Heres one for ya: Recently at work, people have been returning 24 packs of Pepsi products with half full and empty "sticky" aluminum cans, that are 100% unopened. You can shake these bad boys and nothing will drip or seep put, yet the case is covered in pop that somehow "escaped" from the cans. Its been happening 2-3 times a day...and i cant figure it out
I had a can like that in a pack last week. I just figured it was handled to rough. I don't think it froze or the can would have been distorted. Let me know when you slove the mystery.
Jm, What we DO know is that Pepsi tried going to a thinner metal to reduce costs, and they have since went back to there old cans. Doesn't show how the pop can "escape" an unopened aluminum can though?
Well being in the geography/GIS field this has already been mapped. For your entertainment pleasure a very nice thematic map showing who calls their carbonated beverage what. For us in NW Mo it's pop.
Damn thats accurate :D Still doesn't explain how sugary-carbonated substance can escape a sealed aluminum can
There has to be a pinhole in it somewhere, like you said, if the can is literally sealed the coke doesn't escape.
Those cases of soda are rejects from Pepsi's bottle house. They were only half full at the time they were sealed. Probably a machine malfunction. In any case they made it past inspection and onto the shelf. My granfather owned a small brewery, and I remember as a child seeing those half filled cases of soda and beer stacked on pallets to be thrown away. Oh yea....they were always covered in stickey soda.
It's "pop" to me, but I understand those who use soda. Now people that call it coke, regardless of what brand or flavor.... You see from that map why we pick on the south :D
Very informative! :D Here's a link so you can look at your county. http://popvssoda.com:2998/countystats/total-county.html
