I hear the fire crews sent out an urgent call for “more Coke”.

Fishing will be popular, all you will need is a scoop net and it's already marinated....

My thoughts, too.
Possibly the only case of fish leaning into the boat to be sick, rather than vice-versa. |

Beam addicts will be rushing to liquor stores buying what they can in fear of a Beam shortage.
Will we see Beam rationing? |

"Sniff the cap and pass it along".
They'll recoup their losses with an up-spec commemorative release called something like "Black Wednesday Blend" and append a fractional cent donation to the local firefighters' association. I only use things like this in food, but it's a real shame to see a globally famous product going uncontrollably to waste. Should be some good work for coopers in the short term. |

Pretty sure they've got plenty more warehouses full of the stuff.

You would think with the value of product talked about how can a fire start and spread so fast? Wouldn't they have the best systems in place in place to stop that?

I would have thought so too. But i think they said it was a lightning strike that started it. Could that have fried the fire suppression system?
