And for canned liquids under pressure, that can mean explosion. The freeze temperature for Coca-Cola is 30 degrees, and the temperature for beer that’s 5% alcohol by volume is 27 degrees (higher-alcohol beers freeze at lower temperatures), as NJ.com reported.

How long does it take for a soda to explode in the freezer?

That would be about 20-25 minutes in a freezer.

Is it OK to leave soda in a hot car?

Drinking sodas that have been sitting in your car on a hot day will not harm you. The ingredients in carbonated drinks do not contain harmful bacteria, nor do they decompose to create toxins. Provided that the beverage is not hot enough to cause any physical discomfort, it is safe to consume.

Since water expands when cooled, the liquid in a can of soda will expand when frozen. Soda cans are designed to hold a specific volume of liquid. This pressure causes the can to become strained and to eventually POP when left in the freezer for too long – leaving you with a messy surprise to clean up in your freezer!
