Olijnyk Two off-the-cuff suggestions, probably needing refinement: Small pieces of meat (or fruit, even) on a counter, in the fridge, or in the freezer; how long does each stay fresh? Put 8 oz. of water in one small balloon, and 8 oz. of high-proof (rubbing?) alcohol in another. Draw a 2" line or circle on each and put both in the freezer. See which expands more.
