At the end of summer, at least here in muggy-as-a-gorilla’s-boxer-shorts New England, it can still get hot enough for one to want a nice cool can of liquid refreshment to quench one’s thirst on a hot late-summer’s day. But no longer. For there is a deadly enemy lurking in the freezer.

Pop quiz, hotshot: So you want a can of Coke but it’s not cold enough for you. So you put it in the freezer for a little while, right?

DEADLY MISTAKE. A young boy in China reportedly got 38 stitches to his face after a can of Coke exploded… in his face… and aluminum can shrapnel sliced his face open. That’s right – it could happen to you.
