[jvnhwotv] Ice cubes in soda pop

Drop an ice cube made of colored water into a clear sugary soda.  Two forces oppose: Cold water melting off the ice wants to sink because the cold water is denser than warm water.  But non-sugary water melting off the ice wants to float above the more dense sugary soda.

The currents induced by rising bubbles of carbon dioxide coming out of solution might also affect things.
