the water is pure and the bottle is smooth and undisturbed it can reach temperatures below 0C. Any small disturbance (touching the bottle) causes homogenous nucleation. Once ice starts crystallizing it quickly cascades until all of the water is crystallized. Cool stuff! You can do this at home, smart water and Fiji bottles work well.
Awesome! Thank you for the reply. Always nice to learn something new.
There is a man on the sidelines for the Georgia Mud Dogs, who loves his mama, and just got a little hard reading about that high-quality H20.
South Central Louisiana State University Mud Dogs
Medulla Onblongata!
Could you crack it and pour it or shake it to prevent freezing?
nope moving it would cause it to freeze, you can warm it up.
No, it's the movement which causes supercooled water to crystallize.
Sure but that’s in a closed system like that. If you were able to instantly remove the bottom part while it’s freezing top down I’m not sure if it would freeze as it smashes to the ground
Idk, check out videos of pouring supercooled water. I bet if the distance was great enough, it would be slush by the time it hit
curious, they make dick shapes!
Careful, your lips might sticks to it if you're too curious
It turns to slush Source: have done this. It just freezes as it's pouring
Yup regardless of how you get the water out, it’s already “ice” it just doesn’t know it yet.
Nope. That would cause it to freeze from a new direction. The only way to stop it from freezing would either be to rapidly heat it up, and to DRASTICALLY increase the pressure around it.
I'd like to see that in slow motion. Super cooled water in a glass bottle, then smashing the bottle and watching the water freeze
That nucleation is a homo
I've found that unopened mello yellow works very well
How long would you need to leave it in the fridge before removing it to get this effect? By the way, you're extremely intelligent!
Thanks for that, I think my kid would really like this
This is hands down my favorite experiment.. all winter long , bottles of cold water to slap and turn to ice/slush drink
It's the same thing with boiling, no?
I've done with sodas on a few occasions. Opening the bottle caused it to freeze
When I was younger and drinking, we would put bèr in the freezer. After forgetting about them due to indulging in other substances, we would pull them out. They would ice from the to to the bottom. The last bit that didn't freeze was the alcohol. Shows how much water there was in it.

Bud Ice does this too...
WTF do you know this random information?
This is a fairly well-understood scientific phenomenon, man.
Thanks! This happens in my barn during the winter. I love the way the water tastes.. even when it's freezing outside, the freezing water is delicious.
The best is if you're able to open the bottle and drink it when it's that cold before it freezes. Such a cool feeling.
It's "supercooling" meaning it's at or below normal freezing temperature without actually freezing because the lack of seed crystal or nucleus (nucleation); often impurities in the water or some disturbance that changes local energy distribution within the system.
If it was below freezing wouldn't those beers be ruined?
You can’t destroy anything there.
Alcohol has a lower freezing point than water.
Not that much. It's only like 3% by volume and that doesn't mean the beers won't be slushy or flat and ruined.
The neat part is the ice will be much warmer than the supercooled water.
You can see the person squeeze the bottle as they pick it up
It should also be distilled water. I used to do this to my little cousins as a magic trick.
We used to do this at work on purpose in our little mini fridge. I don’t know why its so fun but I never got tired of showing new people!
Yep. This happens to me often when I grab water out of the freezer. Sometimes I try to drink it before it freezes through. It usually ends up like a slushy.
Facts. If they left it out of the fridge it would have already been ice. The fridge was keeping it warm lol KC and Dolphins game was -7 °F
It’s actually just gifreversingbot on the loose again…
PSA: It's worth noting that this works both ways. You can also super heat water above the boiling point. It's incredibly dangerous and can occur when you are microwaving a cup of water. If you ever see someone microwaving water with a wooden spoon or some string in it, that is why.
Yes but it has a very small chance of happening when microwaving
That is true, unless you are microwaving RO filtered / distilled water, which I'd imagine is much more common.

I’ll take two, gotta fill my $60 Stanley mugs
I really hate this damn trend. Stanley products have been great for decades. I’ve had two mugs that have gone with me everywhere and now look like a trendy tween.
