A story for cyclist - re: Scotch

This Scotch has been on the rocks for a century.


Five crates of Scotch whisky and two of brandy have been recovered by a team restoring an Antarctic hut used more than 100 years ago by famed polar explorer Ernest Shackleton.

Ice cracked some of the bottles that had been left there in 1909, but the restorers said Friday they are confident the five crates contain intact bottles "given liquid can be heard when the crates are moved."

New Zealand Antarctic Heritage Trust team leader Al Fastier said the team thought there were two crates and were amazed to find five.

Current distillery owner, drinks group Whyte & Mackay, launched the bid to recover the Scotch whisky for samples to test and decide whether to relaunch the defunct spirit made by distiller McKinlay and Co.

I once left a Dr. Pepper in the freezer and it exploded all over an almost full box of Eggos.  My mom was pretty pissed.

Ray Kroc did the same thing, except with maple syrup.  That's how the McGriddle was invented.  True story.

I left a can of cola right by the rear window of my car in the middle of summer a couple of years ago. That sucker exploded and I still have stains on the interior roof of my car.
