I have GOT to try this shit... (basically making snow in a bottle)

Its called super cooling. Throw a brew in the freezer for a few hours pull it out and tap it on the counter and it will start a chain reaction and freeze the whole thing.
Too tired to explain more
 
I just tried this out. It works absolutely perfectly.

Just use distilled water.. and voilla.. snow in a bottle.
 
one time after a long day of riding i was super thirsty and found an unopened bottle of water in my car and got all excited and cracked it open and went to take a big swig but it had frozen by the time it reached my mouth. i didnt know about this then and didnt know what was happening i thought i pissed off a gypsy that day.
 
No. Thats a solid turning directly into a gas and skipping the whole liquid phase.

Something that water cannot do unless its like -60 degrees or below and has a 120 degree temperature difference from what I remember.
 
Supercooling is the process of chilling a liquid below its freezing point, without it becoming solid.A liquid below its freezing point will crystallize in the presence of a seed crystal or nucleus around which a crystal structure can form. However, lacking any such nucleus, the liquid phase can be maintained all the way down to the temperature at which crystal homogeneous nucleation occurs. The homogeneous nucleation can occur above the glass transition where the system is an amorphous—that is, non-crystalline—solid.Water has a freezing point of 273.15 K (0 °C or 32 °F) but can be supercooled at standard pressure down to its crystal homogeneous nucleation at almost 231 K (−42 °C).[1] If cooled at a rate on the order of 106K/s, the crystal nucleation can be avoided and water becomes a glass. Its glass transition temperature is much colder and harder to determine, but studies estimate it at about 165 K (−108 °C).[2] Glassy water can be heated up to approximately 150 K (−123 °C).[1] In the range of temperatures between 231 K (−42 °C) and 150 K (−123 °C) experiments find only crystal ice.Droplets of supercooled water often exist in stratiform and cumulus clouds. They form into ice when they are struck by the wings of passing airplanes and abruptly crystallize. (This causes problems with lift, so aircraft that are expected to fly in such conditions are equipped with a deicing system.) Freezing rain is also caused by supercooled droplets.The process opposite to supercooling, the melting of a solid above the freezing point, is much more difficult, and a solid will almost always melt at the same temperature for a given pressure. It is, however, possible to superheat a liquid above its boiling point without it becoming gaseous.
 
You can do the same if you leave a few beers out on the porch. It's pretty f'n cool, I've also done it with water.
 
so just throw it in for like 3 hours, so that it doesnt have long enough to freeze? then pull in out and hit it
