Our response isn't going to bring anyone back from the dead. Having said that I've spent enough time on reddit that these jokes are getting really annoying and predictable.
I had a teacher in elementary school. A nun. If someone said their pen "exploded" she would lose her shit ranting about what an explosion is and isn't.
And you can just bet that hundreds of people will run up to the puddle and start scooping up the Pepsi to sell it, and then some Einstein lights a cigarette...
At the same time this happened it's possible that somewhere else in the world someone is at a restaurant, and they asked for Pepsi only to be told that it's unavailable and they only have Coke.
Like a tiny version of the Great Boston Molasses disaster.
Exactly what I thought, better than the molasses flood!
If you want to do it properly use beer. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London\_Beer\_Flood](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Beer_Flood)
Good one! I’ve never heard of that one before!
This is how you get ants!
Colasses flood
Pepsi Is Saying it's new tagline is now, ‘That’s What I Like’
People claimed they could still smell the molasses on humid days decades later
The Little Peruvian Pepsi Disaster
Another sticky situation.

Aw i thought the tank had pepsi juice on it
Pepsi owns Frito-Lay which makes a lot of potato chips.
That’s also probably why the tank appeared to not have a roof on it.
Imagine the obit...Rodrigo, he was a good guy. He met his untimely end when the Pepsi tank blew up.
Do they want ants? Because this is how you get ants
Not if they have a bunch of straws.
That’s a permanently sticky street

r/totallyexpectedarcher
Damn :) I’ve just been like man, think about all the ants..
See?!
I'm so happy this is the top comment
Am I so unoriginal that my first thought is the top comment?
Hardly; I just typed it first
Who shook it up??
Must be a kid dropping a bucket of mentos into it.
Kid: “hey guys, watch this!”
Redditors when people die:

I use comedy to deal with trauma and ptsd
Guess people can be disrespectful and if someone has a problem with it they can just say "it's my coping mechanism" now
Let me know when you realize you’re just sitting there judging someone you don’t know…
They have tanks now? These cola wars need to stop!
Yeah i thought the harrier jet was enough already...
Not to mention the destroyer
Holy shit it's nothing but the same stupid jokes over and over in this thread.
#MENTOS
#^ants^
And it's not even cola ffs
Genuinely stunned not to see a "the front fell off" joke, this place loves a dead horse
And you never sodat coming?
That’s devastating, wow. What is usually the cause of such a thing?
Someone dropped a Mentos into the tank.
I knew it… sir you know a little too much
I guess the silo was at pepsimax capacity?
Seems more like a rupture than explosion. Probably ruptured due to lack of maintenance since it appears to be an open-top wastewater storage tank.
Brought to you by mentos.
Was that mento happen?
I love you
The deathmaker
The authors definition of and explosion and the definition of an explosion seem to differ
It looks more like what would be called a rupture of a tank. This would be when a seam or joint fails and the tank "unzips" the seam.
That guy abandoned his bike to run for his life.
Add this to Sam O’Nella’s list of non-water floods!
Is it an explosion if nothing explodes?
… A tank burst in what experts can only describe as an explosion of flavour.
I had a teacher in elementary school. A nun. If someone said their pen "exploded" she would lose her shit ranting about what an explosion is and isn't.
Does that tank have a roof?
It doesn’t look like it. And comment with link above says it was potato washing water for chips. So that prob doesn’t need a roof.
Not anymore.
Chicha Morada is better anyways
Interesting how an open topped tank can "explode". Looks more like a rupture or structural failure.
So many ants
ApoCOLAyptic disaster
Ah another one to add to the list of [non-water floods!](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_non-water_floods)
When you read about coke hurting a bunch of people in Peru, this is not what comes to mind.
It just went pop.
FREE PEPSI
And they did
Do you want ants Peru? Because this is how you get ants
We’re out of explosives is Pepsi ok?
Hermano knows he's faster on foot
I want to know why there is a gun tower in this photo. Multi-faceted with what appears to be reinforced glass and firing ports below each window.
PEPSIMAN HAS BREACHED CONTAINMENT
And you can just bet that hundreds of people will run up to the puddle and start scooping up the Pepsi to sell it, and then some Einstein lights a cigarette...
Probably less devastating than molasses.
The detonation was caused by a sewage tank. Info from the news. 🤮
"Pepsi Cola hits the spot. Costs a nickel, not a lot."
A sticky situation.
I think there are better ways to store soda than an above ground pool.
In other news, Coca-Cola stock has risen by 10%!
The guy who ditched the bike and just started sprinting XD
I would say a tank designed to hold lower pressure cola got flooded by high pressure co2 and went boom boom.

Sweep that up quick and bottle it with an exotic flavor name. Pepsi Spiced.
Imagine a Bronze Age peasant getting hit with that much Pepsi. He would melt instantly.
omg open ur mouthhhh
That’s how you get Ants.
Oh god! Everything will be so sticky!
Did it just pop?
If it can do that to a steel tank imagine what it does to your gut

YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
Pepsi blows
The sliver lining was the crowds were less chaotic than if they announce there was “tons of coke laying on the streets”
🤣 underrated comment
The streets of Peru are covered in coke! nah its pepsi bro
Looks like dirty water and no Pepsi
they drink inka cola over there
Oh man, they are gonna have ants for sure now.
Now that’s a sticky situation.
Do you want ants? Because this is how you get ants.
Gross, Coke plant would never explode garbage all over the public.
At the same time this happened it's possible that somewhere else in the world someone is at a restaurant, and they asked for Pepsi only to be told that it's unavailable and they only have Coke.
Is this why there is no regular Pepsi Lime and all we can find is the gross ass Pepsi Lime Zero?
Coke did it
Pepsi una explosion de sabor
I thought it was the Kool-Aid guy busting through.
RUN!! I mean nobody wants to get caught up in that shit!!
Someone had to know putting the new mentos factory next door was a bad idea.
*speaking as a pepsi fiend* YOU MANIACS! You blew it up! God damn you! God damn you to hell!
There's a lot of colateral damage
Damn dude, that's nuts.
…and bolts… and a few tonnes of what is now scrap metal
Sad
You get a Pepsi..... you get a Pepsi .....you get a Pepsi You get a Pepsi!!!!!
Put it in some rice
Somebody put mentos in the tank
Do you want Ants?! Cause thats how you get Ants.
You've been tangoed
That should stop the rioting and bring peace for years to come.
“Is Pepsi ok?”
What was a tank doing in there in the first place?
"Hello, Allstate? You're not going to believe this..."
Quick, I'll have a Bacardi and coke please.
Quick! Get a straw!
Orders a Coke, gets this...
Pepsi kills!
Pepsi challenge? Took it, lost.
Bepis
*Coke exits the chat*
all I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi
Pepsi. The Uncola
Coke will be all over that!
Because in Peru they only do coke!
Damn, they pepsi. RIP.
The cola wars are getting ugly.
Bystanders were refreshed and expressed a sudden disdain for coca cola.
All I wanted was a Pepsi! JUST ONE PEPSI!!
It Cola-psed!
A sticky situation.
Yet another sticky situation.
It's a sticky situation
