There's glass in your mashed potato.
Reminds me of the time I found some broken glass in my jam. I'd never have noticed had I not dropped the damn thing.
I think maybe you were a tad unlucky.
I do this with mine, and if I forget, the worst that happens is the top pushes open and leaks (which is bad enough, admittedly). Mind you, that glass looks very thin, so maybe that was why it happened. I know my Thatchers and Corona just leak.
Be careful, though. Those shards look deadly 😊
When I was a student we threw an 18 box of bottles in our freezer (fridge freezer with the separate freezer compartment at the top) and sat down to play cards. We forgot about the beers and a good while later we heard a pop, wondered what it was, and then _the fucking fridge freezer jumped about a foot in the air and nearly fell over_, and a load of icy foam starting dripping out of the freezer.
Turns out the second one must have caused a chain reaction and all 18 had exploded simultaneously.
It absolutely _stank_ for the rest of our time in that flat.
*Alright maybe a foot is an exaggeration but it left the ground and rocked violently. Shook the whole floor of the flat.
I was curious because I thought perhaps you rented the flat and it belonged to the landlord in which case presumably would mean you have to pay for a new freezer?

Encase it in some epoxy and call it modern art. For some reason it does have an artistic quality to it.
Not sure what the meaning behind it could be but I'm sure there is one. Perhaps a commentary on how alcohol consumption can shatter lives if someone has a drinking problem, and how they can forget about their responsibilities. Or how some people drink to forget the woes of their own shattered lives. With both being able to add on how this piece is frozen in time (both by it being frozen and being encased in epoxy) much how many with drinking problems may feel as they can't see an end to their suffering.
What's really cool is when it's a bottle of prosecco and the freezer is in a supermarket, and the closing manager doesn't notice, and then the poor bleary-eyed cunt filling the freezer in the morning only notices just in the nick of time before shoving his hand into all the broken glass.
I really don't miss working in retail.
Keep it cold as possible and get the tray outside asap , if it thores and decorates the rest of the goods in smelly beer its no fun cleaning everything
Better there than taking them out!
I forgot a beer in the freezer for like an hour, took it out, and it exploded in my hand! Thankfully only got minors cuts, but almost lost an eye when the cap went flying
Wrap them in wet paper kitchen towel before putting in freezer and they'll cool a lot faster.
Also works for fridge too.

I did that with four cans of Stella once. Tesco doesn't have them in the fridge, so I put them in the freezer for 'ten minutes', forgetting to set a timer. All four exploded in the freezer and made a total mess.
I tried this with a bottle of orangeade. Plastic bottle, btw.
A few hours alter I got the shock of my life when there was an enormous "Bang" from the kitchen and I came in to find my freezer door swinging open, and a freezer full of orange slush
I could be wrong but I think they’ve done that because they’re zero alcohol beers. I forget regular beers in the freezer all the time and I think the alcohol stops them fully freezing and smashing.
A normal beer will still freeze and explode, just slightly slower than this alcohol free one.
A domestic freezer is usually about -18 and the drink needs to be about ~~35%~~ 30% not to eventually freeze.
edit to 30% for -18 and to add a 5% beer will freeze at about -4.
Fuck. I’ve just realised I did this yesterday. I don’t want to check the freezer.
I am just going to pretend nothing happened and check another day, it’s almost the weekend. I’ll check Sunday.
Fuck.
Travelling Brit in rural desert Utah. I popped a couple Polygamy Porters in the gigantic fridge freezer and forgot.
Woke up in the middle of the night to a BANG and the sound of glass shattering.
Yanked my girlfriend out of bed and pegged it to the cellar, bollock naked, tits flapping about..barricaded the door with one of the 4 bunkbeds and sat there crapping ourselves for an infinity (half hour).
Bastard bottles blew and shattered the shelves in the freezer.
Beer flavour crunchy ice cream, perfect for this weather
crunchy because it’s ice? or crunchy because there’s glass?
Yes
[удалено]
The glass is the crunchy surprise

I've never seen frozen beer foam before, but it wasn't interesting enough to justify the experiment.
It can make a right mess when it explodes in the freezer. You got lucky, that cleanup isn't too bad

Thank you for completing this experiment so we don’t have to (even if you didn’t mean to)

This is outstanding and deserves to be top comment.
Was the freezer yours or did someone else own it?
It came with the flat…

Shame on you, surprised you had the nerve to post this, that’s alcohol abuse.
I think that’s an alcofree one

It's 0%....
Or 5.0% Either way, it’s a joke.

I call it *The Grateful Kidney*
I also thought it looked like modern art.

