This reminds me of the time I met my wife's father the first time. I went with her to visit family out west. We took a family picnic and a grill with us on an outing up in the mountains. Getting ready for a nice hot dog I asked for the mustard. Flipped the top and proceeded to spray French's yellow all over the front of his pants and shirt. It probably launched a blast a good 5 feet.

I'm from the east coast. This whole major elevation change thing is new to me. Great first impression fml

We live at 4600' and most of our food gets shipped from central California. People who are new to town think most of the food at the store has spoiled because the containers are bulging when they get here. You learn quickly to poke a tiny hole in the middle of the yogurt seal and let the air out before peeling back the edge. I also have to be careful opening brand-new mason jars because the lids will stick just long enough to get the rings off then they shoot across the room with a loud pop.
