Shitty soup

Right, so as if Mondays aren't a big enough struggle in themselves... I get to work this morning to find my M&S red lentil soup has exploded in my bag on my cycle in. I wont' be tasting the difference today - there is none left.... instead it is covering todays change of clothes, diary, phone, wallet - the lot... all caked in squished up orangeness.
20 mins later the bag is kind of clean but smelly and I'm in a right mood trying to find something in my desk draws to wear.
My friend came round the other week for a bit of a cook off - he arrived with an eggy messenger bag... not fun.
Is the phenomenon of stuff exploding during commute a common occurance OR am I (and my friend) the only numpties who forget to put stuff in a plastic bag???

You should put the lid on next time

don't eat and drive / ride

get that bag in the washing machine when you get home!

Is the title of this thread an Alan Partridge reference?

Always with the bags.

Sometimes go for the double bag, most likely to explode item in one carrier bag, the rest of you goodies in another, place MLTE* with the other items, then put it in your main bag.

That's a whole lot of bagging but it works.

*Most Likely To Explode

i only carry solid food.

Freeze the soup, then defrost it in the Electro-Defroster at work?

putting your soup in a carrier bag first minimizes damage...

Christ, when will you people learn, cup a soup is the only way forwards

This isn't just a bag; this is KattieP's red lentil and tomato flavoured bag, oozing with sticky goodness.

Warning: bag may contain a ruined phone.

Anything that can leak, will leak.

I always use plastic bags. Works the other way too - keeping stuff when it's raining and you are in/out of your bag all the time..

one bag for the thing that will leak
one bag for the things you are protecting (e.g. clean shirt)

Tinned soup.

You should put the lid on next time

It was unopened. Come on guys. I'm not that dumb.

Tinned eggs.

I sometimes carry roast chickens from Waitrose in my bag,

Orly?

I sometimes carry roast chickens from Waitrose in my bag,

I bet that stinks...

I like the freezing it first idea....

They are very nice.

Ok; KattieP shops at M&S; Balki shops at Waitrose. Anyone had any mishaps on the way home from Fortnum and Mason?

I only buy chickens from Waitrose. All my other food comes from Papa Johns.

Waitrose sells big jars of Vegemite and a fantastic selection of beers. M&S sell loads of own brand shit.

What's wrong with using a flask?
