A question for science people?

Maybe they've reduced the amount of anti-freeze in it?

omegalogos,

Thankee-sai (taps throat 3 time) for the confirmation!

(wonder who will get the above reference?)

Well, there are a lot of correct answers on here. But I tend to look at things differently. The carbonization builds up pressure which exerts more energy on the atoms and molecules and energy created by this lowers the temperature of which it freezes. When you open the can it automatically freezes because the energy of the pressure exertion is released and the molecules and atoms instantly correct flash freezing it. energy can be stored in pressure itself, it forms a chemical/physical reaction. When you touch something frozen and metal with a wet tongue, your tongue sticks because it technically welds itself to the metal using water as a sort of catalyst. The energy flows from your body into the metal which causes a reduction of repulsion of molecules and they join with a weak bond. Basically welding works the same way, the energy overloads the bonds melting them and they reconnect together. When enough energy is gained to overcome the newly made bond the tongue will release from the metal.

It is the slingshot effect of energy that causes the rapid freezing of the soda. The same slingshot effect is present in the home hot water lines, the hot water lines can actually freeze faster than cold water lines. Running water does not freeze at the freezing point because the energy in the movement actually adds energy to the water but as soon as real cold water stops moving it usually has accelerated freezing capability because the movement energy dissipates rapidly.

Kind of a rough interpretation of things, I'm not good at portraying this information well because I did not memorize all the words they use that nobody really completely understands anyway other than scientists.
