Today, during a layover between two flights, I managed to catch a shower. Too bad it was ginger ale and not water. FML

Hi there! OP here. I bought the ginger ale before my first flight, and opened it in the second airport. I didn't realize that the turbulence we experienced would be enough to shake it that much. When I opened it to drink, it sprayed everywhere. My shorts were soaked, and my arms were covered. I went into the bathroom and cleaned up as best I could, but my shorts were still damp when I got on my second flight. Basically, I had a moment of absentmindedness that totally sucked. I won't be doing that again...

I'm gonna go ahead and assume it wasn't a shower you asked for.

Many airports have shower facilities. If you have time maybe wash yourself off?

That's when you start tossing your hair around in the ginger ale shower like you're in a shampoo commercial.

A little sticky but at least you'll smell delicious.

There's a lot of background story missing here

It was probably more the pressure change that did it than the turbulence. Hopefully your second flight wasn't too long!

Like #19 said, it was probably from the pressure. I've had lotion and hand sanitizer bottle squirt everywhere after flying.

Same exact thing happened to me a few years ago but with Dr Pepper.
