Just How Far Can Coke Spray???
Decorating By Brandonsmommy Updated 23 Jul 2007 , 12:38pm by Brandonsmommy
Well let me tell you FAR..................VERY FAR!!! 
I just dropped one, the ENTIRE can was empty! I hit the ceiling, walls, ME, the diswasher, cubbards, the laundry room door, AND the bedroom carpet. I don't have my camera to take pics b/c if I did I would b/c NO ONE would believe me.
I have cleaned it up but the walls will need to be repainted. My walls are a tan, flat paint (not my choice we bought the house new last year and it was already painted) I am off to shower again b/c I am all sticky.
Maybe, just maybe I'll get this tiny sunglasses cake done today. I was on a roll and I just HAD to have a coke didn't I @@ 
dang it hate it when that happens. well, the good thing about it you didn't have it spurting out your nose all over your computer screen. i've done that on more than one occasion when reading the forums....lol
It was funny at the time. I just stood there.......... "what the he** just happen" was the first thought I had. Then I just looked around. I can't believe how it just spewed everywhere!! Hahahaha
a couple of things:
1) coke cuts grease, so there's a silver lining, maybe?
2) my friend laura was just telling us about her flight attendant days, and how sometimes when she was getting cokes for the passengers, the plane would hit turbulence, the coke would drop, and just as luck would have it, it would burst right under her, spewing straight up her skirt....silver lining? at least it was contained!
think "little engine that could, chugga chugga chugga"
I recently left 3 cans of pepsi in my car and went to work, apparently they cant be left in the heat. I came out of work, and thought to myself why is the inside of my windows wet, i open the door and immediately smell pepsi. It was everywhere, stained the entire ceiling, the can was completely empty and had blown itself off the seat. I get in and start to drive home. Thinking how lucky i was only one blew up, and i pick up the other can. as soon as i picked it up, it blew up in my hand...so loud it sounded like a gun shot, needless to say O screamed unbelievabley loud, practically jumping out of my seat. it was a good thing i was at a stop light!
Better your house than the car...yes, it happened.
EEEEWWWWW-STICKY!!!!!!
another funny story: i used to work for a company that sold products for "women"...yes that kind of stuff. well anyway, my girlfriend was also a rep and she drove this spiffy red camaro with a big hatchback on it. she used to keep her products in toolboxes and such in the back seat. one day before she left to do a party, she dropped by the salon to get her hair done. it was extremely hot that day, and all she was thinking about was getting into the nice airconditioned salon. it took a couple of hours, and when she came out, she couldn't quite comprehend what had happened to her car...the whole back glass of the hatchback was white! when she opened the door, the smell of a brothel hit her in the face...one of the strong floral scented aerosol talcum powders had blown up!!!
guess what i'm saying is to keep on smilin' girl, cause it can always get worse!!!!!!!!1
Ha, well diet pepsi is just as bad, I ripped out some cabinets last week, and thought oh this space is perfect for stashing the trash can, and the cases of soda we buy at Sam's club. (at least until my new shiny dishwasher has arrived) So i'm shoving the cases into the corner and POP! Soda is spraying everywhere I'm getting soaked.. and sticky and ewww... Plus I can't figure out what has happened.. well my DH missed a whole row of nails along the back of the cabinet area, and.... BAM I managed to puncture TWELVE cans of diet pepsi clear through one nail per can... talk about a mess, so yea i'm there with you