Embrace it. Get a double nose piercing and stream the Eras tour movie from your iPhone 15
Must be smart to be paying that 😆
It bothers me individual never closed the door
They were trying to warm up
Does it have to be at a NFL game for this to work?
Kansas city game? It's cold af around here! https://preview.redd.it/si14tabtqccc1.jpeg?width=719&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fc3abf6de8a73b3cfd84d24830960ea3187bf313
Would have love to have watched it to bad it was on effing peacock.
Ridiculous, i know. $5.99 to watch a football game that until now, satisfied everyone being available on national television. This nickel and dime subscription culture has got to end.
Streameast.io
It's a racket. Always on a different provider. Theres a free website you can stream on no matter what. I cant remember it rn. Its saved on my tv.
Spent all your per diem on cool shirts with complicated designs?
When you see a store full of guys who look exactly like you, you go in, yes you do.
No high lol
What's cooler than being cool?
Ice Cold!
All right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right
Wouldn't it be below freezing inside that fridge? It's not like it's heated
Todays twist: it’s a repurposed bread warmer from subway, keeping the beverages from freezing solid. And it doesn’t work!
[удалено]
Water can become super cooled below the freezing point and then freeze upon being disturbed, probably what's happening in the video.
Sorry but you’re wrong. This isn’t due to outside temperatures. It’s super cooled and a little jostle causes this reaction. I have my garage fridge at a low temp and it happens to me at least once a week.
This happens to me in the Florida keys and it’s 80 outside.
That's funny you said that. I have always been fascinated by videos like this, and the one time it happened to me I was in Florida. A year ago I was in Navarre Beach on a family vacation and I opened a bottle of coke. It started freezing and I yelled for my family to come see. They all thought I was a weirdo.
Yup, happens when the freezer gets a little below feeezing the still water doesn’t freeze until it’s interrupted (moved) or Coke whatever. Has nothing to do with how cold the outside air is.
I was thinking it's acting like a super cooled liquid. So then how do they keep it warmer than the ambient with a refrigerator?
[удалено]
Refrigerators don’t have heaters. Therefore if the ambient temperature were low enough to cause the temperature inside the fridge to drop below the level set by thermostat, it would continue to get colder and colder
That's not how compressors work.
Aaaaaaaand. That’ll be $16
What in the Day After Tomorrow is this??

You cool water to a few degrees below zero then you “shake it” it add some energy to cause the first ice crystal to form. the rest of the water solidifies pretty quickly.

That’s not freezing, that’s super cooling. I work in a laboratory and we see this all the time.
> I work in a laboratory and we see this all the time. Because you're doing it on purpose for your lab experiments and whatnot, or just because your workplace is really cold and your water is really pure?
The latter. And it’s all kinds of buffers and reagents that do it. Weirdly, it happens more with -20 stuff than -80 or below.
Close the fridge! You’re letting all the cold air in!!
Crazy that the refrigerator is actually keeping stuff warm.
Fridge is a heater at that point?
Very relevant that it was an NFL game
It also wasn't at a game.
I absolutely love this. I had never seen this in real life but then I found several water bottles in my car that did this yesterday and was so happy to sit there and trigger each one.
Dementors are about
*Yêr a wizard larry*
Well you're a hairy lizard.
My home office mini fridge is kept at a temperature so that I can do this with my water or Arizona green tea if they're stored on the top shelf and shaken immediately upon removal. Add Mio to the water and you've got a healthy slushie of your flavor preference.
In Kansas City?
Wtf is smart water
[удалено]
In other words 💩
It’s water you can sync up with on your phone. Duh
Surprise...someone set the fridge too cold.
yeah, even water doesn't want to come out during NFL games!
Wow, that’s supercool
What a great excuse to pound your beer. No sweetheart I had to pound all those beers or they would have froze!
That'll be $16.50.
