Watch: Machine Turns Chilled Soda Into Icy Drink Almost “Instantly,” Wows Internet

Technology sometimes offers solutions to problems that we didn’t even realise existed – and once we’re aware of it, we sometimes cannot imagine being without the added convenience it offers. Technology can, therefore, make us look at even the small tasks of daily life differently. Take, for example, the action of chilling a soda bottle on hot days. Recently, a video showed how a machine turned a drink icy in what seemed to be a matter of seconds! The reel went viral, and the concept fascinated many people online.

The post was shared by a travel vlogger (@jellevleeuwen). In the video, he points out what he calls an “ice machine” in a convenience store in Thailand. Various bottles of fizzy drinks are stocked inside its glass case. A special receptacle is attached to its door. The vlogger takes an already cold bottle and places it upside down (as indicated) in the machine. He holds it in place and presses a button. A light comes on to indicate the chilling process has begun. After a few moments, the vlogger says that the drink is getting colder and points to what looks to be the formation of ice inside the bottle. He removes it from the machine and gives it a tap with his hand. “This is a full chunk of ice right now,” he says. After he exits the store, he takes a sip of his drink and confirms that it is indeed “ice cold.”
