- In June 2016, Coca-Cola began testing Arctic Coke coolers in select Speedway Convenience Stores in Indianapolis. The cooler works with Coke, of course, but it can turn any drink into a slushy treat.
It's been 4 years now and Im just knowing that this exists
5 for me lol
5 years for me
I wanted to buy that little set up.
How does it works?
Daily Dose of Internet anyone?
Itz Ekam but that was just released a minute ago. How did you?
Itz Ekam Here
Haha
of corse, the only news for importent stuff
@@richardfauer7485 Yep
Chillingly awesome video! Please keep these videos refreshingly available for soda lovers everywhere.
If I knew where this machine existed in my city, I wouldn't hesitate to visit once a day. (I live about 100 miles South of Indianapolis (hint, hint, nudge, nudge).
When i saw it i was like TAKE MY MONEY AND GIVE ME THAT FREEZER
Can I give you 10 gold bars for unlimited amount of drinks and that freezer?
U can buy that freezer, that is vaccine refrigator that keeps vaccine in 1 to 5 degree celcius.
Where can i buy this
That will sell faster than you can fill it. Great idea.
Finally something useful people use their brains for.
*cough cough* $400 juicer
kronos hey! The juicero(tm) was a fine invention for people who want a glorified crusher that only works on licensed packs and won't crush packs that are out of date and for people who don't know that you can just buy mixed fruit drinks at stores like naked juice drinks for much cheaper than even just the packs!
Whoooosh
It's been 2 years and I still haven't seen one in the bay area
Jonathan Gonzalez same
There’s one in Pinole lol
Onphoerescanhere
Is this cooler available to the public?
Still no answer i guess
They don't even like you
@@salvadorontiveros219 what the. why?
@@fatkrab7556 joking.

You could just shake the coke. The button/plate just agitates the beverage. The trick is the temperature of the beverage.
Stewart Lang shake all the ones in the fridge
@@inflixo36 shake the fridge
Glad I'm not the only person who understands ice nucleation. Thank you.
Lol yea right nice try satan
Also this can easily be done at home with your own fridge.
There's one of these at a chevron gas station near my house, it's pretty *_cool_* ...
Seriously it's pretty great though.
tried it today at speedway on 31 and edgewood and it is the coolest thing I have ever seen
"Coolest"
Purple Magic yeah, "coolest". "Most cool thing" would be wrong. 5th grade grammar.
Kota It’s a pun
Just used one in little rock arkansas...best thing for cokes ever!!! I will buy a coke everytime i need a drink if this is around...awesome job coke
Chris Fisher - where at in Little Rock?
@@shirleymccool4177 between park plaza mall and target..right passed chick fil a the little gas station there on the corner (the only way you could get to target when they first opened before university had an entrance)
Also, there are videos online all over the place that show how to do this on your own. Technically you only need a little tap on the bottle to activate the tipping point into slush tho.
these are at like every gas station where I live! there so cool
perfect products for the summer
I want to have this one at my home
You do, it’s called a freezer
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
We need more.
I have done this with drinks in my freezer... even cooler when you open the bottle before it freezes like that and pour it out on an ice cube. It will instantly freeze as you pour it creating a frozen stalagmite :)
It’s been 3 years, almost to the day, and I still haven’t seen any in my state
I love this! I want, get my money now!. But you should make a retro version cool with led lights , vending machine for cans.
I know I shouldn't be saying this on a CC site.. but (back in the 90's) I would buy my Pepsi 2l and put it in the freezer as soon as I got home and then 20 minutes later pour out delicious Pepsi slush.. I was hooked..!
This machine probably causes an ice-crystal reaction with micro-movement or something of that kind. This has been done many years before as a bar trick where a cold bottle of beer that's been chilled to the freezing point, gets knocked against a table for example ,to let it freeze.
Yes... But that only works with pre frozen liquid... This supposedly works on even warm pop
@@Matt_E_96 no it doesn't, the guy in the video just said the cooler keeps the temperature below freezing.
The base you set the bottle in has high free vibration, causes the effect you mentioned.
@@Matt_E_96 Only toddlers and elderly Yinzers call it pop. It's either a Coke or it's Soda.
@@jakobe75 look up a chart on pop vs soda lol most call it pop
I can't wait to try arctic coca cola!
IT'S ABOUT TIME YOU DESIGNED SOMETHING QUALITY MADE....
we can't count the number of times going to our local stores and the coca cola slushy machines are out of order!
Finally fixed after 2-3 weeks but then theyre broke again with in a few months
Sorry to hear that. We'd like to look into this. Please give us a call (800) GET-COKE, Mon-Fri, 9a-7p EST, providing Reference #8008637850. Thanks for reaching out!
