Re: Putting Coke in Freezer to cool faster?

The freezer is cold, for sure, so yeah.
Better yet is to get ice water mixed with salt. If you do this, the water gets much colder (freezing point depression) and the fact that it's liquid on the metal can gives you better heat transfer than the freezer.

They did this test on Myth Busters last season. They were trying to determine the quickest way to chill beer. The myth was that you could chill beer the quickest by burying it in sand, pouring gasoline on the sand, then lighting the gasoline on fire. The theory was that the fire would draw the heat out of the sand and chill the beer. Predictably, all they ended up with was beer cans that smelled like gasoline containing beer that wasn't any colder.
They also tested a bunch of other ways to chill beer in order to find the best method. The best method by far was to use saltwater and ice.
