I am loving Ask Mefi more everyday; this question: “How long in the freezer to chill a Coke from 89F to 35F?” is answered by a couple people, but the best answer (and most favorited) comes from Adam Savage of Mythbusters.
That would be about 20-25 minutes in a freezer. If you put it in a bucket of ice, that would halve that time. If you put water in that ice, it’d be cold (+- 5c) enough to drink in about 4-6 minutes, if you put salt in that water, you’d reduce the chill time to just over 2 minutes. Agitating the can in the water, rolling it around, reduces the chill time even more.
The fastest possible way is to grab a CO2 fire extinguisher and unload that sucker on the can.
Whatever you do, do NOT bury the can in sand, pour gasoline on the sand and set the sand on fire. That won’t do anything. …
apparently his insight/data comes straight from an episode delving in answering this very question. on a side, ridiculous humor tickles me.
