Talk about frigid.

I donÂ’t know if this is good editing or if they added something to the water, but I want to know how this is done.



If anyone knows the answer, please share with me. Thanks!

1 It could be supercooled, but that's not really likely... it wouldn't freeze as he's shaking the bottle.

I found this: Put 1/3 cup warm water into a paper cup. Use a stirring stick and add 1/4 teaspoon guar gum into the water. Stir until mixed and the guar gum is dissolved. Optional: add 2-5 drops of food color. Mix thoroughly. While stirring, add about 2 tablespoons 4% borax solution to the guar gum mixture.

2 that makes goo yuck, not real ice. Hmmm. There are any number of endothermic reactions that can be done by adding the chemicals to a bottle of water and shaking.....

I'll bet it's the stuff they put in those "instant cold" ice packs.
