I'm a student in the School of Life. As such, there are times you learn things that, at least at the moment, are a mystery to you. And when doing scientific research to solve these little mysteries, you document your findings.

1. I placed my Diet Pepsi in the fridge, which was cold, but not super frozen cold.	2. The Diet Pepsi got cold. That's good. When you take it out and tilt it, it's in a 100% liquid state.	3. Things start to get weird when you open the bottle. The usual bubbles, then...
4. The surface appears to freeze over.	5. A noticeable volume of the 24 oz. (710mL) beverage freezes up.	6. The beverage begins to overflow from its container.
7. You can let it run its course, but that yields a 50%+ beverage loss and turns to a slushee top.	Well, that's it. The only way to stop it, I found, was to let it stop oozing, or squeeze a bunch of beverage down the drain. Both aren't great choices, admittedly.
