This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Those cans would definitely explode rather than just melt.

There’s no juice can in the world that would melt at 500F. Even lead doesn’t melt that low. I think the person that wrote this might have been lying on the internet.

B- But people don't lie on the internet,that would be just cruel 😞

You'd be hard pressed to find a single instance of this.

Melting is not literally the correct word in terms of the cans themselves, but the author mentions them hissing.

Presumably the cans would be boiling, hissing and frothing juice out of the seams, which would be expanding and worsening rather rapidly, creating a heated can of juice boiling over and basically appearing to be melting, covered in liquid and froth, even though the cans themselves are not literally melting.

They might have actually exploded though, at least the better sealed ones, at some point.

ZE JUIZ BURST IN THE OVEN WHY WHY ARE THEY THERE

Hopefully this (ancient) OP did not explode any juice.

My horrible, overactive imagination told me that the cans would explode while being removed from the oven and flash-boil the superheated apple juice as it was released, spraying people with a very sticky, very hot syrup that could not be easily washed or wiped away, as one would regular apple juice.
I doubt it could actually go from superheated apple juice to a maple-syrup consistency napalm, but my brain don’t care about logic.

Totally fair and fine to not totally logically engage with a fucking 4chan post rofl, thats probably actually good for your mental health.

I am just pedantic by way of autism =p

Also, were the cans of juice to flash boil and explode at the exact time the oven was opened, spraying everyone with like 400 to 500 degree syrup... that'd almost be as bad as the fucking deep fryer scene from Watchmen, that'd be fucking horrifically painful and could blind you :X
