Souper

As I was walking out of my building at lunch, I heard a loud bang. Wha? Jolted out of thoughts about what I might wear out to dinner tonight, I looked down. Here's a tip: never put an airtight lid on a container full of hot soup. I learned the hard way that this will result in an explosion and a hot mess (no, not that kind of hot mess).

I'm no scientist, but I'm guessing this is caused by the heat that is trapped, which builds up enough pressure to pop the top off. Anyway. I had minestrone soup all over my hand, my lunch bag and dripping onto the floor as I walked. Disgusted, I just dumped the whole thing in the garbage can, Rubbermaid container and all. So, yeah, no soup for me.

But at least I didn't burn myself, like this dude. Ouch!
