Oh no. :disgust: Look what you did now. I was reading this thread thinking I have nothing really to offer, other than the time I had raw sewage splash into my mouth when some guys were cleaning out the grease trap at work. But now, I can top this, and you had to bring up this buried memory I had.
It was around 1973ish at my grandparents house one day and I was outside in the heat dying of thirst doing yard work with my granddad. I came inside and grabbed a little glass coke bottle (his favorite type of coke) out of the fridge and opened the top. As you know, the coke back in those days was so dark (not watered down like todays) and you couldnt see into the green glass bottle unless it was empty. Well, I opened the top and started taking deep gulps of this STUFF before the putrid odor and smell suddenly hit me in the gut like a hammer. I was standing near the sink, fortunately, and threw up about half the bottle I just drank, and stared at the bottle puzzled. The grand parents were a little startled by all this, and poured the rest of the bottle into a glass and looked inside the glass coke bottle. All this time I could never figure out what that giant glob was in the bottom of the bottle, untill I read this post.
They used to reuse all those glass bottles. I know realize that crap in the bottom of the bottle was someone elses tobacco that had hardened into an impervious petrified lump in the sun somewhere, and someone else came along a few years later to reclaim the deposit on the bottle. Naturally nothing short of sandblasting could remove this malignant mass from the inside of this coke bottle, and I drank the reconstituted remains mixed with coke. You could see the tobacco remains floating around the coke poured in the glass like dark cooked cabbage. Now I finally understand why I like pepsi and tobacco dont do a thing for me.
How much do I owe you for this epiphany ?
And a girl drank the backwash cup people were spitting crap in, like tobacco, one night at a party accidentally. Good thing she was drunk, that had to be gross, too.
