Mirth Provisions/via Facebook Mirth Provisions’ marijuana-enhanced carbonated drinks started bursting in a Bellingham, Wash., store. This pot has some serious pop.
Bottles of marijuana-infused soda have been removed from a Washington state store after they started exploding on the shelf, according to KOMO News.
The brand-new fizzy drink was introduced to Top Shelf Cannabis, a shop in Bellingham, on Sept. 28.
Ten bottles of the legal sparkling pomegranate line were sold the first day. But employees arrived the following morning to find a sticky mess on the floor.
“It sounded like a shotgun going off. You can actually feel it, it was that explosive,” store manager Zach Henifin told KOMO, adding that “they randomly go off during the day.”
Incredibly, no one was injured by the erupting plastic vials.
Adam Stites, who runs Mirth Provisions, which supplied the store with the bottles, told KOMO that he believed there’d been too much yeast in the soda, and that fermentation had caused excess carbon dioxide to build up.
“The yeast was just building up the pressure in the bottles over a seven- to 10-day period,” he said.
Stites revealed two other shops had been affected by the exploding bottles, and that he was offering a full refund to all those concerned.
He added that he was in a dispute with Top Shelf over who was responsible for picking up and destroying the soda containers.
