rolling a can on ice does not increase surface for heat transfer. The contact area b/t the can and ice remains constant.
instead, rolling of the can allows faster heat exchange through creation of current in the soda.

damn, I love physics.

 

You need to try Dublin Dr Pepper. It's the oldest Dr Pepper bottler and they still use pure cane sugar instead of the corn syrup crap. I'm such a nerd I went to their bottling plant in Dublin, TX while on a road trip to San Antonio last weekend. I have a bunch of real Dr Pepper now though!

 

how do u typo 'almost' out of 'minute'?????

 

Way to kick a guy when he's down

The keys are really close together, okay jerk? It was one of those where you type what you're thinking instead of what makes sense.

 

An easy trick to cool a can of soda is to place it under cold running water (from your tap) for a minute or two. As long as you have decently cold water, it will cool the drink fairly quickly. Since the water keeps running, it doesn't suffer from heat soak and so you get a consistently cool flow with very little temperature change.

An ice bath is definitely the best thing to use but I don't know how practical that is much of the time. A faucet with cold water is usually readily available...

 

But it does taste the closest to the original of all the diet colas.

When I'm at the fountain I mix diet and regular DP half and half. That way I get all the DP flavor but with half the calories so I can drink twice as much!

Diet Coke tastes like pee and Caffeine free Diet coke tastes like bitter pee.

 

I think the fastest way to get a cold soda is to get one out of the soda machine

 

I once brought a warm Pepsi to convenience store and asked to swap it for a cold one. They had no problem with it.

 

If you really want to make it cold fast is get a bucket of ice and some cold water dump a load of salt and put the soda in there and within a few min its colder than freezing temp.

 

How could it be colder than freezing without being frozen unless there is booze in the can?
