Elizabeth is flying in coach seating on her way to Minnesota. She occupies the window seat, and a quiet gentleman has been sleeping in the aisle seat.
The flight attendant offers her refreshment and a snack. She selects a diet Coke and a bag of peanuts. The attendant graciously leaves her the entire can.
As the plane nears its destination, Elizabeth begins to clean up her tray table. There is a little bit of Coke left in the can, and she pushes her empty peanut bag inside of it.
WARNING!
KIDS DON’T TRY THIS WITHOUT ADULT SUPERVISION!
Inside of the can, a surprise chemical reaction is taking place as the salt in the peanut bag mixes with the Coke.
Without warning, Elizabeth experiences Mount Vesuvius at 30,000 feet. Her little napkin is all she has to snuff out the volcano before disaster covers her lap.
What will she do?
Glancing to her right, she spies a blanket covering the sleeping gentleman.

Interesting problem, simple solution:
Smother the guy with his pillow, take the blanket, clean up the mess and then put it back over him to hide the body. 😀 😀 😀

Ah! I should have known you would find a quick reacting plan in place. Poor guy!

Deb, I appreciate you reading. It was a fun little story to create, and there is some truth to the Coke can and the peanut bag.

Careful not to wake up her sleeping seat partner, Elizabeth slid the blanket off of him, threw it over the can to douse Mount Vesuvius, and pressed the call button. The flight attendant removed the mess and brought her some extra napkins to wipe up her lap. The quiet gentleman next to her was unaware of the excitement as he slept through it all.

Great ending! I wanted to let each reader think of how the story should end. This actually happened to my wife and I a few years ago when we were flying. Fortunately, we didn’t need a blanket.

I was unaware that salt could cause such a reaction in Coke!
