:: Defeats the liquid capsule purpose ::
Science. I deny it!
It is still a liquid filled capsule.
Fluid dynamics teaches us that a frozen liquid is still a liquid at temperatures above absolute zero Kelvin (-273C). Please note, Hobbes is no where to be found at that temperature.
All attributes of a liquid are still applicable (Laws of Physics) only at a much slower “delta” (rate of change).
Think glaciers.
WOuldn’t ice balls tend to stick together when you put them in the paintball hopper?
Point made -- albeit a (slow-moving) fluid --NOT a "liquid".
The "liquid" state, -- thermodynamics teaches -- requires a temperature of at least 273 Kelvin (at standard pressure) -- PLUS addition of the latent heat of fusion...
Ain't science "funnerful"? <GRIN...>

Methinks clarification is in order. If the constituent molecules and/or particles are bound within certain locations +/- a certain amount of free play by potential energy considerations, we don’t have a fluid, but a solid, a lattice. Otherwise, by your definition (above absolute zero), both Kool-Aid and diamond alike, as well as copper wire, are “fluids.”
