so my boyfriend and i love sparkling cider. we tend to get it for special occasions. it just so happened that on thanksgiving, the store was completely sold out, so i got one, but he didn't, and he was big sad about it.
so yesterday, he went and bought more. two more, one for me, and one for him. these drinks were supposed to go with dinner, a homemade smoked brisket. i was excited for the food, he was excited for the food, and we both completely forgot about the sparkling cider that he put in the freezer. they were SUPPOSED to be in the freezer for about a half hour so they'd be nice and chilled for dinner.
well, they were in there for far longer.
so enter today, when about 45 minutes ago i got hungry and finally pulled myself off my phone and out of bed so i could stumble into the kitchen to make food. i opened the freezer to find this.
i was REALLY confused at first. like "wait, what is this mess? why is there foam in the freezer? and then i had a cartoon-esque flashback of my boyfriend holding one of these bottles out to me the evening prior, excitedly telling me he bought two of them. and the lightbulb flash went off and i was like 'OH YEAH!'
leaving the freezer door open, i immediately turned on the water and let it slowly warm up to boiling hot temperatures so i could stick my hand and a sponge in the frozen foamy mess, where i proceeded to pull out shards of glass after shards of glass, sticking everything into the sink first. then i had to pull out other packages of frozen food to try and find all the stray shards of glass before carefully throwing away the bottle. i ended up with a battle scar somewhere in the process, i don't know when. i just looked at my hand and was like "oh, is that blood? am i bleeding? yeah, that's blood."
the other bottle THANKFULLY did not explode. but it is frozen and leaking, and i am leaving it in the sink to let it slowly melt and hopefully keep it from exploding too. because wow we don't need that.
but the moral of the story is, don't leave fancy drinks in the freezer overnight. they don't like it and will find creative ways to let you know they hate the cold.
