Clean up on Isle 12!
 
So, Joanna and I are sitting on the couch tonight when all of a suddon a large BOOM! goes off.

I knew what it was after about 10 seconds. I run to my igloo cooler sitting outside in our breezeway. We had a party a few weeks ago at home and I left a cooler full of beers, cokes, water bottles and 3 home made ginger ales.

1, just 1 of the 3 ginger ales decided that it wasn't happy to be in the bottle.

The carnage from that one bottle was pretty epic. Glass shards from the first bottle ripped apart 4 beers, the other 2 ginger ales, 3 coke cans, 4 water bottles blew the top open of the cooler, stuck shards of glass in the ceiling of the breezeway and peppered 20" around the cooler with shrapnel.

Oh it also ruined the cooler. Glass shards embedded in the walls of the cooler.

The bottle that started it actualy TWISTED apart counter clockwise.

Now, If you do make homemade gingerale PLEASE follow the directions. DO NOT USE GLASS.

I have had this same experience while home brewing when I overdid the priming sugar. Serious carnage.

My dad did rootbeer one year. For some reason he stacked the bottles on top of the furnace. Their house smelled like rootbeer for a week.

Would that be some form of picnic IED?

I've had a similar experience with home-brewed beer!

Wow. Sounds a lot worse than a Pepsi left in the freezer.

Lucky no one was near it when it went off.

Damn... It seems like a lot of damage from one bottle.
