Don't try this at home

Apparently if you go out to your car in the mid evening, when it's at least 10 degrees below zero, to get something out of the trunk, you might encounter ice.

Now, you may also wonder where this ice came from, seeing as it hadn't snowed, and there was no ice about 6 hours earlier when you got another something out of the trunk.

So you might think your wine bottle cracked and leaked... but then you realize that's not the case.

Then you see just how odd the ice pattern is in your trunk - on the tops of things, down below, basically all around. Very confusing, the source is still unknown.

While deciding how to proceed, you might stumble onto the problem:
A leftover can of soda from your recent car journey has frozen and expanded to such an extent that it blew all over the contents of your trunk (and ripped its top clean off)

After thinking this was really cool for about 12 seconds, you might get right to work & take things out and dump off the ice before tomorrow's melty temperatures...

[Note to self: unopened can of soda in freezing temperatures = ice explosion. Good to know]
