The Styrofoam will quickly dissolve. Use only approved containers. DON'T HOARD!
That is my PSA for today.

Next to where they stored their hoarded toilet paper from last year. Or leave it in the trunk.
Couldnt find how long it takes for gasoline to dissolve enough of the bag to leak, but when they drag the bag out of where they stowed it that stress might be enough.
Innocent people will be hurt in the inevitable fires.
