No you won't "definitely won't forget this time"
I'll just boil water for hot tea instead... where'd all my water go?

Bonus points if it's contained in a pressurized aluminum can.
Expect: "What the heck was that boom?!"
I hope it was seltzer instead of soda.
I've been using the "kitchen timer" function on my microwave non-stop since I found it
I do the same thing by only putting my drink in the freezer when I'm cooking something else on a timer like in the microwave.
❌ Randomly when I just want a cold one?
✅ When I'm making a hot pocket.
I'll remember because by the time I put it in there I'm close to dying of thirst, but still won't drink something at room temp. So forgetting and then remembering my crippling dehydration is generally a pretty good egg timer for it
Get a drink with more alcohol in it. It will survive longer
Roughly 1 degree below 0°C per degree (percent) of alcohol is the rule of thumb I was taught
FUCK I put a snack in the freezer like... 5 days ago? And completely forgot about it until now
This will happen again I can't fetch it right now
I’ve forgotten about thin mints in the freezer for so long that I had purchased another pack the next Girl Scout cookie season and only found them when I put newly purchased package in the freezer.
Jo when you home buddy? Set a timer.
This. I put protein shakes in the freezer bc they taste better the colder they are. They aren't good though if you freeze them then let them thaw, so it's a pretty high risk game. I try to remember to set a 30 minute timer on my phone whenever I do it.

I've learned the hard way (multiple times) that if beverage goes into freezer a timer of one hour MUST be set on my phone or smart speaker, because I gaslighted myself into believing it's illegal to put drinks in the freezer and if someone finds out I'll be arrested.
This is genius!!

Know thyself and set a timer. I don't allow myself to do stuff like that without setting an alarm.
Beep, beep, beep,
Beep, beep, beep,
What's that for, again?
Better turn it off
I’m gonna turn it off now, and get to it right away. Where does the burn smell come from?
MultiTimer for Android and iOS: Set as many labelled timers as you like.
Android (not sure about iOS) you can also label your native alarm app alarms.
Can recommend 👍👍
"Why does it smell burnt? I am sure I set a timer!"
"Hey Google, set a 20 min reminder*, 'drinks in the freezer'"
20 mins later Google will notify "Brinks the breezer" but hopefully that's enough to remind me.

20 minutes later: silences timer because I’m too focused on something else.
2 days later: … crap.
I have graduated to even screwing up my timers. Now the timer doesn't get silenced until the thing it is timing gets accomplished. Unless I'm distracted and fail to use that rule, then it's back to square one of course.
Edit: whoops, two people already said basically this. Guess I'll leave it

Bomb has been planted.
My ex. Never me. I'd drink soda warm before id risk it bursting.
My ADHD absolutely can't handle that clean up.
If you get lucky it supercools before freezing and the shock of the vessel breaching is enough to freeze the rest of it mid-explosion. The one time I've had a bottle burst (luckily the cap gave way first), that happened and I was left with a bottle with frozen liquid holding the cap a few cm above the bottle and minimal dripping.
It's even faster to put it in ice water and the worst that can happen if you forget about it is your drink gets warm again.
Add salt to the ice water so it melts colder and it will cool your drink faster.
You mean my roommate wasn't trying to make beer slushy all over the freezer daily?
No I wasn’t
Now try something in the oven.
YES, A TIMER IS NECESSARY!
Me: I'm gonna season and dry the wok for a few minutes while I do the dishes.
does dishes
walks out of room.
air quality alert from filter goes off saying bad air quality.
Shit the wok!

That's why I always set a 1 hour timer. Or I will definitely forget.
Sometimes I set a timer and when it chimes I've already forget what it was for lol
On most smartphones you can give titles to timers.
instinctively silences timer without addressing what the timer was for

B and C. Nothing should be on Facebook.
So many exploded cans and bottles in my youth but also the magic when you got it and your coke was in slushie form and then you added booze.

get a wife. you leave one drink to long in the freezer a few dozen times and they never let you live it down.
Obviously it won't work for cold drinks, but for warm drinks, I got my wife a few of these:

She still forgets her drinks, but now when she finds them, they've usually maintained the desired temperature.
I have timers/alarms for everything. At least one hundred.
I didn't forget but I put it all the way in the back to speed up the process and ended up with a slushy
