Lol idk ill have to try it tonight. Ill let you know;)

I've never seen or heard of this. I live just a couple hours from Ontario (we have the same weather) and i'm supprised that I hadn't heard anybody talk about this. I will have to check it out myself. Its -27 today here so it would be perfect to try this...

It is called supercooled water. If the water is extremely pure, as in has very little to no particulate in the water, there will not be any nucleation sites in the liquid, which is required to start the freezing process. Once the bottle is shaken or disturbed, air bubbles introduced to the liquid will act as nucleation sites around which the water will begin freezing. Once it begins freezing, the ice will spread until the entire bottle is frozen.

love to hear how your Water bottle went

Lol idk ill have to try it tonight. Ill let you know;)

cant wait to hear your results

I grew up about 2hrs from where this was supposedly filmed and have never heard of it. It is -27C (-8F) here today and I might just put a bottle on my patio tonight - thinking it was more 'misting' or iced up on the bottle than anything.

YA.... I've opened super cold water and it sort of freezes when you open the cap. BRRRRRRRR (it's been balmy here this winter in North Dakota)

Not sure if that works, but last week it was -40 here (literally, the second coldest place on the planet that day) and my husband took a cup of water outside, threw it into the air, and it froze/evaporated before coming back down. Very very very cold that week.

and here i am wrapped in blankets at 42 degrees outside and you all are doing some serious BRRRRR

i should b shamed...

Geez I am so glad I live in Florida

I put my bottles outside, exact same kind too lol

Ok my bottles expanded in the night and fell over ad were frozen but my husband says its done that in his work truck before so now I'm determined to try again tonight lol...

We did this when I was in Minnesota for my father's birthday back in 2005. It was -32. We did it several times, because we thought was cool!
