- wm2010russ, on 10/11/2007, -1/+187this comment on metacafe was just awesome:
Put the ice in a glass
Then pour the coke into the glass with the ice. Its so easy, now you try. - tuxidomasx, on 10/11/2007, -1/+143or i could just let my ex-girlfriend hold it
cold heartless bitch - Rayfound, on 10/11/2007, -2/+94I feel your pain, salt is REALLY HARD to find most places with bowls, water, ice and Coke.
- GeneralGore, on 10/11/2007, -0/+74At first I thought he was just going to say "Take a bowl, fill it with ice and then put your drinks inside. It's like magic".
- Skanadian, on 10/11/2007, -1/+71Love the comments.
"JUST THOUGHT I WOULD LET YOU KNOW
THERES A CAT IN UR FRIDGE " - JPOGDNA, on 10/11/2007, -21/+86IM IN UR FRIDGE DRINKIN UR WARM COKE
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -3/+55So... Did he pour some coke for his cat at the end?
- sasper, on 10/11/2007, -1/+50It definitely works, but that was the cheesiest video ever. "Superchill your drink!"
- Nick22, on 10/11/2007, -0/+36yes
- spidoman, on 10/11/2007, -2/+37Does anyone else hate the stupid DIY metacafe announcer guy?
- quomen, on 10/11/2007, -1/+34Jesus this guy made a lot of money off that video.
- Namco, on 10/11/2007, -1/+26One problem with this method. It shrivels up the coke to half it's original size! Who wants that?
- themastersb, on 10/11/2007, -1/+24I give my cat Coke to drink all the time. He prefers it much more than that other leading brand...
- monkeycat, on 10/11/2007, -5/+27So chemistry...
If a handful of salt is ~ 1 gram and he was dissolving it in 2L of ice water, he would make a solution that is approximately 0.017 molal (of ions).
Using the molal freezing constant of water of 1.86ºC/m, the freezing point would depress by 0.032ºC - basically nothing. He would need to dump a TON of salt in the water to really depress the freezing point.
Cool idea, but the chemistry is off. - JazzFlight, on 10/11/2007, -1/+20You should probably wipe off the lip of the can before you drink it, unless you enjoy salty Coke.
- OatmealBatman2, on 10/11/2007, -2/+21Smart people with no common sense... anyone who's made homemade ice cream knows this method.
- Cowfrommars, on 10/11/2007, -0/+18Yeah, seriously. Has anybody noticed this guy takes simple things many people don't know and makes thousands of dollars off every video. I should totally do that, but I can't be bothered.
- Munkey106, on 10/11/2007, -0/+17Who the hell is that guy? He's in every video!
- santaliqueur, on 10/11/2007, -3/+17At least you stopped short of saying "Oh man, I'm such a geek! =D"
Most of the time, people who claim to be "geeks" aren't that smart anyway. They are usually just dorks. - clide, on 10/11/2007, -3/+16You must have tiny hands. A handful of salt is more like 15-20 grams, and he could have less than 2 L water with the amount of ice he had. Your point is still valid though, it would drop less than 1°C
- nreynolds, on 10/11/2007, -2/+15i have a feeling that works about 95% as quickly.
- KMye, on 10/11/2007, -1/+13and that looked like a cat...
- jull1234, on 10/11/2007, -3/+14You're a rare breed.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+13Does that guy keep his cat in the fridge?
- tyywebb, on 10/11/2007, -1/+12Wow poor guy isn't even cool enough to be a geek! The ultimate digg put down!
- ericnmu, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10Wow, glad that's in video format. God knows how hard it is to paraphrase.
Put it in a bowl of ice, water, and salt. - davidrools, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11Switch from chemistry to heat transfer. You've got a body of 80 degree soda (~27°C) in a body of 0°C ice water (forget the salt). After two minutes you end up at 43°F (~7°C), a 20° drop in temperature. That mini soda can probably had about 8oz of volume (~.24L). So the average heat transfer rate is 40 W. Ballpark the surface area of the can at 0.3 sq. meters, neglect the insulation of the can since it's thin and conducts heat much better than the coke, and your heat transfer coefficient, h=7 W/m^2-° which is kind of low for water.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9Did he just feed his cat coke?
- psiDevil98, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8Yes, metacafe pays the makers of their videos based on popularity.
- kahlessreborn, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8Nothing that new they did this on Mythbusters a year or two ago. The also found a fire extinguishers works but isn't practical.
- unfinite, on 10/11/2007, -7/+14"Jesus this guy made a lot of money off that video."
Yeah, because its been on the front page of digg so many times. - artofwar420, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Think that's a lot of money for one video? Check out his total earning in his profile: http://www.metacafe.com/user/2758741/kipkay/
$37,494 !! - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7It looks like a cat bowl with the fish shape cut outs.
- sark666, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Why are people saying this guy is making thousands off the videos? Does metacafe pay for views or something? Did he make em or grab other vids and put his audio on them?
- one1plus1one, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5@themastersb
Cats and dogs can't eliminate caffeine through urine.
That means that have to barf it out (or die, if the dose is high enough).
So just FYI for everyone: don't give your kitties or puppies anything with caffeine. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7This guys voice annoys the ***** out of me.
- nottidredd, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5yea no thanks, i'll super chill my drink the expensive way. Fire Extinguisher!!!!
- saintdesy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4The dude has made like $37,000 off of metacafe. Freakin' ridiculous.
- everfalling, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5I'M IN YOUR FRIDGE, STEALIN' YOUR COKES.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4OK, she licks the condensation on the bottle. Jeez.
- Daniel0, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3And he posted it 12 hours 49 min ago. So what?
- RAFthe3rd, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2So i have a question. Why not just make salt ice cubes? Can a conventional freezer freeze salt water? Then throw your salt ice cubes in even saltier water. But i guess if you remember to actually make salt ice cubes you'd also remember to put your coke in the fridge.
- speaker219, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2This freaking kipkay dude is in every metacafe video, his voice pierces my ears, and he makes $2000 bucks off a freaking law of physics!
- spudnic, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2'Warm beer' is a myth. Some beers are supposed to be served at cellar temperature, which is cool rather than cold. This is done because it releases smells which contribute to the taste. Chilling a beer of that type is like putting a bottle of red wine in the fridge.
- HypocriteDigg, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2WTF? Who gives Coke to their pet?
- Canadianinjapan, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3they had this on mythbusters already
- bigysmalls, on 09/12/2008, -0/+1Oh yeah...my cat loves coke but my dog will only drink Pepsi. Go figure!
- Mirag3, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3Monkeycat & clide
Take chem 101 again - there is only a small freezing point depression ( Na+ + Cl-) and the 1st Law of Thermodynamics and Newton's Law of Cooling (heat transfer), the drink is cooled more quickly than normal. Note: The reason is that the lattice energy of NaCl is outweighed by the ionization energies of sodium and chloride.

P.S. Davidrools is entirely correct, ionic dissociation simply increases the effectiveness. - TheDefiant, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I hate warm soda.
- mal1964, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1" I know I have" mmmmm I find it hard to believe that guy has ever forgot to stock it.
