Ok, last year I poured brita water into water bottles to freeze and use on a hot day.

Well when I took the bottle out of the freezer half of the water was not frozen, and the other half was in a gel like state. (that's really weird)

I said, whatever, and threw it out, and went on my marry way.

It just happen again today.

Any scientist types out there have any idea what's going on?

I have a video, it doesn't show much, the bottle of water was in the freezer for 20 hours and the ice looking stuff, is very soft, and mushy like gel. The 3 other bottles came out frozen.

Here's the vid

I am stumped. Brita filters are essentially activated carbon. You have definitely got some sort of reaction here, but I can't figure it out.

i remember last year my brother tossed a bottle of water in the fridge then showed it to me like 5(or so) hours later and the bottle looked perfectly normal until he opened it and it turned to ice....weird shit indeed!

Farmerdan69, That has never happened to me, but as I was looking on the net for my topic, I found yours, you witnessed what is called supercooling, and flash freezing.

I just watched videos from this site, and this looks pretty close to what my half frozen water looked like.
