WITH the weather warming up as we head into summer that means only one thing – ice cold drinks in the sun.
If you’ve forgotten to freeze any water the night before a BBQ or the weekend, it can mean an agonising wait for chilled refreshments.
But lukewarm beverages can be a thing of the past, after one woman revealed how to freeze water in no time at all.
She shared a clip to Tik Tok, which she captioned “mind blown”.
You don’t need any fancy bits of equipment, just your regular ice cube tray and a kettle.
Sharing the video, she said: “Why did no one f*****g tell me that this s**t was a thing.”
She films herself with two ice cube trays and two bottles of water, which she’s labelled hot and cold.
After pouring the water into each tray, she freezes them for 30 minutes and films the result.
She tips the ice cube tray filled with hot water, showing it’s already frozen solid.
But when she tips the tray she poured cold water in, it spills out all over her carpet.
The science behind the hack is called the Mpemba effect, which Science Daily said was a “counter-intuitive physical phenomenon revealed when hot water freezes faster than cold water.”
More than 94,000 people have watched the clip, with some in shock over the mind-boggling tip.
Commenting, one person said: “Omg what.”
Another joked: “I’m boiling my beer before I put it inside the fridge.”
While a third wrote: “If this is true ur life will change forever. [sic]”
Mum shares her recipe for Malteser cake & you don’t need to put it in the oven or the fridge.
Meanwhile a mum creates a simple ‘treat plate’ to get her ‘fussy eater’ son to try new food – and you can grab one from B&M for £6.
And this mum was shamed for giving her 12-month-old KFC – trolls called her fat and threatened her with social services.