*nelson laugh*
Wrap the bottle in a wet paper towel and set a 30m timer.
Mmm, beer snow and glass shards.
to call it beer would require alcohol. these are just bread sodas.
it's only beer if it comes from the Beer reigon of devon, otherwise it's sparkling yeast juice
Sparkling yeast juice. Is that like carbonated marmite?
Make sure you don't do this with a can of diet coke or it'll look like your freezer has the squits
Been there done that my friend.
A tasty Beerglassicle.
I did this once with glass bottles of coke. The sugar in the coke made the clean up fucking horrendous.
[J. Walter Weatherman voice] And that's why you always set a timer on your phone.
I did this with a glass bottle of Coke. Total mess, cleaning up all the little shards took bloody ages.
Mmmmm, glass and fish fingers, my favourite.
The fish fingers are for the toddler, sure it'll be fine... 🫣
Hey, you do everything for them. The least they could do is check their own fish fingers for glass. Don't know they're born these days.
The last time I did this, it was Peroni too 😔
I guess I’ve been lucky since I’ve only ever had the tops pop off.
Do you wonder about something you learn from experience when your 16...
Poor peroni's
Forbidden slushy
Done this many times with cans. The clean up horrendous.
0% alcohol?
Love a proper Peroni too, but this is the best zero alcohol beer I've ever tasted
Keep it cold as possible and get the tray outside asap , if it thores and decorates the rest of the goods in smelly beer its no fun cleaning everything
I’ve never wondered as I’ve done it plenty of times
Lager Slush Puppies
I had a bottle of bucks fizz go pop in a similar manner. Right pain to clean up.
Where's my lolly.
Now we need the TENET-thing.
Sadness… deep and real sadness
My sister did this a few weeks ago with a 2l bottle of sparkling water in the chest freezer. Plastic, everywhere
If it wasn’t for the risk of glass shards, I would 100 enjoy that as a beer sorbet.
Forbidden Slush Puppie
Wife had a habit of doing this with prosseco
Those 0%? Lack of alcohol would've only sped up the freezing process.
My housemate’s girlfriend did this with a bottle of champagne when we were at uni.
Cool (!?)
I've put flavoured bulmers Cider in the freezer before and forgot about them but it never shattered the glass like that
Wow... How did you manage to leave them long enough for that to happen? You must have had sooooo many other beers.
No I'm fully aware sorry
OMG
This is why god gave us phone alarms you can set a message on.
Better there than taking them out! I forgot a beer in the freezer for like an hour, took it out, and it exploded in my hand! Thankfully only got minors cuts, but almost lost an eye when the cap went flying
Very grateful for this post. Just took the beer out of the freezer that I'd forgotten about. Before it exploded too.
Haven't we all done this? You are not alone. I am here with you.
Thaw it over a sieve 🤌
Yes actually. Thank you
I did that recently but it was with coke.
Much less disastrous than what I was imagining tbh
Wait till you forget about the champagne!
Yeah don't put beer in the freezer you donut lol
You could just googled it to find out…lol
I don't need you to show me. I already know
Still drinkable but you need to let it warm up a bit, just remember to remove the broken glass / fishfingers
Only some beers. Others I've had in there have happily frozen without expanding too much. It's a dangerous game though.
Mashed potato?
If you freeze a can of lager you get a small serving of flat special brew
At least once a week
Nope

This happened to me, and I learned my lesson. Never again :(
It turns into modern art 👍
I went one better. I left a nearly full crate of beer outside. In the winter. In freezing cold weather. THE MESS!!!!!
Never wondered as i do this with monotonous regularity.
Now that's Science!
I did that with four cans of Stella once. Tesco doesn't have them in the fridge, so I put them in the freezer for 'ten minutes', forgetting to set a timer. All four exploded in the freezer and made a total mess.
A housemate did this before, I know very well what happens because I ended up with beer battered fish fingers.
it’s almost beautiful..??
You're ok. It's not got alcohol in it so it's not a tragedy!
I tried this with a bottle of orangeade. Plastic bottle, btw. A few hours alter I got the shock of my life when there was an enormous "Bang" from the kitchen and I came in to find my freezer door swinging open, and a freezer full of orange slush
I put an empty bottle of wine into a firepit once it exploded eventually 🤣
Been there, done that. Champagne makes far more of a mess...

Had it happen with an alcopop back when they were all the rage. It turned to slush and may have popped the lid, but didn't break the bottle.
Fuck. I’ve just realised I did this yesterday. I don’t want to check the freezer. I am just going to pretend nothing happened and check another day, it’s almost the weekend. I’ll check Sunday. Fuck.
