Alien Landscapes (Weird!)
-
"My buddy and I took a week vacation to So. Calif. Upon returning, we found a very strange image on his countertop which seemed to have no explanation. I grabbed my digital camera and started shooting before anything was disturbed. It looked like an alien landscape, with extreme detail, complexity, and appeared 3-D. However, the image was flat and smooth like a decal.
Finally after much pondering, we noticed the Pepsi can was empty but had never been opened. A pinhole must have developed, spraying a thin stream of cola onto the side of a plastic container, and then pooling up on the countertop. I think the detailed 3-D effect happened when the sugar crystals dried with the liquid. It looked so weird!"

diet pepsi doesn't have sugar. it uses artificial sweetener. i suspect this might be the effect of the artificial sweetener, which basically is a rather strong artificial chemical.Originally posted by PaJeRoMiNi Ver 1.0:"My buddy and I took a week vacation to So.
