Explain this scientists

These two identical bottles of Coke were bought yesterday and put in the garage next to each other.
One was complete ice and the other was normal (the picture is about 2 hours later after defrosting).

Why? How?

There is an air hole in the left bottle/the bottle cap has not been seeled tightly enough.

well, they aren't full - had they been opened? in which case the answer is obvious.

I for one welcome our new Coke bottle freezing overlords.

The real mystery is, why have you opened 2 bottles when you haven't finished the first? ;D

The first one I opened while it was ice and the Mrs told me off for making a mess and the second one was the one I decided to drink out of.
Nothing sinister, just 2 unopened bottles bought at the same time and stored in the same place.

The bottle on the left smokes, boasts a large vinyl collection and goes to bed at 4am even on a school night. It is cooler.

LOL! The professor has called shenanigans on your experiment.

Are you trying to pull the wool over our eyes or summit?

Has one got a different top on??

He is only a professor of cheese, not of coke... he has no grounds for what he is saying

then its not that obvious

possibly different batches with slightly different amounts of CO2 or air in.
possibly one was ever so slightly in a colder are than the other.
or maybe a slight difference in the structure of the inside of the plastic bottle which made the formation of an initial seed crystal of ice more likely in one of them - once the first crystal forms the freezing would be rapid (if it was cold enough) - but if crystallisation doesn't start in the other bottle it could quite easily sit there below its freezing point and stay liquid.

Interesting, I like cheese, does it enhance the flavour at all?? cheese rocks

If you'd tapped on the unfrozen bottle when you first found it, the whole thing would have turned into solid iced coke. It's something to do with super-cooled liquids and the carbonates that get released when you tap the bottle that cause a chain-reaction where ice crystals form, or it might be just magic.
