That was great. Glad you have a good sense of humor to laugh about it even while still dripping.
My mind must be in the wrong place. I kept hoping you'd say that the cashier was a good looking girl and the soda wetting her shirt... Well you know - if that had happened it would have made the whole thing even better to see.

Great story. What made it for me is not that the bottle exploded but how excited you got, knowing that there would never be another grocery trip like that one. In all seriousness, that takes a certain state of mind that I wish I had. Depending on the mood, I probably would have freaked the fuck out.
And I loved the comments on twins. Except for the Olsen Twins, you two are now officially my favorite twins ever.

Great story; the time it happened to me wasn't so good. Working in a supermarket, nobody even close to the softdrinks but me, at the far end of the aisle. A two litre bottle of reguar sugary coke just sitting there completely still on the shelf decides to explode at random. Sprays a whole two shelves worth of pharmaceuticals on the wall opposite with sticky syrup. I don't think they EVER got it all out.

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? |

Why would any sane person purchase DIET Pepsi, clearly the most evil beverage known to man, it's like Satan's Urine, except sugar free! Why you ask, why would a bottle of Diet Pepsi simply burst open, spewing it's horrific bitterness on all and sundry... This is a job for those people off that show 'Mysterious Ways', since no such thing happens by chance... Who was besmirched by the sickly artificially 'sweetened' Syrup of Satan? You, your girlfriend and the cashier, namely EVERYONE involved in the transaction... The Cola Gods were giving you a warning dude, it was Divine CocaProvidence, like in Pulp Fiction... And yet you chose to ignore that warning, and bought another Bottle 'o' Evil. I can only assume you're a Minion of the Dark Lord now, and your brother too... Like those evil kids in the Shining... |

Yes, I think we should all do this, it might even make the national news something like "Random Diet Pepsi bottles across the country explode in supermarkets" To the supermarket!

secondly, the most spectacular part of the entire story: i didn't get one drop of diet coke on me. lasereth, the cashier, the bagger and the entire candy asile was soaked, but i stood there in amazement without a drop of soda touching me. |
