Explosion

I had an interesting night last night, below is a portion of an email I have just composed to send to the supermarket ASDA where I buy my groceries:

I had the very disconcerting experience last night of awakening to the sound of an explosion in my kitchen. I went in to investigate and found that a bottle of ASDA diet coke had exploded out the bottom of the bottle in my cupboard. It was one of a four pack which had not been opened. As you can imagine this caused considerable damage to the other grocery products in that cupboard not to mention a huge mess! I'd just finished cleaning it up when a second bottle from the four exploded. I quickly undid the lids on the remaining two bottles. The first bottle exploded at 3.45am and then next at 4.10am.

The coke had been purchased on Tuesday 19/08/2008 and had not been shaken or in other way strangely handled. I had simply purchased it from the Doncaster ASDA, put it in my car, driven home, then put it away in the cupboard. The cupboard is just a normal cupboard where I keep coke and other grocery items.

I guess it was an interesting way to provide their customers with the wakeup without having to consume caffeine hehe :)
