Fantastic story. Hell, that's right up ther on my list with clavus's story about being locked out of his house. What great fun.
Those bottles can handle an amazing amount of pressure. While in high school, I took a typical job working at a grocery store, mostly because my good friend worked there, too. We used to take the bottles that had lost their labels and puncture a small hole in the screw top. Then we would shake the crap out of them until they were really charged up. The next part took some room and a little practice: we would turn the bottle upside down, then throw it off of our loading dock with a big arm swing so it would land squarely on the lid. The pressure blowing out of the hole would shoot the bottle about 25 feet in the air, with a beautiful trail of soda behind it. Many bottle even landed on the roof of the store. Ah. Who says grocery stores are dull?
