mawby Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I just went to make myself a nice cup of hot chocolate. Whilst the milk was heating in the microwave I grabbed the tin of hot chocolate off the side and was just about to open it when.... KABOOM!!! ...the bottom falls off the tin, dumping its entire contents on me, the floor and the majority of the kitchen! Once the haze of hot chocolate floating in the atmosphere had finally subsided I was able to start the clean up operation and calculate the damages. I estimate the amount of hot chocolate flying its way around Dyson heaven has a street value of at least £20! This could just have been a simple accident, or it could be the start of a hot chocolate suicide cult! So please be extra vigilant when dealing with hot chocolate in your home.

mawby Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 Thankfully yes, there was an emergency supply in a cupboard a short distance from where the incident occurred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adnanshah247 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 he might have now developed a psychological fear of hot chocolate! be careful mentioning the words hot chocolate because hot chocolate could now have a dramatic effect on him, so remember no more hot chocolate to be mentioned as hot chocolate could be dangerous to mawby after the hot chocolate incident.

mawby Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 After a detailed analysis of the crime scene it appears the hot chocolate was merely an innocent bystander! The evidence suggests a damaged hot chocolate container was to blame. The glue holding the bottom of the tin on was damaged to the point it could no longer take the weight of £20's worth of hot chocolate. I fear this may all be my own doing! I can't help but blame myself for the loss of all that innocent hot chocolate. Only now, in this late hour, do I see the folly of putting non-dishwasher safe hot chocolate containers into a dishwasher. I'll never put non-dishwasher safe hot chocolate containers into a dishwasher again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garethr Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Tins can be dangerous! One of my mates was once rendered unconscious by a tin of Golden Syrup. The contents had fermented and the lid came off a little more quickly than he had anticipated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 You must have aggrevated the tin in some way, I can't believe it was a coincidence that it went up just as you were holding it! Were you shaking it or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRalphMan Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 £20, how big was the blooming tin? Maybe I'm just used to Tesco's own Hot Choccy. You'd get a van full for a twenty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
