No you won’t “definitely won’t forget this time”
FUCK I put a snack in the freezer like… 5 days ago? And completely forgot about it until now
This will happen again I can’t fetch it right now
Jo when you home buddy? Set a timer.
This. I put protein shakes in the freezer bc they taste better the colder they are. They aren’t good though if you freeze them then let them thaw, so it’s a pretty high risk game. I try to remember to set a 30 minute timer on my phone whenever I do it.
You know ice exists, right?
Smartphones have location-based reminders. Just ask Siri or whatever Google calls theirs this month.
I’ve forgotten about thin mints in the freezer for so long that I had purchased another pack the next Girl Scout cookie season and only found them when I put newly purchased package in the freezer.
I’ve learned the hard way (multiple times) that if beverage goes into freezer a timer of one hour MUST be set on my phone or smart speaker, because I gaslighted myself into believing it’s illegal to put drinks in the freezer and if someone finds out I’ll be arrested.
This is genius!!
😂
Bomb has been planted.
My ex. Never me. I’d drink soda warm before id risk it bursting.
My ADHD absolutely can’t handle that clean up.
If you get lucky it supercools before freezing and the shock of the vessel breaching is enough to freeze the rest of it mid-explosion. The one time I’ve had a bottle burst (luckily the cap gave way first), that happened and I was left with a bottle with frozen liquid holding the cap a few cm above the bottle and minimal dripping.
It’s even faster to put it in ice water and the worst that can happen if you forget about it is your drink gets warm again.
Add salt to the ice water so it melts colder and it will cool your drink faster.
I’ve been using the “kitchen timer” function on my microwave non-stop since I found it
I do the same thing by only putting my drink in the freezer when I’m cooking something else on a timer like in the microwave.
❌ Randomly when I just want a cold one?
✅ When I’m making a hot pocket.
Get a drink with more alcohol in it. It will survive longer
Roughly 1 degree below 0°C per degree (percent) of alcohol is the rule of thumb I was taught
So many exploded cans and bottles in my youth but also the magic when you got it and your coke was in slushie form and then you added booze.
Chefs kiss
My family had a recipe for brandy slush that used the alcohol to prevent the mix from freezing solid. It was a big hit at summer parties.
I’ll remember because by the time I put it in there I’m close to dying of thirst, but still won’t drink something at room temp. So forgetting and then remembering my crippling dehydration is generally a pretty good egg timer for it
Man, I’ve done that so many times. Another one is, “I’ll set this important object in this random place while I go do a side-errand. When I’m done I’m sure I will somehow remember where I left it, even though this has never worked before.”
Obviously it won’t work for cold drinks, but for warm drinks, I got my wife a few of these:

She still forgets her drinks, but now when she finds them, they’ve usually maintained the desired temperature.
Bonus points if it’s contained in a pressurized aluminum can.
Expect: “What the heck was that boom?!”
I hope it was seltzer instead of soda.
Kid of a girl I was seeing years ago put a can of Coke in there, forgot about it, and the fucking can exploding blew the door of the freezer off somehow.
get a wife. you leave one drink to long in the freezer a few dozen times and they never let you live it down.
I have timers/alarms for everything. At least one hundred.
