What happens when an unopened can of soda is left in the freezer overnight?
When I opened my freezer door early one morning a few weeks ago, this is what I found. Since Kyle was home visiting, I couldn't automatically assume Sam was to blame, so I waited until they got up so I could question each of them. They have both always loved doing hands on science experiments, but I thought to myself, "this is too much!"
Sam was the first to get up and wander into the kitchen. I asked, "Are you the genius responsible for the mess in my freezer?"
By the confused look on his face I already knew he wasn't the culprit. He responded, "What mess?"
I opened the freezer door and he peeked inside and said, "Nope, it wasn't me, but that is really cool!" Then with a sly grin on his face he chuckled and said, "Must have been Kyle."
Finally Kyle got up and made his way into the kitchen. Of course, I already knew he was the guilty party, but I still had to ask, "Are you the genius responsible for the mess in my freezer?"
His face immediately registered that he knew exactly what I was talking about. He stammered, "Um, maybe... let me take a look". I opened the freezer door and he peeked inside and said, "Wow, I put that soda in there last night to chill it and then forgot about it. I'm sorry. I will clean it up, but first let me get my camera and take a picture because that is really cool!"
I said, "Fine, but I have an idea...next time why don't you do this at your house and mess up your freezer instead of mine?"
To which he smiled and replied, "It wouldn't be the first time!"

Oooo...so you don't like messes in your freezer? :) Can't say as that I blame ya! But it is kinda funny.
I hope for your sake that Kyle doesn't try any more crazy experiments while he is home this time!

Hi Janis,
You are right, it was pretty funny!
The night before I discovered the can, Mr. L. and I were watching TV and heard a "POP". Our dog, Lucy, jumped up and started barking and we searched inside and out for the source of the noise! Needless to say we didn't think to look in the freezer! LOL
Thanks for the comment.
Ha Ha, that makes it even funnier!

Hmm, I see Janis beat me by only NINE DAYS to comment on this story.
So where do I begin?
First of all, at least the can I left in my own freezer in the past didn't explode! It was in there much longer than this can was, but it didn't actually burst. So I'm thinking that leads to a couple other science experiments - are soda cans getting weaker and/or thinner? Are different brands of sodas using different strengths of cans???
Second of all, nice pic of the mess!
Third of all, I think Sam was having WAY too much fun with my unfortunate situation! I would NEVER do that to him! :)
Fourth, am I really that easy to read that I immediately revealed I was the culprit? Oh wait, maybe so!
And finally, sorry again!

Okay,Kyle, here we go:
Yes you are way behind on commenting!
You are more than welcome to experiment all you want, JUST NOT IN MY FREEZER!!!
Thank you for the nice picture comment.
Yes, Sam did enjoy knowing you were about to be on the "hot seat". And of course you would do that to him!
You are very easy for me to read when you are guilty. Good for me, bad for you!
And last but not least you are forgiven.