@@TheCoca-ColaCompany
Hmmmm maybe I should have made myself more clear :o) ....MOST UNFORTUNATELY you haven't placed any of these Coca Cola machines that are in this video here where I live in the middle eastern Ohio area. The machines I am talking about are the typical ones we see everywhere in our local country side stores and even in towns at the popular gas stations and such whereby they have slushy machines that I'm pretty sure are not the CocaCola brand or even affiliated somehow with CcaCola but yet these places have the CocaCola flavored slushies...but thanks for the courteous message trying to help :o)
Very cool! Literally!
Wow, its so sad that this has not taken off, I think covid might have had a hand in its slow adaption. Aparently in 2020 they put 800 in across the US the in C stores, whatever that is lol. Id love to try this! Coke please put up a shop at local distributors with one of these in it so people can at least drive a little ways to get one haha. Also it would be nice to have a actual coke store to buy from because its so hard to find certain beverages stocked sometimes and i bet we could get a great price buying direct
superchilled coke. Nice. The same happens if you leave a beverage in the freezer too long and it doesn't appear frozen, but as soon is it gets agitated...BOOM. Microwaved water can do the reverse under the right conditions. Glad they are trying to make a controlled environment for this treat.
I need this in new Jersey. Thanks
*I NEED IT SO BADLY*
This is just super cooling. The only thing that device does is use something to cause a nucleus point in the below 0° liquid. It's pretty neat to try at home. But not really a selling point if they're going for that. Great for getting perfect slushie sodas in geneal stores, so there's that benefit.
I look forward to trying this machine
You can also do this at home, when a drink is brought to below freezing temperatures it doesn't freeze immediately, because ice crystals need something as a base to form on, and the plastic walls just don't work for some reason, but when the bottle is being shaken it allows the co2 bubbles to form or introduces air into the liquid which gives the ice crystals something to grab ahold of and begin freezing the entire bottle, if you're gonna try this at home i recommend purified water, it takes longer to freeze over and gives you a nice window to do this, just make sure there are no air bubbles on the side of the bottle
Sure, bur most freezers are to cold. The trick here is a dedicated cooler set to the right temp for it to work evey time.
Back when I was a kid there was a vending machine at the barber shop that was set that' cold (glass bottles). Then open the bottle ensuing aL
It's been 5 years and no real deployment of this machine. It's unfortunate because i would like it too. For all the old school people who say you can do this in a freezer, yes but it isn't as fast and you can only enjoy it like that at home.
Supercool. But my old fridge does this every time i set it to cold. Miss that clunker.
I have looked at this machine and tried to figure it out a couple times. Never worked. Realized, every beverage on the cooler is already frozen and the plate you set it on doesn't work at all. Doesn't even get cold. I was super bummed so I just did the home freezer trick👍
I hope they make more of these I saw one in Singapore
Please bring this back!
Yoooo this came out 2 years ago and my town finally got one 😂
Put your coke in the freezer for about 15-30 minutes depending on temp. Take out then tap the bottom on a table or counter and rotate the bottle a few times gently. Don’t shake. Ice coke, etc…
I wanna buy this so badly!
Awesome bring them to Maryland’s eastern shore please !!!!! I get tired of putting my coke in the freezer and then forgetting about it uggg. Then it’s too frozen This is perfect love to have one of my own.
I need to buy one of these
they've got one of these machines in Nashville Indiana too.
where can i buy one tho?
Sir this refrigerator when launchd in India
Fantastic......
that is so cool!
Awsome idea i like it
I like it... bring it to Norway
We used to throw a Stoney Tangawizi or Pineapple Fanta (I don't think they were marked nanasi or piña, but pina or nasi?) in the freezer and tap the glass bottle gently on a hard surface from time to time until they turned to slush. Only once did we forget one in the freezer too long and found a burst bottle. That being said, they had the reusable (read sturdier) bottles in Tanzania. It's strange how far reaching Coca Cola is.
this is a pretty neat invention I don't live in Minneapolis but I'm wondering when they will actually have these Nationwide possibly even have a home version if they decide to do that again pretty interesting idea
jay hatcher we have one here in Portland Oregon, it's pretty awesome
Bring this to NY! It would BLOW UP!
All that development money to do something a simple tap on the edge of the counter will do.
The cooler next to the machine hyper cools the beverage, specifically redesigned bottles prevent crystal Catalyzation while stored in the cooler and the cylindrical machine off to the side just sends a sonic pulse through the beverage to catalyze the formation of the ice crystals. Unfortunately Coca-Cola has not actually found a way to hyper cool beverages instantly like a reverse microwave which would have been revolutionary. This is just a brilliant marketing ploy using a very popular science experiment.
