Morning Explosion

It sounded as if a huge clay water pot had been dropped from above my house.

I looked around and saw nothing had fallen.  So I suspected it was probably the neighbor.

An hour later I returned to the kitchen for a coffee refill.

I noted the refrigerator door open and juice all over the floor.


A bottle of Juice on the shelf door had exploded, damaging plastic shelving.

Shrapnel of the shelving plastic is embedded in most of the food.


Three shelves in the refrigerator were destroyed


Addendum: 
Lessons learned:  When shopping refrigerated foods, check the expiration date.
Shelf life is shortened once the container is opened.  
Product should be consumed within 5 days after opening.
Refrigerator temperatures are not low enough to inhibit fermentation.
After opening, consider transferring the content to a POPTOP type container. 
Fermenting gas pressure will pop the lid open, letting gases escape.

The responses from the Nuboon Co., Ltd customer services where prompt, informative, helpful and courteous.  Really Thai !!
Meanwhile I will consider such juices for winemaking projects
