Thick and muggy, hot and humid, the sweltering summer sun beats down on your lazy day.
Yes, you lay sprawled on your sweaty couch, pleading with your open windows to blow a breeze across the room. Instead, the dusty air hangs heavy and every breath you take feels like sucking wind from a bathroom hand dryer. It’s burning, it’s suffocating, it’s too hot to handle.
But guess what: there is a solution. That’s right, Drippy Drew, just toss a Coke in the freezer, let it chill right up, and enjoy a superfrosty slurp when it comes out.
That’s right, if you time it right, then when you yank the can out of the freezer it should immediately get wet with slippery cold condensation. Then it chills your hand and cools you right down, too. And hey, if you’re feeling bold at this point, feel free to treat it like an ice pack and rub it all over your forehead and neck for good measure. And then, when you’re ready, pull back that tab and listen for that sweet sound of cool relief.
Pshhhhhhh.
As you take that first freezing cold sip be sure to notice the tiny little ice crystals swimming in the sea of cola, melting like frozen pebbles from heaven in your disgustingly humid mouth.
Yes, for those who reach this level of Carbonated Nirvana, there is really only one thing to say: you have truly lived. With your T-shirt sweatglued to your back and and your sticky hair matted to your forehead, those freeze-crystals just swim around your mouth and slap your senses. Suddenly you’re enjoying a sugar high, feeling those fizzy vibes, and enjoying that crystal cool sensation of ice bits melting all over the place inside of your face.
AWESOME!
But the “Psssssshhh” sound isn’t the “sweet sound of cool relief”. It’s the sound of “happiness bursting out of the can”. Haven’t you read the fine print?
(Lol. Is this only in Australia that they write that on the Coca-Cola cans? It always amuses me!)
Hmmm… I don’t drink Coca-Cola so I’m not sure. I’m a Dr. Pepper fan.
Me, neither, I don’t like Coke…however, I do like a cold Sprite once in a while, so I will have to try this with a can of Sprite!
I love that your can’s say that!
Personally, I like root beer. But if that’s not available, I go with Sprite.
I’ve never tasted Coca-Cola or Pepsi. Or Dr. Pepper. I know. It’s sad.
It says that on your coke cans?! I have to move to Australia!
“Frozen pebbles of heaven” I love it!
I had one coke in my life when I was desperate thirsty while out fishing and was seriously ill for 3 whole days! I’m not a big fan of pop but I do believe if anyone has “Frozen pebbles of heaven, it’s A&W root beer who serves them up the best!!
Correction: Mexican Coke in a bottle :-)
