Arctic Coke machine turns a bottle of Coca-Cola into a slushy in seconds. A shopper selects a 20-oz. bottle from the Arctic Coke cooler, which keeps the beverages at a temperature below freezing, and places it on a platform. The shopper then can push a button to have the machine vibrate the bottle, forming ice crystals in the drink within a second.
The machine holds 70 bottles, which are chilled to below 30 degrees Fahrenheit (compared to 45 degrees Fahrenheit in a traditional cooler).
Coca-Cola research and development has been working on the Arctic Coke project for decades, partnering with Supercooler Technologies. A team of NASA engineers with expertise in cryogenics developed the chilling and proprietary technologies which keep drinks on the verge of freezing and then create the slushing effect.

“Coca-Cola R&D worked on Arctic Coke for months, in partnership with Supercooler Technologies Inc. of Orlando, Fla. The technology keeps drinks cold enough to be on the verge of freezing.”
“In June 2016, Coca-Cola started testing Arctic Coke coolers in a number of Speedway Convenience Stores in Indianapolis. The cooler works with Coca-Cola, of course, but it can turn any drink into a slushy treat. The test in Indianapolis features Coca-Cola, Sprite and POWERADE Mountain Blast.”
”When you pull a bottle from the Arctic Coke cooler, it goes on a little platform that hides a device that, in simple terms, vibrates the bottle. With a press of a button, an invisible shiver goes through the drink, and ice crystals form in an instant.”