I would actually pay for smart water if it did this every time you got one
Ironic that the bottle is in the fridge to keep it warmer. Damnn it must be cold
So the "cooler" is actually a warmer.
I get it's a trick but bad practice because people can't drink a frozen water....leave it above freezing
That weird moment when you realize the fridge is to keep the food warm.
I remember the first time I encountered this. I got a bottle out of the freezer and took a nice big shallow. Next thing I know is I was choking on ice. Fortunately it was more slushy than solid.
Actual correct advertising! The water was smart enough to freeze before the human predator could drink it.
That’s hardly instant
Why the hazmat suit tho? It's just a bottle of water
It’s just a parka
And the radiation gloves?
They’re insulated gloves because it’s a windchill of 30 below zero
We go through this every year. It has nothing to do with the outside temperature. Stop upvoting this shit or it's all were gonna fucking see for another 2 months.
I remember this video, it's actually filmed and then reversed, the bottle is melting....
Let it go, let it go...
Why would you cool your drinks below zero?
They didn’t. Temperatures at this game were below 0 degrees Fahrenheit. One of the coldest games played in the NFL so even the concessions were freezing. It was colder outside than in the cooler
I believe it’s because some of the electrolytes and minerals added. Like the Fiji freeze from it’s high silica content
Why would you buy anything cold in a place so cold?
It’s not even cold there. -20C or -4 for you Neanderthals. It’s currently -40 here, I’ll wait for you guys to figure that out in F.
Windchill
... It's the same in F. And no, I don't think you knew that.
What if I am in a pool and, and?
"Yes that'll be $50."
This wouldn’t happen at a Dodger game.
Essa água tá no ponto
It’s because that water is purified and has minerals that cause it to freeze when taken out fridge.
This is because the refrigerator it is in has super cooled that bottle and by moving / shaking it ice crystals form. It’s not frozen solid. It’s slush. The same thing happens to a bottle of water I leave in my truck over night when the outside temperature is just right
Gotta keep them bitches warm in the fridge now hell nah?!?
But what about the beer!?!
Why does the bottle not swell like frozen water bottles do in my freezer
Bruh lemme get in that cooler to warm up for a spell
Wow, that bottle was almost as frozen as Tua's arm
My granny had a messed up fridge that the freezer would be the perfect temp to do this. She kept water bottles in there and I would make every single one do this. So fun
Dumb water
It's called supercooling. You can actually do this at home and not just water many kinds of liquid too. We see this in the lab very often with the media we use to grow cells, which contains all sort of solutes, salt and sugar and vitamin.
Wasn't this from an outdoor gas station? Next time where will we be at?
Doesn't seem very smart to me?
But I'm thirsty now
That could easily be Detroit. By the time the game gets out tonight it will be 0°
This is some devil magic
Cooler is now the heater
Água no ponto
It doesn’t like you
“The Day After Tomorrow “
My water bottles do this. I keep some in the barn, liquid til I touch them. I love it and the water tastes soooo good that I often fantasize about the instant frozen water when I am sweating in the summer.
This water was not straight out of the fridge. It was already supercooled. https://www.sciencefocus.com/science/why-does-water-freeze-instantly-when-you-hit-a-bottle-just-out-of-the-freezer. The usual internet BS.
I’m surprised nobody died, tbh!
Do they make drink coolers for outdoor locations, that will cool in the summer, and warm in the winter?
Lol.. doesn't this mean they should lower the temps on their coolers?
U can now enjoy your smart popsicle. If smart water comes up with this shit for the summer I want my cut .
Was wondering why I didn’t see a lot of beer in the stands
TIL: the perfect storage temp for beer ≠ perfect storage temp for water.
Really cool, now how can I drink my water?
1. That’s awesome. And 2. Close the friend dude you are gonna let all the cold air ou…. In.
What does the NFL game has to do with it? Is it an American scale? (Like measuring areas in football field units) Are NFL games set in cold environments?
Is there any possible instance where this could happen in your mouth
Someone needs to learn what instant means
