Can You Store Coke in a Car Trunk in Summer?
1 Answers
Coke is not recommended to be stored in a car, and it is especially not advisable to keep it in a vehicle for extended periods during summer. Car trunks should not be used to store Coke: During the hot summer months, temperatures inside a car can soar above 40 degrees Celsius, which may cause Coke cans to explode. Items that should not be stored in a car during summer: Lighters contain fuels such as n-butane, isobutane, and propane, making them highly flammable and explosive. While high temperatures can enhance the chemical reactions inside lithium batteries, improving their performance, they can also trigger unwanted side reactions, leading to the degradation of electrode materials and electrolyte, thereby shortening the battery's lifespan. Glass items should also not be placed in areas exposed to direct sunlight. The concentrated energy from solar radiation can, over time, ignite the car's interior or other items inside the vehicle.
