Default Re: Putting Coke in Freezer to cool faster?

ok, ill allow my possible retardation to shine through here. all of you who are saying to put the beer can into "salt water and ice" are then putting the salt water and ice into the freezer correct? otherwise somebody will need to explain to me why a bucket of saltwater and ice would be colder than a bucket of regular water and ice.

The salt depresses the freezing point of water so the water can get much colder without freezing, and your beer is able to be submerged in a liquid colder than the freezing point of water .

FYP. The liquid still won't be colder than the ice you put into the liquid to cool it in the first place. All the salt allows is for the liquid to reach a cooler temperature than normal without freezing.
