>     When ol' Colonel Johnson labeled his barbecue sauce "Thermo-N
>  Nuclear"...he wasn't kidding!
>     Health department officials in suburban Chicago are investigating
>  after two bottles of the stuff EXPLODED in two kitchens.
>     No one was hurt...but the spicy, pepper-laced hot sauce caused
>  hundreds of dollars in damage to curtains, carpeting and furnishings.
>     Both bottles had been purchased earlier this month at the Naperville
>  Ribfest...where the Chesapeake, Virginia-based Johnson's BBQ won first
>  prize for best ribs. In selling the sauce, the company jokingly asked
>  consumers to sign a release before buying it.
>     Health officials say the product may be contaminated by bacteria and
>  are trying to get some to test. However, both families say they cleaned
>  up and washed out or threw away the bottles right after the explosions.
