Exploding coke bottles?

[cloudy]

To go along with the 4th theme we have going...

The last two weeks I've had TWO 2-liter coke bottles explode in my cabinet. They weren't shook up, they were just.....sitting there. Both times it's been in the middle of the night, and both times it woke me up - no shit, it sounds like someone's fired a damn shotgun in the house, it's that damn loud. Both of them blew out at the bottom.

The mess is horrible to clean up in the morning, not to mention sticky as hell, and attractive to the tiny black pissants that infest this area.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Long-repressed sexual frustration?

That would be me exploding, then.

Someone is teleporting Menthos into them?

hey, I took a shot...

Cloudy,

I can't even think of a reason for this.

I can make a two liter soda bottle explode without pyrotechnics but this involves adding a large amount of Dry Ice. (Makes an impressive bang by the way.)

Even shaking them wouldn't do this.

You know...after Vana's supernatural thread, I've wondered if maybe it is me making them explode.

After all, radios/tv's/etc. will turn off an on by themselves around me...maybe it's my emotions finding another outlet.

Who knows?

I feel like I can't make the appropriate joke that Zade could make here.
*Insert Zade's saucy vixen humor with accompanying devil face here*
*Oh, and one of those green grinny faces, too*

Hey could be.

You are hot enough to warm them just by being next to them.

Injection molded plastic bottles are prone to failure if improperly formed, then the contents (ie: Coke) added under pressure. Could be you had part of a bad batch.

or

Poltergeist activity is somewhat attributed to a physical manifestation of pent-up emotions (often adolescent).

Any flying books or coffee cups to accompany those exploding bottles?

Hey I keep telling you where I live. (I have asbestos Shorts, I was a firefighter after all.)

Come here and I'll show you just how hot you are.

It is you, cloudy.

The only solution?

Get some lovely sex toys, turn on your webcam and get to it.

We'll all watch and make certain everything is um, ok.

Bad bottles, probably. Do you get coke regularly and do you keep them for long?

Interesting outfit, btw

Sounds like deffective bottles. Just a guess, but the plastic is injected into the mold at the bottom of the bottle and for a lot of reasons (wrong temperature, pressure, etc,) "flow streaks" which are weak streaks in the plastic can occur near the injection point. Drink bottles get slammed around a lot in shipment and handling which could further weaken the stressed plastic. A little extra pressure and the bottles could break.

The loud noise, however, sounds like there was a lot of pressure inside the bottle. I don't have a clue about that.

the easiest way to explode them is to take refrigerated bottles then warm them up, something that probably happened in the store, then refrigerated them again, and warm them again, then a nice air conditioned car, then as it warms up in the cupboard it explodes.

Nice to see you back.

 

[SensualMale]

Nice to see you back.

Thank you. I'm still going back and forth

I haven't forgotten or lost your detailed reply sometime back to my questions btw. I've just gotten a little busy with life in general.

And, It's a sign to stop drinking coke Try something else.

C;oudy:
I would write [e-mail?] coke and describe the problem. They undoubtedly have an exploding bottle guy who is an expert. Plus, you might be able to work them for a few free 2-liter replacements.

sodacide?

I think your soda really wanted to be ginger ale and just couldn't live with the lie any longer.
