Indeed they do freeze. I blew bubbles into freezing air and watched them turn to what essentially had the texture and appearance of plastic wrap in midair.

Make no mistake, they aren't going to suddenly crash to the ground as rugged ice sculptures. They are going to be just as insubstantial as before, but in a flaky sort of way instead of a fluid one.

Unfortunately, only a VERY small fraction of them maintained more or less their whole spherical shape. I guess once they start to go solid, and the air inside contracts (as it is air that comes from my LUNGS and so it's hot at first) as it cools off, they rupture. Possibly this would not happen if you blew bubbles with a fan and not your lungs, but I did not try that.

Good question, my compliments.

Yes, bubbles of water-based liquids (including root beer... yum!) will freeze. This is because the skin of these bubbles is a thin film of liquid and is therefore freezable. They are, however, immensely fragile!

bubbles dont freeze!!! Air trapped in and suspended in a Liquid form a bubble. you have a void in the ice or entrained air in a solid or liquid that has frozen.
want to read about something cool go read about solidfication where no pores or bubbles are in a solid. like metal, new fighter wings are made of this metal.

Maybe it depends what they are made out of. I have frozen edible bubble soap in the winter and eaten the bubbles. (Well, they melted when my hands would touch them).I just went outside when it was very frozen and blew bubbles.

No, I dont think so , because bubbles are in constant movement, and anything that is in constant movement is hard to freeze.

No because bubbles will pop before they freeze.

Yes, bubbles can freeze, but they most likely will pop before they freeze.

I really don' know if bubbles can freeze, but I do know that Rountrees can make them go solid, in their bars of "Aero" chocolate. !! xx

yes, drop dry ice in a bowl of water with a little dish soap. BRILLIANT!
