I include myself in this, of course. See the bulge in that bottle? In late August, I went out shooting and bought that bottle of water, which I never opened. Upon arriving home, I put it in the freezer and forgot it. I found it the next day, a solid block of ice ready to split the container, and gave it to Tim, who was leaving for a night away. I figured by the time he arrived in Galveston, it would have melted enough for him to drink it.

At least it wasn’t a soft drink–over the years I’ve exploded my share of those in bottles and cans in the freezer. I’ll bet Lynne remembers the night her Sprite shattered in the freezer when we were having a sleepover as ‘tweens. That kind of noise when you’re telling scary stories: NOT FUNNY.

  1. I left a Dr. Pepper once in my car and it exploded all over the front seat, the dash, the doors, yikes, it was a disaster!

    I can be so absent minded and careless, I scare myself!

    1. I’m sorry about your car, but it’s always a little gratifying to hear I’m not the only one who does stuff like that. =)
