OK people here’s the thing, evidently fermented orange juice can explode (who knew?). Ming Fu Hu, a Chinese immigrant, who owns a drink bar in New Zealand, is suing Coca-Cola after a bottle of Keri orange juice exploded and hit him in the eye, causing permanent damage.Coca Cola admitted the 2.4 litre bottle exploded but lawyers for the company say they have no liability because it had fermented (despite it still being within it’s used by date). As a nice old peace offering Coca Cola sent Mr Hu a case of Keri juice and a grocery voucher worth $200.Enter race card.Hmm, Mr Hu’s lawyer said “My client is a Chinese immigrant and if the same thing happened to a Kiwi in China we would expect the Chinese company to step up to the plate, admit its mistake and help make the victim whole again.” (really?). Oh dear, I don’t think this will be going away in a hurry.

Did it knock his eye out or just blind him with the eye still in the socket? I need details Loon. You can’t just leave it hanging like that. I know this is hard to believe but I’m trying to negotiate with the Asian lady and the council so that the council will let her keep the garage and she brought me two bottles of Just Juice orange juice tonight. She said it was on special!!! Loon has a knack of predicting things. Kind of a six sense if you like. I hope they don’t explode. Loon I was about to send a photo but I can’t find that wee small camera of mine. Bugger! Lady Catherine probably borrowed it to take photos of that reporter.
Make sure Lady Catherine doesn’t get thirsty tonight. Geez, what with exploding fridge doors and OJ, my kitchen is a friggin death trap!
As for the eye, I think the bottle just hit him in the face (no glass or blood mentioned). “Mr Hu said still could not see very well and would probably not recover his full vision.”
That must be worth at least $100.000.00 and a seeing eye dog.
Preferably one that doesn’t like magnets. Public transport would be a real liability. He’d cock his leg and get stuck to the bus.
That is way too funny. Can’t wait for the Youtube clip …psst did you see the spotted skunk handstanding? I want one. I could train it to spray on people I don’t like
