LPT: if you put a carbonated beverage in the freezer, forget it, and let it freeze solid, don't open it! Put it in the refrigerator for a few days to thaw out slowly. LifeProTips

Prompted by this TIFU.

The cold temperature allows it to defrost slowly without letting the pressure rise high enough to blow the can or bottle apart.

For optimum safety, put it inside a cardboard box, and put that inside a garbage bag that's tied shut . . . just in case.
