That sounds like a handy tip.

… why is there a packaged hand in that freezer? Am I the only one noticing this?

Great website
Lol I forgot .zip is a TLD now.
Such a bad idea
I’m not allowed to open zip files
Came here to ask that too… is it really supposed to be a joke, and that’s it?
I really have to hand it to your superior powers of deduction at this point.
In my defense I’m not the sharpest tool in the wetlands.
That’s the other tip: Stock up on hands. You could get frostbite from handling all those frozen bottles and need to chop your hands off.
You are the only one. All I see is water bottles.
The real question is why is there bar code on the package hand. That almost sounds like the bought it at a store.
Store bought saves a lot of time.

You’re the only one missing the joke
You should probably give them a hand in understanding the joke
Yes
Mmm…finger food…

Always keep a spare hand around, you don’t know when you’re gonna need an extra hand
Handy after a hurricane
Sometimes I like to boil all my water at the start of the month and then freeze it, to save time when cooking pasta. Always hate having to wait for water to boil first.
Funny enough boiling water freezes faster in theory.
I’m far too lazy to look this up. Is this the sort of interesting fact I might mention in conversation to appear clever without somebody quickly correcting me and making me look silly?
I’ll do you one better and give you the name of the phenomenon.
Worth mentioning that the effect is barely observable under controlled conditions. To the point where the existence of the effect is in doubt.
So it’s the perfect conversation starter, is what you’re saying?
Thats not proven. Its still highly disputed between scientists
Non-hurricane everyday tip: Put a 1/3 to 1/2 full water bottle in your freezer upside down. Once it’s frozen keep it in the freezer right side up so that the ice is suspended in the top of the bottle. If you ever open your freezer and see the ice back in the bottom of the bottle it means your freezer has lost power long enough to thaw, and you may need to throw some food out.
I’ve personally found this tip to be extremely handy.

Used to do this with our big chest freezer. It’s a good tip. High five!
Also works to put a penny on the surface of a frozen container. The indicator is if the penny is in the ice, instead of on the ice.
But anyway, I like your suggestion.
When doing that, full them only to 80-90% to avoid them bursting while freezing

I didn’t even see it until coming to the comments…
Should be NSFW 🥹
Wouldn’t the loss of cool air from opening the fridge repeatedly negate the benefit of doing this? Or would one simply remove multiple bottles at once strategically over time? I admit, this sounds like an interesting idea; just not sure what the “most-correct” strategy would be for extending food preservation.
The thermal mass of the air is negligable in comparison to that of the bottles. Thats why generally filling your fridge with random stuff is actually beneficial because once they are cooled down it will decrease the loss of energy whenever you open the fridge.
As someome mentioned, the thermal mass of water is way higher than air, but also, this is the problem that deep freezers solve! Afaik, deep freezers open from the top meaning the cold air does not flow out when you open it. That saves effeciency on your heat pump.
Another neat thing you can do depending on where you live is set a timer on your deep freeze so it only turns on at night. This benefits you if you get charged electricity depending on the hour of the day, meaning you are charged nore during peak hours. Since the deep freeze has high thermal mass and low energy transfer, it stays cold all day.
not sure where you are from but there are also deep freezers that look like fridges. they also don’t run the compressor the whole time, so there is no need to only ‘turn them on’ when electricity is cheap (which, from a european pov is all ghr time in thr USA). if they get above a certain threshold, they turn on and then off again when reaching the target temperature. that usually takes about 10 minutes. if you only turn it on at night it might be running way longer than when it’s on the whole time…
The most important thing is to keep your hands cold.
“most correct” would be to never ever open the fridge.
Obviously as you need things in it, you’ll have to open it.
I can’t read the best before date on the hand, but presumably you’d want to open that freezer as little as possible.
I did this but the power never went out. I don’t drink bottled water, but my freezer is full of them now now. Do I just defrost them all in a big pot or something?
Well what you could do is try hand ing them out to your neighbours.
Water? Like from the toilet?
no, from perspiration. salty!
if you used hot water just empty a bottle in a pot and cook a nice warm soup with the frozen hot water
DIY power outage?
Can confirm this is legit because of the Publix spring water
Kira’s fridge
Such a beautiful duwang.
My name is Yoshikage Kira. I’m 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don’t smoke, but I occasionally drink pre-frozen water from my fridge. I’m in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of frozen water and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I’m trying to explain that I’m a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. I am also always prepared for hurricanes, thanks to my frozen water in the fridge. That is how I deal with society, and hurricanes, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight, I wouldn’t lose to anyone, especially not hurricanes, thanks to my frozen water in the fridge.
I’ve done this for 20 years for my cooler at festivals. Freeze 2L bottles of water for ice blocks. Drink said water after they defrost.
I freeze half filled bottles. And fill them later on when I need cold water.
