Just before setting down to lunch today, I set my jacket down on the grass. As soon as it touched down, I heard a distinctive hiss fwoosh sound coming out of it. Somehow the pop can I had in my pocket had exploded. Needless to say I was pissed off.

Send the Jacket to the Dry-Cleaners and be happy

Soda happens.
(There is an awkward silence between Raxmei and CommandoJoe.)

(Starts snickering.)
Get it?
(Raxmei gives CommandoJoe a quizzical look.)
(CommandoJoe bursts out laughing obnoxiously in Raxmei's face.)
GET IT?! AHAHAHAHAAAA!!! SHIT replaced with SODA! Haw!
(Slaps Raxmei on the back.)
(Raxmei looks at CommandoJoe as if he were insane.)

That's nice, but it was a can of pop that exploded, not soda. Pay closer attention next time.

I thought aluminulm would be stronger than that. But, what do you expect when you throw it against a wall 10 times? I once threw a pop can on the floor many times, and it eventually started leaking.

So why the hell did you have a coke in your pocket?

Where else would I put it?

In your hand? Your back pack?

I usually carry it in my HAND, I'm probably in the majority on that one. Also, I think you missed my little jab at you there.

This is almost certainly a demonstration of Henry's Law in action. As the Soda warmed up, the dissolved carbon dioxide in the can became less soluble, creating more pressure on the interior of the can. Add to this the natural effects of a rising temperature on a gas (and a liquid, which undoubtedly contributed with water vapor) and the pressure in the can grew to the point where it could break through the can itself.

It actually was a Coca-Cola that exploded, so I thought you had somehow read my mind. As for hands, mine were full putting down my jacket and backpack at the time.

Well, you have several fingers, right? It only takes so many to grab onto something (especially considering the opposable thumbs...)

Then speak for yourself, humanOID.

:: smacks verilon :: the world in your mind doesn't count! But you should always check your jacket pockets before sitting down on it (I should know, got a very nasty surprise when I broke the statue I made in art class that I was carrying in my pocket... suffice to say cooked clay doesn't stand a chance against 200lbs of weight... good thing for glue!)

I threw a can of coke off the roof of a seven-story building onto concrete once. The blast was most impressive.
