<p>Ok, so about 2 hours ago, when I got home from work, I put a cherry coke in the freezer after I had a sip... well, I forgot about it, silly me, and now it sort of overflowed and froze to the can. However, I don't know what object to use to conduct open heart surgery on the can to save the rest of the coke.</p>
<p>How is this relevant to college life you may ask, I need to make sure I bring the proper supplies to college if this ever happens again.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t attempt to perform open heart surgery, I feel like it would be pretty easy to cut yourself on the edges of the can. Whatever you do don’t put it in the microwave. XD</p>
<p>Your mom still buys clothes for you?!</p>
<p>Doesn’t yours…?</p>
<p>Speaking of mom… I was going to use a steak knife, but then I remembered I’m not allowed to used those without parental supervision.</p>
<p>throw it away.</p>
<p>the carbonation somehow disappears when it’s frozen I think.</p>
<p>Well, I felt like being a rebel so I cut it open with a steak knife, sorry Mom, but of course I wore oven mitts to protect from the evil aluminum. Sadly, I was unable to stop the blood from gushing out of its body, so… I drank it. I guess that makes me a vampire.</p>
<p>Everyone can drink their own blood. If you want to be a rebel, go take a sip of your roommate’s.</p>
<p>One thing you gotta learn is when to declare something a write-off.</p>
<p>Considering the risks of this, I’d consider this can of coke a write-off. Yes, it’s going to waste, but there’s really nothing much you can do about it:</p>
<p>1.) If you cut it open, there is a very high risk that you can get hurt and the medical bills will easily cost several cases of coke.</p>
<p>2.) If you let it unfreeze, there will still be a dangerous amount of pressure. This is the route I usually take considering how well-engineered the cans are, but the soda will most likely be flat and at a very high pressure when you open the can.</p>
<p>3.) You can poke a hole in the can and hope it resolves itself, but that’s also asking for trouble. It’s effectively a low-powered bomb that you’re trying to defuse.</p>
<p>Life will be much better once you figure out how to write things off, even if they’re very expensive.</p>
<p>Flat yes, pressure no.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I survived the procedure, luckily.</p>
<p>In the end it was nice and slushy just like I wanted originally.</p>
<p>Some of these replies make me want to punch a baby. Seriously.</p>
<p>Been there, done that. (I’ll miss you little Susie)</p>
<p>■■■■■, such a huge, huge dilemma.</p>
