«Frozen Mountain Dew»

This is what happens when you just want to put a Mountain Dew in the freezer for "just a few minutes" to cool it down, then forget all about it until the next day.
Frozen, bulged can of Mountain Dew
I'm really surprised it didn't split the can open in the freezer.

The frost on the outside started to thaw out, so I held it over the sink and started to open it. The pressure release froze it again. It sizzled for a while as pure Mountain Dew syrup oozed out the top. Mmm... Concentrated Mountain Dew...

After the pressure was equalized, I still couldn't open the can all the way because of a block of ice inside the can. Because of the bulged bottom, I couldn't set it anywhere without it falling over. I held it until my hands got a little too cold, then I looked for alternatives. I got impatient, and ripped the can open.
Frozen Mountain Dew, ripped off the top of the can.
I dumped my solid Mountain Dew into a glass. So now I have a Mountain Dew snow cone.

The problem with freezing Mountain Dew is it separates the syrup, so it's kinda watered down. I fixed that by pouring a little margarita mix over it.

  1. Margarita mix? That was probably interesting. I would've just waited long enough to make a slush from it - yum. Now I want a mountain dew.

  2. Well, it wouldn't have melted like that. You'd have liquid and a fairly solid block of ice.

    Mountain Dew is good.

  6. The best way to make a Mountain Dewsicle is to use the 20oz bottles and NOT the cans, get a Styrofoam ice chest fill it about 1/2 way up with Dry Ice put the bottles in laying on their side not upright then close the ice chest top, wait about 5 minutes and then take the now frozen bottles out and carefully spritz it with cool water to clean off any Liquid Nitrogen residue that might be on the bottle then take an X-Acto knife and carefully cut from top to bottom until you can peel the plastic bottle apart and take out your frozen Mountain Dew treat

  7. @ Rick: I've actually did that once before, it was good. Except I didn't have dry ice available, so I used a regular freezer. Takes longer is all.

    Thanks for commenting.

  13. @ Anonymous (#13): It cut the chain?! That's a little hard to believe... Increased pressure and the sudden release could cause an explosion akin to a dry-ice bomb I suppose.
