Icee Down!

All throughout my 2:30 to 3:45 American History class, all I could think about was getting a cherry flavored icee from the student center. My mouth was practically watering.

So naturally, when class was over I trekked across campus. I grabbed a white styrofoam cup and dome lid, and to ensure I got my money-worth, I placed the lid on and filled the cup up as far as it would go.

What happened next should have been my first warning that this icee was defective. It had never done this before! Precious red yummy-ness started oozing out of the top of the lid and all down the sides. I panicked for a half second before grabbing napkins and cleaning the cup off.

I took a big, long slurp and walked to my car. Unknowingly, I was enjoying my last few minutes with my icee. As soon as I got in my car I reached to put it in my cup holder when the lid popped off and my overly full icee spilled everywhere.

I thought I could salvage it. After all, I had saved it in it's prior malfunction. I reached for an empty water bottle from the backseat and attempted to pour it in. Not good.

Eventually I accepted my icee's fate and placed the icee cup in the parking lot. I couldn't save the icee, but I could save my car!

In the end I guess I can't be too disappointed. I did get a few sips.

What happened to you today?
