Pop...Pop...Warning!
It really started yesterday morning, when I decided to cool off a few Cokes for my day trip to Woodhaven. Had nothing in the refrigerator section, so needed a quick cool down. Naturally, put the warm cans into the freezer door of our side by side, and just as naturally forgot to take them out.
Last night as we were watching TV, DW and I hear two muffled explosions, and remarked that neighbors were starting early with fireworks this year.
This morning... i mean, you can't make this up... Total devastation... Not only did the cans explode (lengthwise), but the frozen soda shattered into ice crystals that went into every part of the freezer... door shelves, freezer grid shelves, and the walls, bottom basket, down the front and melted into the grate underneath, and the floor under the refigerator. Spared nothing.
Of course everything froze, so wiping up the mess wasn't simple. Had to remove all the frozen goods and then heat up towels to melt the crud off everything. Cleaning the walls was a major project all by itself, as the soda stuck like glue.
An hour+ later, a lesson learned. Next time, I'll be satisfied with warm Coke.
