S is for Soda Pop
I don't think I've ever seen my mom more angry than the day when my little brother at age three decided he was going to pour his cup of Sprite all by himself. He carried the bottle to the table, dropping it once or twice in the process. Carbonated pressure caused the bottle to literally pop! upon opening. My mom was none too happy to clean soda from the cupboards on the opposite side of the room, but she was livid about the sticky vaulted ceilings.

This reminds me of my jones soda green apple encounter.
A few years ago while at target I noticed this sweet deal on jones soda. It wasn't the glass bottle kind so I wasn't going to get it, but in the end decided to get the twelve pack of canned green apple soda to see if it was still any good if you were not drinking it from a sweet glass bottle. Well, I was carring my goods out to the car, I place the 12-pack on the top to put the other bags in the car and when I swung the 12-pack into the car I hear a large bang. What else to do but scream, right? I absolutely thought there had just been a gunshot. In that brief moment from swinging the 12-pack to screaming bloody murder I found myself completely drenched in green apple soda.
As it turns out a can was abruptly punctured by the pointy top corner of my door, no murder after all.
Oh, that sounds AWFUL. I did that a few years back in my apartment. It wasn't pretty...
Heh. About three years ago, there was a package of plastic-wrapped sparkling juice cans in the pantry. I couldn't get the plastic off, so I got a screwdriver and dug it into the plastic. It sure punched through that wrapping. And the first can. That was a mess.
