If you try hard enough, it's possible to ....

... break a pop can and turn into a fizzing eye-blinding assault spray.

Shi's parents own a convenience store.
Shi often has to refill pop in coolers/fridges.
This is what happened.

Shi: *sleepy, tired, just got home from college after 8am~2pm of comp CG related class/demo/work, another 2hrs of public transit, followed by 20 minutes of carrying over 100 boxes of chocolate bars down stairs for storage* .... Canada dry needs a new case of 12 to be opened, Barq's cream soda down to 2, A&W almost all gone ... *picks out the pop cans and counts*

*walks down length of store, using a 12-case cardboard box to carry it all & narrowly avoids colliding into customer*

*kneels, using one knee to prop sliding door of huge 3-door cooler open, and starts filing pop after taking any remaining cold cans out to put the uncold cans in first*

*drops a can of canada dry* [... get it later.]

can: *makes hissing sounds*

shi: [... what the? I can't have broke it, can I?] *reaches down to grab can and examines it at eye level*

can: *from tiny pinprick hole at side (slightly dented inward), proceeds to spray shi's face and glasses full of pop in misty fountain like spray*

shi: [gyaaaaaaa it won't STOP!!] *runs to back to open tab and pour remainder into a pop*

can: *dead, drained*

shi: ..... *sips* >.>;;;;

can: *gets tossed into garbage can after pop tab is cannibalized for wheelchair charity (about 1,000k = 1 wheelchair)*

shi: ..... *goes to wash up*

....... >.>; okay, that was pointless.
