Yes, Diet Coke will explode in the freezer. As the water inside the drink freezes, it expands, creating enough pressure to rupture the aluminum can or plastic bottle, often within a few hours.

  1. They told me this thing (fill in the blank) would be a terrible idea and wreak havoc but I did it anyway.

    Sums up his presidency quite well I’d say.

  2. If he had actually said this, within a week you’d have right wing pundits talking about how it’s actually a good thing to have frozen diet coke all over the bottom of your freezer.

    I left a can of seltzer in the car overnight in extremely cold weather recently. It didn’t burst, but it had obviously frozen based on the bulging bottom. I foolishly opened it shortly after the car had warmed up hoping that some of it would have returned to liquid. It sprayed a lot. And on top of that I’m speculating that the rapid release of the pressurized gas further dropped the temperature, because the block of ice was still there many hours later. There was still some ice when I went to sleep. I was able to put the finally empty can in the recycling in the morning.

  4. I believe this, I’m marking it down as an accurate statement from trump.  That makes 25 or so this year.

    He died not clean up the mess.

  5. You have to wait for the follow up merch. The Trump Diet Coke ‘freezer’, which is actually just a crappy drink fridge that barely gets them below room temp.

  6. “You know, they told me not to stick my dick in those underage girls (crowd boos) but you know what? I stuck it in ’em. All of them, over and over again (crowd cheers). I even grabbed them all by the pussy!” 

    The red hat-wearing crowd goes wild. Trump starts dancing to YMCA, doing his “jacking 2 guys off at the same time” dance. A good time is had by all. He is voted in for a third term…

    The MAGA cult literally worships a 34 times convicted felon and, now, war criminal with the emotional maturity of a ten year old boy!

  8. All canned fizzy drinks will explode if you leave them in long enough, whether they’re Diet or not, but plastic bottles can usually freeze completely and then thaw out with no problem.

    Can someone please tell him you can’t mix ammonia and bleach, even though it’s a super cleaning agent that gets out any stain?

    One side wants everybody treated decently.

    The other side puts diet coke in the freezer as an act of defiance.

    They told me with tears in their eyes, “No, sir. Please don’t do it. Nobody’s ever done that before.” Unfortunately, he doesn’t understand the meaning of the word No.
