New lessons from Coke

Years ago I discovered that Diet Coke explodes in a freezer much faster than regular Coke.  Sadly, it's a lesson I've learned over and over. 

Now I've switched to Coke Zero.  And, well, I left one in the freezer.  Coke Zero has even more explosive properties.  The bomb was so loud I jumped 3 feet.

It makes me wonder:  Will Coke Zero and Mentos react the same way as Diet Coke and Mentos?

Unlike cell phones popping corn, this video is real.

  1. Do you have too small of a fridge to be able to keep 2 or 3 Cokes in there? Because then all you do is take a WARM Coke before you open the fridge, take out the COLD Coke and replace it with the afore-said WARM Coke. Voila! You always have a cold Coke - and it takes you about 3 seconds longer. Which is a LOT shorter than the amount of time it has got to be taking you to clean your freezer each time you have an exploding Coke in there.

    Could you please not tell people where you graduated college from? LOL

  2. But see, that requires me to do two things and you know we Cornell graduates can only do one thing at a time.
