o.k. So we have the following info:

	cold soda can put in freezer is just right after one hour

	warm soda can put in freezer is a block of ice after one hour

What about

	warm soda can put in freezer for 30 minutes


Try that and see if it is "just right".

>	warm soda can put in freezer is a block of ice after one hour

Well, actually it's not a block of ice.  It has a big hunk of slush/ice in it.

>	warm soda can put in freezer for 30 minutes

A good experiment, but difficult.  You see the problem is that the reason I put
it in the freezer 1 hour before lunch is because I go down to the Wellness
Center and work out for ~ an hour and put the soda in on the way down.

As a good scientist, I should sacrifice either a workout or a can of soda in
this test, but the results won't help me much.  :-)

Another interesting observation: A couple of weeks ago I bought some soda
in 20 oz plastic bottles.  I left it in the car overnight during a cold
snap.  Next morning I notice the soda in the car, partially frozen.
I put it in the refrigerator, figuring by the time I got to it it would have
thawed.  But more than a week later it was *still* partially frozen, although
less so than before. But soda or anything else never freezes on its own.

Well, I suppose having still-frozen soda a week later isn't that surprising.

A refridge is about 35 degrees right ?

If it snowed a week ago, and it was about 35 every day since then, I
wouldn't be surprised to still see snow on the ground.

    I vote that you sacrifice a can of soda.  Put both a warm one and a
    cold one into the freezer before your workout.  You should try to
    determine whether putting a warm can into the freezer is perturbing the
    operation of the fridge more than the cold can does.
