they make something now out of plastic, it snaps on the open can and has a top like a soda bottle, so you can keep it closed. Keeps the bubbles in too.

here are some

This actually happened to a man at work and he had to go to the emerg. room and because of it being on co. time/work related etc. they did a standard drug test which he failed because he had been doing drugs! What are the chances of being found out like that??!! Glad you didn't get stung!!

As the expression goes - Been there, done that, got the sting. The time, about 20 years ago, I was outside the fence watching one of my exchange students at tennis practice. I am mildly allergic, dashed out to the nearest fast food joint, which just happened to be a McDonald. (I have never eaten at the Golden Arches, don't plan on it, but all I needed was ice. They wanted to charge me 50 cents for the cup. I knew I didn't have any money with me. I left, walking to the BK next door. By the time I got in, my lips were swollen, and my eyes puffy. I must have frightened the clerk when I asked for ice. A customer walked me to a chair, and like summer lightning,someone had put ice in an apron and had it on my face. Someone was asking if I wanted to go to the ER, another voice was asking to call an ambulance, someone else had an eppi-pen in their car. I just sat there with my face buried in the apron of ice. I was having no difficulty breathing, so I thanked everyone, laughed at the experience of drinking a yellow jacket and asked if I could have a cup of ice to go. Not only did they give me the ice, they gave me a big cup of Coke, because it is a bronchial dilator. I keep those cardboard coasters with me most of the time to keep bugs, bees, and debris out of my drinks. Thanks to all of the good people in the world.

I did that once and the bee stung me on the lip. I looked like Angelina Jolie for about a week. And it was sore a lot longer than that. Now, I always check!

dang darn it...i`m scared to death of bees and all that goes bzzzz....just the thought gives me shivers.....so glad your ok!!

most definitly glad you weren't stung...

I actually have some of those ---- but I was drinking from a bottle that has it's own lid!!! The lid was here by the computer and the bottle was on the deck!!!!!!!! LOL Some of us just can't learn!

Man --- he REALLY had a bad day!!!

:mrgreen: :mrgreen:

That happened to my daughter. She was in 1st grade and went on field trip. Bee got down in can and she got stung!
We buy only bottles now. Can put lids back on.

A stroke of luck. How about pouring your soda into a glass so you can see what's in it! I rarely drink soda but always pour it into a glass of ice.
