no it wont, but when i was in 7th grade my teacher put shaving cream in to this glass thing i believe it was called a dumbell or something like that and use suction and the shaving cream expanded and filled they intire glass container
While I'm not sure it'll make any difference at all...the myth as I read it (it was in Maxim magazine) was to freeze a can of shaving gel and put it in someone's desk. They said in the article that shaving cream wouldn't work. It had to be gel.
I'm not satisfied by you methodology here. You should have taken a regular can of shaving cream at room temperature, and sprayed it into a car so we could see how what the volume of foam there was.
The way I have heard the myth is that the can is dipped in LIQUID NITROGEN, so you are guaranteed to freeze the propellant as well as the foam. Then instead of cutting away the can, you merely puncture it, so than when the volatile propellant sublimates it then fluffs up the foam and ejects it from the can.
I think that would have been a better demonstration, though personally I doubt the final result will be much different.

If you want people -- especially those who haven't posted before -- to post in the correct group, then limit the labeling the specific topic, rather than having portmanteau titles. This thread should be titled "Shaving Cream in Car" -- AND NOTHING ELSE.
If you want to argue the physics does not exist in your world and that there really IS some way a treadmill can hold an airplane stationary the same way it can a car, then try the THIRD thread, the one that is ALREADY FIFTY PAGES LONG!
This thread is for explaining why shaving cream, that only expands 2 or 3 to 1, is not able to fill the inside of a car!
I will suggest they take this a expand on it for a mini-mythbuster segment.
Just to prove that a few cans would not fill a car with foam here's what they could do. it would make a fun little segment.
Take a few 5 gallon buckets and dump in to each bucket a full can of shaving cream and shaving gel and see how much of the bucket is filled.
From there they could figure out how many can's would be needed to fill up an entire car. I would say the logistics of that would prove the myth is pretty well busted on face value alone.
