Why does green freeze faster? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

ok so yesterday I bought some otterpops and put them in the freezer

today I went to grab one, and only the green ones are frozen, but some of the pink ones are starting to freeze too.

WHY?

Var · 06-08-2005, 05:09 PM

maybe the other ones have more antifreeze in them. duhh!

mjjstang · 06-08-2005, 05:15 PM

im thinking it has nothing to do with the color but more of the ingredients used in the green. This comes after extensive research of dying water with different colors and then freezing, the water froze same time, didnt matter color.

Var · 06-08-2005, 05:22 PM

yes sir..different flavors have different ingredients. I think more sodium makes it take longer to freeze

theicecreamdan · 06-08-2005, 06:30 PM

well,,, my observations were incomplete, that was only on the first couple strips of otter pops i found,

now its been a few hours and Ive eaten about half the box and I have had a few unfrozen green ones, and most of the other colors are about equal in numbers of frozen and unfrozen otter pops.

but I have noticed that I have not had any frozen blue otter pops. and I also feel like I should eat something solid

bobafett · 06-08-2005, 08:57 PM

damn gotta get eat some of my otterpops now!

mine are all frozen though, i think they are from last summer lol

theicecreamdan · 06-08-2005, 09:02 PM

I just counted, ive had 50 otter pops today,

bobafett · 06-08-2005, 09:49 PM

hahaah man u are more addicted than me

i still havent gone downstairs to get any otterpops yet, but i think im gonna go grab some right now!

MakotoS13 · 06-08-2005, 10:47 PM

dude, step away from the otter pops. its like when i bought christmas tree cakes in bulk... then foiund out i didn't want em... then had like 40 boxes of em

***S14DB*** · 06-08-2005, 11:02 PM

it's the seaweed.

rokmplutonium · 06-08-2005, 11:22 PM

The Green's might be diluted more.

FastBack 240 · 06-09-2005, 12:00 AM

All taste horrible. Rather run after the ice cream man.

NZO · 06-09-2005, 01:18 AM

Otter Pops are gangster. You can get a big fucking case of like 100 for $8 at costco.

theicecreamdan · 06-09-2005, 07:20 PM

dude, we bought 2 boxes of 100 for 2.49 each at Rite aid, me and Chris have gone through the first box and are pretty far into the second box already... MMMM

Wal mart has an different type that have boxes of 250 for like 2 bucks.

TheRealSy90 · 04-27-2013, 04:26 AM

Bumping because I just had this same question pop into my head as i've been eating my box of 100 otter pops. I made the mistake of only putting a couple strips in the freezer at a time and noticed that each color takes slightly longer to freeze than the next. Green always first, then pink, blue last of course.

turbobrick · 04-27-2013, 09:40 AM

If you lay them out flat in the freezer they should freeze faster. The freezing time is probably due to the flavoring used.

This is the only time it is acceptable to bring threads back from the dead.

Holy thread from the dead! You must have been really bored to find this on page 19187382000877

This should be illegal......

But to answer the question, it probably has nothing to do with the ingredients and everything to do with how they were stored in the freezer. If they were wrapped together and the green ones were on the outside, they would be insulating the other pops, or if the green ones were in a colder part of the freezer, they would freeze quicker. Freezers are not a constant temp everywhere.

theicecreamdan · 04-29-2013, 06:19 PM

I'm honored.

No, it wasn't only green ones on the outside, and there were green ones frozen earlier than other neighboring colors in different parts of the box.

I wish there was room in my freezer for otter pops

TheRealSy90 · 04-29-2013, 08:53 PM

They are in the strips randomly so it's not like all the greens were on the outside. And they were all layed down flat as well. It's simply the different ingredients for the different flavors.

Finished my box of 100 yesterday. I think I took out 40 in the last sitting.

Shift n Drift · 06-24-2013, 08:35 PM

I think they freeze by the popularity of the flavors to piss people off that often check to see if the one they want is frozen.

TheRealSy90 · 06-24-2013, 09:10 PM

Just threw another box in the freezer. All bundled together randomly. Will come back with results.
