Science!

I had a bottle of soda in my car, and I brought it in to work today. It was still perfectly liquid, not frozen at all, but it must have been at just the right temperature because as soon as I opened it, the depressurization caused it to instantly slush completely in my hands.

Science fucking rules.

I seen that happen with beer before. Basically, the liquid cools below the freezing point but can't freeze because the crystals don't have anywhere to start. opening it or giving the bottle a sharp smack disturbs the liquid enough for nucleation to take place, which causes it to freeze almost instantly.

It's really cool to see it happen to water in a clear bottle, too.
