It's also what just happened in my kitchen.
I had purchased a bottle of generic brand fizzy flavored water to try to take me back to the glory days of my freshman year of college and the Clearly Canadian water* that was at least 70% responsible for me making it through. (And 95% responsible for one of my favorite stories ever*****) I should point out here that the water had been comfortably sitting in it's bottle on the floor where we keep everything else we have to drink** for about 3 hours. I then picked it up, moved it to the counter, and left it there for about 5 minutes while I put ice in a cup****. Finally, I twisted open the cap, expecting a bit of a fizz up but nothing too dramatic. Boy was I wrong. It fizzed. A lot. I saw this happening and tried to lift it so that it fizzed into the sink........incorrect decision. As I lifted it, the water shot out the side of the cap at me, the refrigerator, and the section of carpet about 3 feet away. So now the kitchen AND me are sticky. Fan-freaking-tastic.
*If ANYONE can tell me where I can still buy this stuff in the US as per the implications on that website I'll immediately grant you any one wish that is within my ever reaching powers to grant.
**Against my will, I should add. I do my darnedest to clean the corner of the dining room up, but somehow stuff just keeps magically re-piling there after every trip to the store.***
***It IS
****Shutup, the sink was full of dishes from dinner and I had a hard time refilling the tray since I'm ridiculously OCD about all the trays being filled to the same height.
*****One night my freshman year, Haru and I had taken a walk to get either a movie or a video game or SOMETHING like that from the video place. While we were out, we stopped and bought some Clearly Canadian waters (because they were life sustaining) and Haru had some sort of sour liquid candy thingy that they sold at the video place. We went back to the dorm and were in Haru's room watching said video (or I was watching said video game being played....the specifics aren't important.) Haru was sitting on his roommate's bed since Haru had the top bunk. His roommate happened to be out with some folk because it was his birthday. Haru got the brilliant idea that he should take a drink of the sour candy then take a drink of the fizzy water and see what happened. What happened was that the water fizzed all over his lap AND his roommate's bed. So Haru, being the nice, quiet, resourceful guy that he is, went and put new sheets on the bed. Just as he was finishing up, his roommate came home. Haru just turned around, looked at him, and said, "Happy Birthday, Rock. I changed your sheets." Rock's reply: "Thanks." *long pause. Look over to me sitting in the chair.* "Hey! Wait, why?!" True story.
