Now that was weird..

[Gil T.Azell]

I came home one night last week and my kitchen counter was wet and had pop all over it.
It turns out the can of "Buzz Cola" (from the movie promotion) I had sitting on top of the cupboard sprung a very, very small pin hole leak in it and it dripped and ran down the doors, the top is still sealed?
Has anyone had a similar thing happen.

No, but once I was startled by a loud explosion from my refrigerator that upon inspection turned out to be a coke can exploding grenade style due to the temperature being too low. Quite messy.

I just heard my toilet seat fall down.

I don't drink much soda but sometimes I will get a 12 pack of orange Crush. For the past few months, the sodas have tasted really flat to me, and I have opened several cans to discover that they are only half full of soda, although none has leaked out. Not as interesting as your story, but since we were on the subject of strange soda I thought I would share.

What ever happened to diet coke with lemon? I loved that stuff so much. Now they have regular coke with lime and I like it but seriously that diet coke with lemon was great. They should bring that back.

Had to read that twice -- at first I thought you wrote it had poop all over it.

^No, that would be a Jayson thread.

When I was a young man back in the early 80s, I worked in a warehouse and would keep a six-pack or two of Pepsi in my car so I would have a can for my lunch every day. One day that first Winter, I got a six-pack on the way home and left it on the front seat overnight-- and it got very cold that night. The next morning, I sleepily went out to my car, got in and freaked out. There was a giant sparkly brown monster sitting in my passenger seat. Well, I quickly determined that it was actually an ice sculpture formed by the cans exploding and the contents freezing in a rather monsterish shape. One of the weirdest things I ever saw; too bad I didn't have a camera at the time.

I have a nasty habit of throwing beers in the freezer to cool them off quickly and then forgetting about them.

For years, we kept our liquor in a kitchen cabinet. Once while no one was home, a bottle cracked and the alcohol started dripping, eventually onto the gas stove. Thank God my husband happened to come home in the nick of time, so the fire didn't spread beyond the kitchen.

Did it freeze quickly enough that you were able to easily lift it off without it leaving too much of a stain behind?

... I had sitting on top of the cupboard sprung a very, very small pin hole leak in it and it dripped and ran down the doors, the top is still sealed?

Clearly, someone tried to inject it with poison, and forgot to reseal the hole.

Mmmmm . . . Beersicles!

I squirreled away a case of Pepsi Throwback only to discover it leaked all over my pantry.

Me too.


And last week I had a can of shaving cream spring a leak in the middle of the night. I woke up and stumbled over to find it filling my medicine cabinet with foam.

It was very fragile, but I was able to lift it out of the passenger door in one piece and toss it in the snow. I had to clean sticky stuff off the seat, but I couldn't do it until the car warmed up and it thawed.

This is by far the most entertaining winter story I've read in a long time -perhaps ever.

No it would have done it sooner, the can has been on the top of the cupboard for a long time. I'm guessing it a very thing walled can or a high acid content in the soda??
either way I'd of never drank it as its waaaayy past the shelf life.

Once I was making tacos (a long time ago, when I'd first joined the TrekBBS and still lived in a motor home) and propane apparently built up under the burner I was using. Things reached a head, the explosion blew the bottom out from underneath the pot and hamburger flew all over the place.
