You store wine with the cork down to keep the cork moist and expanded, yes - but it breaths slightly, it's not quite air tight. It's when too much oxygen gets through that you get a problem because that encourages mold and yeast spores to breed and taint the wine, leading to a "corked" bottle (and an annoyed Sommelier)

Yeah, that happens to most other plastic containers here, but the mayo ones are different. They're 3 times as thick and have a heavy bottom that literally bounces on falls.

It wasn't always like that, but i guess the brands got tired of replacing broken jars on the supermarkets.

The thing is that on the supermarkets whe have by here, the brand is responsible for their product. They're the ones who place it on the shelfs and the ones who clean up the mess and pay the costs if a flask blows up.

I drove into a supermarket car park one day and parked next to a quite expensive, very nice car - a Merc IIRC.

When I got out of my car I noticed a very pungent smell and saw that the fancy car now looked like someone had thrown a pot of yellow paint over it. A little investigation showed that the Merc was covered in mustard! I then spotted a plastic squeezy bottle under the rear wheel of my car - someone had presumably dropped the said plastic bottle when loading their car, and I had driven over it while parking. The thing exploded under the pressure and the contents took the easiest way out.

When I finished laughing I moved my car to a different space!

I dont think there is a solution to that, encasing it in concrete and dropping it in the canal sounds good (then rewrite in a proper language - which to be honest is propbably quicker anyway)

I hate glass spills of any sort, but 'sticky' does make it fawful. Just afore Christmas, as we were cleaning in expectation of our guests, a member of the Vilmos household who shall remain nameless [and is pushing her luck about reaching 9] knocked a jar of champagne and strawberry jam off the counter with similar results.

The eldest dropped a glass jar of olives yesterday evening, so I pretty much went through that yesterday evening. Plus the floor is still a bit oily (though cleaning) and we have a wonderful smell of olive in the kitchen...
