Natural Fruit Flavoured Water

My daughter Martha bought a bottle of natural fruit flavoured water from Starbucks in Talbot Green It was still water flavoured with cranberries and raspberries called This Water. She bought it on Saturday drank half of it and left the rest on a cupboard in her bedroom till thursday. On the side of the bottle it does say once opened drink within 2 days and keep refrigerated. What it doesn’t say is what will happen if you don’t. I would have thought after 2 days not refrigerated it would have gone off. I wouldn’t have thought – fermented, exploded and ricocheted off bedroom walls during night. You should see her bedroom it resembles a slaughterhouse. She actually heard some fizzing noise when she went to bed and thought her TV might be going to blow up so she unplugged it from the wall but she could still hear the fizzing so she thought it must have been the rain. It woke her up in the night when it exploded but she calmly got out of bed put her laptop in its case and went back to bed apparently thinking that her sheets felt a bit sticky. It has actually sprayed 3 out of 4 walls and her floor, bed and everything else in its path and the bottled landed up in bed with her. I couldnt help laughing when she was staring at her walls looking utterly confused in the morning but on a more sober note it could have struck her in the face. I did ring This Water who said this had happened once before to their knowledge and this is why these drinks must be refrigerated  because the problem with fresh friut is fermentation. They kindly sent me a voucher – which I will put towards paint. Theres a lesson here to be learned by all untidy teenagers       Put Your Rubbish and EMPTY bottles in the Bin
