From Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town, by Cory Doctorow 2005, Tor Books (ISBN: 0765312786):

"Why? Plenty of drunk bartenders. It's not a hard job." Krishna spat. "Big club, all you're doing is uncapping beers and mixing shooters all night. I could do it in my sleep."

"You should quit," Alan said. "You should get a better job. No one should do a job he can do in his sleep."

I'd always imagined a glass bottle full of water "exploding" as it froze to be a sort of a slow-motion process.

Judging from the height of the splash marks inside my fridge-that-gets-confused-and-thinks-it's-a-freezer, and the distance between the top halves and bottom halves of the bottles, it appears I had seriously underestimated the violence of the phenomenon. (Perhaps the presence of sugar and carbonation (which should have lowered the freezing point, n'est-ce pas?) added to the violence?)
