If you left a cold glass bottle of soda and the freezer and then you took it out can it still exploded?

1 answer

Yes, a cold glass bottle of soda that has been left in the freezer can potentially explode when taken out. This can happen for a couple of reasons:

  1. Pressure Build-Up: As the soda freezes, the carbonation can create pressure inside the sealed glass bottle. If the soda expands too much as it freezes, it can cause the glass to break or shatter.

  2. Temperature Shock: If the bottle is taken out of the freezer and is exposed to warmer air, the sudden change in temperature can also contribute to breaking. Glass is sensitive to thermal stress, and rapid temperature changes can lead to cracks or shattering.

To avoid this, it's best to not leave glass bottles of soda in the freezer for too long. If you want to chill a beverage quickly, consider using ice instead.
