    Default IMPORTANT WARNING~ before picking up plastic bottle with top on

    IMPORTANT WARNING~ before picking up plastic bottle with top on
    IMPORTANT Safety Information!

    This just scares the dung out of me. I posted this because as anglers and lovers of our environs, we tend to pick up the trash that idiots leave behind. Don't stop...but please remember this and look a little more carefully before you proceed.


    I did check the snopes at the bottom of this page.

    Good safety info that I never heard of; be careful and watch the video if you don't believe it.


    1. a plastic bottle with a cap.

    2. a little Drano.

    3. a little water.

    4. a small piece of foil.

    5. Disturb it by moving it; and BOOM!!
    6. No fingers left and other serious effects to your face, eyes, etc.. It's caustic! It burns.

    People are finding these bombs in mailboxes and in their yards, just waiting for you to pick it up intending to put it in the trash.
    But, you'll never make it!!! It takes about 30 seconds to blow after you move the thing.
    Evil people lurk among us!!


    See "SNOPES" below....it's true. This happened, in Michigan, a few days ago...April 27, as a matter of fact.