So how did it do?
Man... I thought this machine was genius.. I was literally thinking of buying one.. I've done this before at my house. You set you fridge to cool drinks just before freezing point.. Then you smack the bottom of the bottle, it excites the molecules (Neucleation) causing your drink to turn to to Slush, all the machine does is vibrate causing the same effect as smacking the bottom of your bottle... What a let down.. I thought this was cutting edge breaking technology, feezing my warm beer to a nice cold chill.
oh my god! my mom would flip out!! there is Walgreens that is pretty consistent about getting icey cokes abd every time my mom gets one its like she won the lottery. oh man i hope there is one in driving distance soon
Please release this in stores
Thats crazy cool.
I really want to try this
We appreciate your interest in the Arctic Coke Machine! If you send us a DM with your zip code, we'd be happy to do a search for you. Thanks!
Can you get them in the UK?
where can i buy this thing
Send one to fall river mass. I love coke slushies
That went over well.
2016 I only found this now because of daily dose of internet and I want one in California right now
I have done this since I was a kid with a bottle of coke and and regular freezer
Should’ve put them in movie theaters!
What happens if u do it twice
Yo where I can find this? I wanna buy me one!
4 years later, whats the feedback?
I've tried this several times with the one we have at my local Speedway, but can't seem to make it actually freeze. Very disappointing, guys. I love Coca-Cola (Coke Zero is life) and having a way to superchill it on the go would be great, but not if it doesn't work... I've heard sometimes that if you superchill, shake, and open it, the coke will freeze instantly, and you'll be able to sip it as it chills. Must try this with more shaking, maybe that will work?
We have one at the St.Paul Student center of the UofMN. But it never works.
Cool idea though!
I can't seem to get ours to work. The staff is no help because they aren't familiar with it. I love my ice cokes. I put them in the freezer for just the right amount of time. Ours is on highway 90 in Long Beach, MS. It's a Circle K store near Jeff Davis Ave.
I think you have to put a bit of water in the bottom thing
No you don't. As long as the soda or water is just below freezing, you can flick it or (i think) break the seal on the bottle to agitate enough to start the process.
Maybe the fridge is not staying cold enough?
*where can we buy this*
I wish they had one in Boston
We’re do I buy this
That is Awsome.
Love it
what happened to these? gas station used to have it but i can't find it anywhere now.
They need to show the folks at my bodega how to set it up lol it's just a cold coke from start to finish lol. Hope to find a working one soon.
It's either because those cheap asses at the store cut the coolers up at night so tje machine doesnt have time to chill down. Or they are selling so many cokes that they do t have tine to chill them.
5years and I ended never seen any of these and I live in Indianapolis....
so how does it work?, vibrations to remove carbon atoms in the way? and a flashy light for add on effects?
it works the same way it would in your freezer with a beverage that is slightly more resistant to freezing than water is. That is, its easier with those, such as the schmirnoff ice etc - they have some alcohol in them - and freeze at a lower temp - so if you leave them in the freezer over night - and your freezer is set to a reasonable setting - when you open them they will freeze. It is called, ice nucleation I think. has to do with there being too few impurities in the fluid for it to have a place to start crystallizing at, but when you jostle it - you give it something it needs to start the process.
readyrepairs it works well for carbonated drinks, vibrations will cause the carbon to escape the system thus leaving only water and other ingredients for flavor. carbon atoms are responsible for the gaps so that it wont freeze at certain temp. too low and it will burst too high and it wont freeze. the trick is at the freezer it stays at a very specific temperature for maximum effects. the lights are just for flashy design.
I just saw this ona Daily Dose of internet I had not idea how old this was. I am guessing it didn't turn out that great.
Where can I purchase one of these?
What is the process to purches this product & how much price is it??
Thanks for reaching out! So that we may better assist you, please send us a private message with the country where you’re located.
They need to have it in Florida!
Daniel Torres De Luna ?
Head to Dominoes on the UCF Campus!
Everywhere
Scottish Person why dude? I'm being nice to you!
Scottish Person chill!
Just curious, if you started to sell these to the public what's the price for on of these?
That would work so well with Mello Yello.
i want the same machine at home that makes the coke slushies at 7-11, can I buy that???
Are they still there
What happens if you put your hand in
Part of the future:
Slushy machine
Alexa
Hover board
Etc...
awesome
Anyone know of any in Des Moines? The locator website is down
can I buy one
I saw it at sheetz and i didn't know what it did I thought it just made the pop look cool then I put the pop on the thing and pressed the button and it froze. I just put it back and pretended it didn't happen 😂
Make that five now !
Arctic coke!
Does this work on pepsi?
