Pretty sure the cooler was set to just above freezing. Tipping it upside-down releases carbonation to keep enough pressure, the machine is a small anti-griddle, aka a cold plate, meant to drain just a little more heat out of the liquid. At that point, the pressure is what's keeping it from freezing. Once you crack the top, the pressure is released and the ice crystals start to form.
For anyone who wants to try this, you can do this at home. If you set a drink in the freezer for several hours and avoid moving it or jostling it at all, it may go into a supercooled state - the temp of the liquid has dropped below freezing, but it hasn't actually become ice yet. To activate the freezing process, simply tap the bottle on something. And now you have a slush! Works for bottled water too, but it has to be pretty pure, tap water won't work.
@@raged5903 It unfortunately varies depending on your freezer, due to temperature differences in make, model, setting, and even individual unit (sorta like how some ovens can run hotter or colder than their display and internal gauge says, with no 2 ovens able to truly hit the exact same temp at the same setting, even if identical models)
@raged5903 put a cold bottle from your refrigerator into the freezer directly in front of the vent where the cold air comes from for about 25 to 30 minutes then very carefully remove it from the freezer without shaking it then give it a good smack to watch it instantly freeze up into slush.
51 cents for a coke is crazy when it's 2 sometimes 3 dollars here regularly. Edit: i know minimum wage is different everywhere and that directly affects the price of goods sheesh folks. It's still crazy. What's crazier is a country that owes other countries money still has higher wages and its currency is still worth more. Money is made up.
@br14nn14 You should look up the cola wars in Central and South America. Coke hired mercenaries to run companies out of business. Just as crazy as the banana murders Chiquita, then called the United Fruit Co, hired paramilitary hit squads to take over the fruit business.
In my place, it cost $1.20 - $1.80 for small bottle when buying at shop For large bottle it cost $2.80 to $3.50 Also never drink from food shop or restaurant, because they always sell higher prices, Etc: 1 coca cola small tin cost $1.50 while at regular shop sell $0.80 to $1.00
@@br14nn14 Aunque en Argentina costase 0.1 dolar, sería mucho más caro que para un japonés o para un estadounidense porque ellos ganan sueldos decentes, en Argentina el sueldo medio es de 400 dólares o menos.
Place soda in freezer for 3 hours 15 minutes. Take the soda out and open the bottle and immediately close it to do a quick release of the gas. Then tilt the bottle upside down and it will crystalize to a slushy like consistency.
They would get vandalized waaaay more than you might think.... we can't have nice things because we have irresponsible perpetual toddlers running around
We actually had these in California for a few years. I would usually find them in most gas stations, but I guess they weren't popular since you could also just get a slushee from the machine at a cheaper price.
You can make it yourself in the freezer if you time it right and don't move it while it's freezing You can probably find a RU-vid video on it It's pretty cool
With Thailand's tropical weather this is a brilliant little idea. For that matter, we could use something like this here in Texas with how hot our summers are, with the difference being that bottles of soda here are grossly overpriced in the US, as has already been pointed out. If I drank soda, I'd want this as well.
I just had to go look as I've also followed for a very long time it feels. I'm like wow when did that happen. There is no bragging or showing off on this channel so I missed when the channel subs took off I guess. 3 million is quite a large amount
@@mightyfilm That's too easy.. That's a machine that does everything for you on the cheap. They want to have to do all the labor to make it work and pay more for doing the work and making a mess. LOL It really is just a slurpee as you said but whatever. Other people's kids.. I swear....
@@himbaek8533 And you can basically do the same thing in your freezer at home. It just takes like 3 hours and you have to go out and shake it a couple of times.
My mini fridge has 2 settings: 1. Slightly above RT 2. Will turn to slush on your first sip. Its suprisingly frustrating when your refreshing Gatorade turns into an icecube of undrinkability mid gulp.
It's not that it's expensive in USA, the thing is that they have to keep lower prices in some countries or else no one will buy it as the drink may end up even more expensive than a regular meal.
@@MatLCF if it can be that cheap in another country, it can be here also. issue is government greed, creating high inflation and making our money not worth jack. it has been like this for decades and they always try to blame capitalism so the government can keep lining pockets.
@@Bos_Meong Well...$1000 a month is nothing now. The median price for a home is $299,000 (a fixer-upper type), for a vehicle is $35,000 (most likely preowned/ used)...and if you plan to pay rent, you'll be out-of-pocket $2799 a month before 'utility' bills (also, if you plan to rent an apartment you have to make at least three-times the monthly rent payment to qualify for said apartment). Also, a burger with fries and a drink is now $30, groceries for a month will put you back about $890 (depending on where you shop), and to fill-up the tank of gas in your car it will cost you $4.69 a gallon. So...if you make $1000 a month, you'll be on the street, living in the sewers and eating out of the dumpsters.
As a Asian who live in Thailand, i can say that your must be lucky to found this machine because not a single 7-11 in my local have that machine(even my life doesn't found it once but judging from surrounding, i think it was at one of the following: puket, rayong, chonburee and chompron (sorry for worng pronunciations, i'm too busy to take a look how it actually wirte)
I believe you can do this by turning your drink over as demonstrated and placing it in your freezer for a (need to experiment) period of time. Long time ago there was a video of a similar type where the pop was poured into a dish and became a frosty (slurpee)
You can do this at home too. You just need to not disturb the drink and ideally a chest freezer. Then take it out and give it a shake or a squeeze to see it become slush.
I wish we had one of these where I am I would love to make my soda a slushie at times without having to stick it in the freezer for 3 hours then forget about it and freeze it
Every once & a while ill throw one in the freezer & hit it just right where open it & turns to slush... Best thing ever!! Especially when not meaning too!
I saw another RU-vid video from someone else in Japan that showed a similar option but was only available for regular Coke 'original taste', whereas for you in Thailand, there's more options, like Coke 'no sugar', Sprite, and even Fanta! I kinda want to try frozen Fanta Orange or Grape now if i can recreate the setup with my fridge at home. (Edit: I then searched RU-vid and realised it was a video from you)
The bottles in the fridge are supercooled. It just means that if not disturbed the ice does not form. The light contraption she put the bottle in is there for no reason at all unless it vibrates. As she turned the bottle upside down and back up again, that started the process. The water in the drinks is very pure so needs to be kickstarted into freezing. Normally impurities in the water help seed the crystallisation of ice.
Me and my buddy use to do this with water bottles in Iraq. After a long day in 120f+ heat on our missions, we always looked forward to those slushy waters. Pull them out the freezer and give them a lil shake and they turn to slush in seconds 🤤.
