Multiple choice general knowledge

In the weightlessness of space a frozen pea will explode if it comes in contact with Pepsi.

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

This is pure nonsense with no scientific basis. In microgravity, carbonated beverages do behave differently - gas doesn't separate from liquid the same way, and liquid can form spheres. But a frozen pea would not 'explode' upon contact with Pepsi. The pea would slowly thaw, and the carbonation might cause some bubbling, but no explosive reaction would occur.
