Chilled Soda

I’ll admit that I’ve started to drink more soda than I used to. (But, man oh man, it’s so easy to just grab a cold soda out of the fridge and keep on chugging when you’re on a roll with something else!)

Lately, it seems that I drink enough Coke to empty out the fridge and by the time I go back to get another, there isn’t anymore in the fridge! Vat to do?!

Luckily, I ran across this comment from Adam Savage (yeah, the TV host from MythBusters) and bingo! Problem solved.

That would be about 20-25 minutes in a freezer. If you put [the can] in a bucket of ice, that would halve that time. If you put water in that ice, it’d be cold (+- 5c) enough to drink in about 4-6 minutes, if you put salt in that water, you’d reduce the chill time to just over 2 minutes. Agitating the can in the water, rolling it around, reduces the chill time even more. The fastest possible way is to grab a CO2 fire extinguisher and unload that sucker on the can.

Disclaimer: I’d recommend that you stay away from the fire extinguisher idea unless you really know what you’re doing. (And you won’t get in trouble for it.)