of heard of using coke to clean your battery and even your toilet but never for douching!!! 
LOL
Oh, it could go very far, don't I know? Last summer my son was in my bedroom watching tv and he put his can of soda on the night table next to him. To make a story short, the can fell from the table but didnt spill because it fell on the upright position but, I guess due to the gas, some of the Coke shoot up and there was this huge stain of Coke on my ceiling. Nothing else got wet, just my ceiling.
This reminds me of that commerical about the paper towels... I believe to be Bounty brand... (TM) lol.... anyway the son goes to the fridge gets a 2 liter bottle of orange soda starts shaking it up and turns to the mother and the lid flies off and she says "TIMMY!!!!!! That's not how you do it!" and gets the sink sprayer hose and hoses the entire kitchen down....
Now you know damn well you'll be cleaning orange soda and water from under the fridge and cabinets for the rest of your life! lmao not to mention the living room that's right behind the boy in the kitchen lol..
We tend to run out of pepsi so we run to get some and then pop a few in the freezer.. well needless to say I don't know hubby is doing it and I can't remind him... so he falls asleep and I wake up to this load bang! like a gun shot in my kitchen... 3-6 cans of Pepsi all exploding one after another all over my white refrigerator lmfao.... nasty and messy even when frozen lmao
::::stick stick stick stick:::::::::: That's what I keep hearing in my kitchen when I walk. I have washed the floor 3 times already. I put flip flops on b/c I can't stand the feeling on my feet.
I like the "coke duche" story! I am famous for putting the coke in freezer and forgetting about it. I set a timer so I don't forget......sometimes I am like what did I set that for I am not cooking anything, hahaha
My DH left a LARGE bottle of homemade RED wine (one a them BIG Ernest and Julio Gallo bottles) in the backseat of his car a few winters ago. He meant to bring it in to give to one of the guys to try...
It was NOT a pretty sight by the time he got out of work!!!!
You poor thing you will be finding sticky everywhere for the next 2 years!
I had a neighbor in FL who went grocery shopping in the summer and a gallon of milk rolled under the seat and she forgot that she bought it. Well she went to go to work a few days later she went to go somewhere and she opened the door to that smell!!!!! Luckily the insurance company paid to have the car professional cleaned!
Better your house than the car...yes, it happened.
EEEEWWWWW-STICKY!!!!!!
I had a 12 pack of diet coke in my back seat of the car and left it there overnight when it got down to about 10 degrees F. Needless to say all of the pop froze and not one, not 2, but all 12 unleashed themselves in my car. I came out to puddles of frozen diet coke in my seats. Plus it was all over the dash and the ceiling. It was a very very bad mess. I have learned my lesson. No more leaving coke in the car overnight.
I know how you feel - nothing like a sticky mess on absolutely every surface imaginable!
My dh once dropped an applesauce cup and promptly stepped on it - man, did that squirt everywhere! And of course, it was a raspberry-apple blend, so it wasn't just applesauce, it was RED applesauce!
I do have a tip for you about cooling your pop cans down quickly - instead of putting them in the freezer, put them in a cooler with ice and water and salt. They will be cold in about 5 minutes. (See what you learn from watching Mythbusters? It's my youngest's favourite show)
I did have a can of pop left overnight in the car in the winter - yep, it exploded in the trunk...
Okay heres my soda story,
I went shopping one day, and bought a 12 pack of soda. As i get to my car carrying the 12pk The lovely handle breaks, of course i'm parked on a slight hill. So the soda promptly starts to roll all over the place. I'm picking up soda, and retrieved what i thought was all of them.
I look up and here is a man and woman walking accross the parking lot with my lone soda can rolling right for them. It stops right in front of the guy and EXPLODES all over him. His girlfriend (wife) was laughing so hard at him. Me i jumped in the car and tried to pretend it wasn't me.

That would so be me!!!!!! 
OMG-I'm ROFL but at the same time so grossed out by all the sticky messes...this is why I drink Diet Pepsi if I drink any soda at all...I have learned through the years it is the ONLY soda that isn't sticky!!! Unfortunately, the one that exploded in the car belonged to my daughter and was WAY sticky. I have a MAJOR sticky phobia-gives me the willies just thinking about it!
(I learned after my friend spilled a can of diet pepsi in my purse and was shocked that it was messy, but NOT sticky!!! LOL)

I'm ROFL! I would have done the same thing! That poor guy probably had no idea what hit him! Would have scared the heeby geebys outta me!
LOL That's funny! Ever done the Mentos experiment? My daughter did it for her science project two years ago.
The guys at "Mythbusters", on the Discovery channel, did one that made the 30 foot mark!
Now that's a coke shower!!!
I once dropped a 2 liter no name brand soft drink that had never been opened. I point out that it was a no name brand because the plastic top must have been cheap!! That thing hit the floor and took off like a rocket! I'm serious, it's suprising no one got hurt. My kitchen, at the time, was an open area that the LONG hallway was connected to. Yes, it went straight down the hall on the carpet and didn't stop until it hit the closet door at the end. Of course, the bottle was now empty. The soft drink managed to spray ALL over the kitchen before it poured out all down hallway. The walls were so sticky, but the carpet was horrible.
This actually happened to me a second time. We had just moved into our new house that we had spent months remodeling. I had these nice, clean, brand new WHITE cabinets! This time I just dropped the 2 liter while I was trying to pour it. Instead of shooting straight like a rocket, it spun round and round on the kithcen floor while I tried to catch it! I looked like a football player trying to catch the fumble. I finally caught it....after it COVERED my nice new cabinets with a sticky mess!
I must say I am much more careful when dealing with soft drinks!
A few years ago, when we were vacationing in a beautiful log cabin with friends, my friend's DH put an open "fridge-pack" (with 10 cans left) on the kitchen table, with the opening on the bottom corner. The cans started slipping out of the carton and rolling off the edge of the table. Upon hitting the ground, the cans would burst open and start spinning, spraying soda everywhere. I think five or six of them were doing this by the time DH was able to stop laughing and start doing something useful.
You are exactly where I was last week! I brought in a coke I had left in my car. I was in the process of setting it on my kitchen counter when it slipped out of my and. It hits the floor and then shoots up and hits me then the kitchen ceiling and then into my laundry room where it hit the ceiling at at least 2 walls and then slides into the trash can by the dryer. I've had to mop my floors at least 4 times and I still don't think I've gotten it all. I've wiped down the walls and cielings twice and I'm still finding coke...a week later. 
I have done his several times and I just keep mopping with bleach water and I keep a bucket of fresh bleach water solution in my sink to use as a sanitizer and I use it often when I find the hidden coke stickiness.
Coke can go where no woman dares to clean!
