We were at a party last night where the Coke (etc) was left in a cool box outside the patio doors, and occasional brave souls went out to get more as required. After 10pm they were coming in with ice in, and after midnight the first too-solid-to-drink one was opened.

The soft drinks in this house are kept in the cupboard under the stairs, which has a window in it, although it is sort-of also in the very warm living room. The cans are coming out colder than if they'd been in the fridge, but just the right side of ice. Lovely. :D

I was at a party once when the host, unfamiliar with champagne, opened a bottle of sparkly that someone had been storing in the freezer. (Why? Who knows.) There were champagne stains on a fifteen-foot ceiling.

I once left a bottle of bubbly for slightly too long in the freezer (to chill it quickly). When we opened it, it frothed out, but froze as it did so (presumably due to the drop in pressure or something), so we had a sort of instant champagne sorbet fountain, which was kind of cool.

I left the remains of my Christmas Eve packed lunch in the nice cold car and by the time I took it out on Boxing Day I had two frozen sanwiches and two frozen satsumas. Oops.

Presumably if the turkey freezes in the shed, you become *more* likely to be salmonellaed.
