    Text - The machine is usually is 35F inside, the display was showing 89F. So if the Coke was at 89F how long will it take to reach 35F assuming the freezer is at 32F? posted by zeoslap to Science & Nature (22 answers total) 9 users marked this as a favorite

    Text - That would be about 20-25 minutes in a freezer. If you put it 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.

    Text - The fastest possible way is to grab a CO2 fire extinguisher and unload that sucker on the can. Whatever you do, do NOT bury the can in sand, pour gasoline on the sand and set the sand on fire. That won't do anything. This is all empirically gained evidence, not third party. posted by asavage at 11:07 AM on November 30, 2006
