Drip, drip, dripping of the drink dispenser

We have a potluck dinner every Saturday night at work. Sometimes it's themed, sometimes it isn't. Yesterday, Karen brought in this drink dispenser that has ice in a tube in the middle and the drink is all around it. It wasn't exactly like this one, but this gives you an idea what I'm talking about. Anyway, she poured root beer in it for making root beer floats for dessert. Well, it leaked. A non-stop drip, drip, drip. This is 15 minutes of dripping taken down to 3:03.





Drip ... drip ... drip ... drip ... drip ... drip ... drip.

Watch as the dripped root beer spreads across the paper towel and the darker wet section of the towel grows larger, spreading out toward the edges. It's mesmerizing.

Don't know what is worse...the fact that you taped it and put it to music...or that I actually watched it. I think I need another hobby.

Freedomgirl... Since your first hobby is bashing people in rollerderby, it's OK to be a geek and just enjoy the drip of a leaking drink dispenser every now and then. It's calming. ... And actually looks like a giant bong if you were to see the whole thing... wink, wink....

I can't believe that you people weren't smart enough to put a cup under the spout and catch the drips. Wouldn't have made such a sticky mess.

Actually, that's kind of cool to watch the paper towel. The right side reaches the edge first.

A cup would have been perfect ... BUT .... the leak was at the gasket between the spout and the container so a cup would not have caught it. It was dripping straight down the side. It made for better video to just let it drip :)

Did you all watch the whole thing? I couldn't do it. I was drooling on myself at about 25 seconds in.
