I put an unopened bottle of Gatorade® G2 in the freezer to cool it faster, but I forgot to get it out. Next day, WTF it's not frozen. When I opened the lid, it froze up.

So, I tried it again and I was able to duplicate the supercooling effect, where liquid remains liquid well below freezing point, then freeze up upon impact.

I took off the label for easier viewing.
The resulting mush has a gummy texture rather than slushy.. wtf

  • That's fake you added something to it because I wanted to do this so I went and bought one and put it in the freezer and took it out the next day (today) and it was already frozen.

  • No I didn't. Watch carefully. Try it in warmer part of the freezer. My 2door freezer only gets down to about +10degree F. It does completely freeze up if I put it in the deep freeze, which I keep at -10F.

  • It's due to the difference in pressure. When you open the lid, the pressure inside the bottle decreases rapidly, not only changing the freezing point of the liquid, but also causing a small additional drop in temperature. The "gummy" texture may be due to the fact that G2 has sucralose (splenda) in it...yuck.

  • The change in freezing point due to pressure is very small. It takes a lot of pressure to alter the freezing point and there was next to no pressure inside the bottle.

  • from the internet:

    The Gatorade was supercooled. Basically, what happens is that the Gatorade's temperature lowered below the freezing point, but because the inside of the bottle was smooth there were no places for ice crystals to originally form. When you got the Gatorade out of the freeze and moved it around, that movement created tiny bubbles and a place for ice crystals to start forming (which then started a chain reaction for the rest of the liquid to freeze).

  • That just happened to me and i was wondering wth happend!

  • THAT HAPPENED TO ME!! and i didnt know why!!! it freaked me out a little, but it was cool cuz i ate the frozen part and it was like a snow cone!!!

  • I thought I discovered something new… meh

  • what I find amazing is someone would actually drink that crap

  • i actually did the same thing this morning on accident. stuck a bottle of strawberry g2 gatorade in the snow for about 4 hours, took it out, hit the bottle on snowless ground to get all the snow off the bottle, and BAM, supercooling. i didn't even mean to do it. it was awesome. the gummy texture was a bit unexpected too haha.

  • REVERSE FILMED

  • its true it tried it!!! but with coke! :D

  • @granas1337 It's not fake.
