LOL yeah, that does make it more shocking.

Oh goddess the cake. So we have this recipe for how to bake a cake in a jar. So you can mail it (specifically overseas to people serving in the military but you can mail it anywhere) and the first time my sister did it...she kinda overfilled the jar. Needless to say, cake batter expands...and the jar exploded in the oven. I don't know if the jar itself actually exploded or if it just kinda overflowed and made a mess...but she said to me "I exploded the cake." So I tend to think she exploded the jar and the cake and well...everything.

The end of this story is she had to make a new one (obviously) and then when she sent it to our friend, he was out in the field on maneuvers. Well the cake will keep because it's sealed, but command decided the unit needed mail as a morale booster so they shipped the mail out by chopper. And tossed the package out of a chopper AT HIM! It hit the ground, bounced a couple times, but the jar was miraculously STILL INTACT when he opened it! We were amazed!

Oh I have heard of those, just never heard them called that. Okay then. *giggles at you explaining it to your mum* That's as bad as me explaining a dildo to my best friend.
