Default Re: Why did this happen? (science question)

There probably weren't any nucleation sites for the ice crystals to start forming. The aeration caused by shaking would provide some. Everyone knows water freezes at 0C, what most people don't know is that water freezes at -41C in the absence of nucleation sites.
