I put a bottle of coke in the freezer for an hour or two (actually, I don't remember for how long). I was monitoring it to make sure it didn't freeze. When I saw ice crystals in there, I took it out to drink. When I was a kid, I used to go to the little mom & pop store after school and sometimes, I would buy a coke. Ok, I am dating myself here (at least not carbon dating)...I think they had only bottled drinks and no cans. Anyway, the drinks when in the top opening refridgerators that were really cold and the drinks always had ice crystals in them. That was the best temperature to me.

So I thought I would try and duplicate that with some bottled coke. Anyway, fast foward. I took the soda out of the freezer when I started to see a few ice crystals. When I opened it, the soda froze. Not one solid piece of ice bit thousands of little ice chunks with some liquid.

The same thing happened with some of my wife's lychee flavored sake.

Iced drinks without watered down flavor!

I don't think I will try that any more as there is a risk of the bottle exploding in the freezer. (my safety disclaimer)

Does that mean I should change my user name to "cold blast?" No offense to the one and only original Blast.
