Due to an f-up at work, I wound up having to drive to a client’s office to deliver checks. To get there I took a fairly hilly road (SR 303 for those familiar with the area). When I was at the crest of the third hill I heard a loud pop. For a split-second I thought it was a gun shot but I realized that the sound came from within the car. Before I had a chance to really think about what it was I heard another loud pop, and then what sounded like a shattering snowball.
I looked behind the passenger’s seat and saw what caused the noise. It seems there was a can of Diet Caffiene-Free Pepsi left under the seat from long ago. The can must have frozen when the temperature went below 10 degrees last night and then all the bumping around of the hilly drive caused it to explode.
Luckily it stayed cold enough for me to brush most of it out with my snow scraper.
Wow. This is the blog I was looking for…
