yes...explode...KAAAAPPPLLLOOO...

I've had pop cans freeze and explode in my car. It's gross.

it will explode if in a tight container that is compact

it looses its carbonation :*(
if its left in the freezer to long anyway.

If it's in a can , it will just swell a bit, then when you let it thaw, it will be flat tasting.

Yes it'll burst.

well, it's not so much the carbonation thing as the "water expanding" thing. If you freeze a can, there is water in the soda. Water expands as it freezes, and since there is no room in the can for it to expand, it explodes!

If you leave it in there too long it will explode :)

Give it a try and then get back to us.

It loses it's carbonation.

the container can bust if it's something like plastic.

sometimes it will burst in the fridge-if not when you open it it will overflow with pressure... never explodes like a bomb-more like when you open the biscuit rolls

The water expands on freezing as it always does. If that breaks the container, it makes a sugary, foaming mess as it defrosts. If not, then it normally recovers fairly well.

it will only explode if you leave it to long. how long is to long , usually we put soda in the freezer , sometimes we forget them overnight and in the morning ,a nice mess to clean

It will only explode if it is in a sealed container with no expansion room, such as a soda in its original, unopened can. If you fill a cup halfway and freeze it, it will freeze just like any other liquid, but it will be flat when it melts.

It may not necessarily explode--you just have to make sure you make room in the bottle. Like, drain off a few inches at the top of a 2 liter and then freeze...

i know for a fact if dr pepper and diet coke freeze they do explode and it is a mess! but mountain dew, takes a long time to freeze and ive never had one explode

My personal experience. In the freezer compartment the can will swell and explode.


Causing one big mess and plugging up most of the vent holes.

Just don't do it!

it will burst the container .

try it and see...

theyll explode

Yes it will explode,it happened to me recently because I forgot to take it out of the freezer.
