This Is What Happens When A Woman Carrying A Bowl of Ramen Steps Outside in -40 Degrees Celsius

Living in sub-zero temperatures makes it impossible for some people to enjoy a hot bowl of ramen or a cup of coffee outside in the cold, snowy air. People are posting videos online of how a steaming hot dish of noodles or a hot cup of coffee suddenly freezes out in the open when the temperature drops several degrees Celsius below zero. In order to discover what kinds of “food art” may be created when food is left out in the open throughout the winter, some individuals have started experimenting with different meals and beverages. A large number of these images and movies are from regions with sub-zero temperatures, such as Yakutsk, Russia, and Alberta, Canada.

The aforementioned films have captured the attention of many, however many others are criticizing the “frozen food art” videos for encouraging food waste. An Instagram user made this point when they said, “Can we please stop wasting ramen.” “I know you can reheat and eat, but in the midst of cost increases and shortages, I’ve really been bothered by food art,” another commenter said. Can you find another way to divert the crowds yet?”

A glaciologist and astrobiologist stationed at the Concordia Station in Antarctica, Cyprien Verseux shared a number of images of different frozen dishes on Instagram in 2019. His pictures demonstrated how cracking eggs would freeze suspended in midair or how honey would freeze in midair as he attempted to spread it over toast.

A video showing a guy in subzero weather tossing a dish of boiling water into the air went viral in February 2016. The water changed into snow as soon as it touched the air. David Freiheit uploaded this video in mid-February while on vacation in St-Donat, Quebec, Canada. He wanted to show off the Mpemba effect, which states that warmer water freezes more quickly than colder water.

Boiling food, such noodles or hot tea, causes food to immediately freeze because, as National Geographic explains, “tiny water droplets start to vaporize because they’re so hot.” However, the water condenses because colder air cannot store as much water vapor as warmer air. The water droplets rapidly freeze in the very low conditions, falling as crystals of ice.”
