Thought Problem..OK... Little Thought Problem

It was a hot day so someone wanted a cold Diet Pepsi...fast. The 12 oz portion of Pepsi, in an aluminum can, was placed on its side in the door of the upright freezer. Past experience determined the pop would be sufficiently cold, in that freezer, after 15 minutes, to be refreshing.

The Diet Pepsi was left in the freezer door approximately 10 hours. How long did it take to clean up the mess and how did the Diet Pepsi exit the can?

These things happen in Olympia, too! However, you have a little helper to deal with the exploded can from the expansion of the liquid. They just don't make those cans very thick any longer, better on the environment.
If you took a hose to the mess, 10 minutes otherwise, an hour?

Do I win a prize?

Dear Pam, I am rolling on the floor with laughter.

I have a better one for you. I left a case of the stuff in the back of my van when I was living in the high country of Colorado.

Imagine how my husband reacted when he found that mess in the morning.
