    Hubby put a 2 liter of Squirt on top of the fridge but he put it partly on the door. I opened the door and that 2 liter hit the floor. I cleaned sticky up for at least a month afterward!! Every time I'd think I had it all cleaned up I'd find another sticky spot.

    My daughter and I have even taken a few of them out in the back yard and shot them with the Red Ryder BB Guns and they blow up and look really cool when they do.

    But yeah if you bring hot sodas in the house dont open bump or look at them funny until they cool off and get back to at least room temp.

    Run cold tap water over them for one minute and presto you have a drink ready.

    I will have to try that!!

    I usually bring 4 or 5 two liter bottles in at a time and let them sit in the dining room behind the door. then when I get the last one to put in the fridge I will grab 4 or 5 more.

    That's kinda funny...reminds me of something we did at my house when I still lived with my parents.

    There's this video game we all used to play together on Wii called Mario Party (not sure if you're familiar with it), anyway one part of the game you had to shake the controller as hard and fast as you could and your little character was shaking pop - whoever's pop sprayed the highest one.

    So one day we had an 'unbirthday party' (I'll have to explain that to you later...) for my boyfriend and we decided to try the pop contest for REAL. So we all went outside and shook up cans of pop as fast as we could. Mom said go and we all opened them. They actually didn't go very high, but it was fun. Also, we then proceeded to dump them on each other and had to hose off...:D
