Very cold but not cool experiment

Just in case you were wondering, carbonated beverages in air tight container while exploded when left in extreme temperatures. We learned the first half of this lesson a few years ago when a can of soda was left in my hot car while I was at work. It took me almost half my drive home to figure out why there were spots on my windshield that wipers and wiper fluid wouldn't clean. The top of the can had blown wide open spraying soda all over the windshield and on the ceiling. If you look in the Mazda, you can still see stains on the ceiling.

This past weekend, we figured out that cold does the same thing. Although I can't believe we didn't hear it go off.

What the freezer looked like when Jake opened it.

Upon further investigation (specifically for the top of the can)...


What the shelf looked like.

The culprit.
