Its been a while since Ive done a picture thread, so here we go

So today I was digging through some of the shite thats underneath one of my desks. In this colossal pile of assorted junk, I found the bag I put my books in for University. And in this bag I found my Thermos flask.

Now I have this thermos flask for one reason. Saving money. At college, it cost €1.20 ($1.47) for a small paper cup full of tea. Such is life in the ripoff that is Ireland. If you have say, three cups of tea per day at college (lets face it, tea > study), then this cost mounts up very quickly. So I brought a thermos flask full of tea to college every day. For those that are still wondering what a Thermos flask is, its basically a flask to keep tea warm.

This was all well and good until I left college last May. Armed with my degree, and little aware that I would spend the next 8 months unemployed, I left the Thermos flask full of tea in my bag, under the table, under a pile of general bedroom junk.

Fast forward to today, it was like an archaeological dig. Finding this Thermos flask brought back memories of the Hell that was college. But enough about that. It was time to crack it open and see what remains of half a litre of tea, after eight months sitting in this sealed environment.


It was time to open the beast.


And show the Internet what was inside.




Here is where I performed the operation. Down the garden I went armed with my camera and the Thermos Flask From Hell. This place is nice and secluded and the likelyhood of stepping in the goop released was minimal.



It was time. Filled with dread, I placed the Thermos Flask on the ground and surveyed it.



Gingerly, I removed the outer cap and placed it on the ground.



Opening the inner cap, a pungent odor reached my nose. I tried to ignore it at this stage. Observe the small caked lumps inside the inner cap, which I placed on the ground.



At this stage the smell was intolerable. Its impossible to describe, but eight month old Tea has a characteristic smell - sort of like a mixture between vomit and old milk.

Heres the inside of the flask ->



Now it was time to empty it.

I poured. Some liquid came out, almost water. Not too bad I thought. Then the lumps came. Thick, hard lumps of crud fell splattering onto the ground. Some splashed onto my shoe (which smells now).

This is what was inside. Enough said.





I was almost wretching at this point.


So then I inspected the inside of the flask, to see what the tea had done to the inside. The entire of it was covered in a brown paste. I didnt poke any further.



And you can clearly see the height the tea was at inside.




I'd had enough at this stage. The contents of this flask, combined with the smell, is worse than any Internet shock site or screaming face.

On went the cap and up to the rainwater barrel. The remains of the flask is now being soaked in water around the back of the house. Hopefully where the smell wont come in any open windows.




I hope to use the flask again someday.
