An alligator broke into a Florida family’s garage and set about necking their Diet Cokes, according to Newsweek. Laryn and Jamie Dobson were at home when they heard a “wicked” crash in their garage. When they opened the garage door they were greeted by the alligator, who had already made quite a mess. “There was Diet Coke spewing everywhere, because the gator was interested, tore open the box, had a few cans,” said Karyn. “Probably thought it was beer, maybe.” The gator has been safely relocated.
