Memories! Went to a resident variety show in Sun City, Arizona, years ago when my parents lived there. It was outdoors and the bleachers were metal. Those in the know brought something with them to sit on.
We had something quite the opposite happen to us. We bought juice pouches to go with our lunches at a NASCAR race. We figured, freeze 1/2-dozen of them; this would keep them all cold & eventually they’d thaw enough to drink as well. It turned out that the few we froze, froze ALL of them! (We think it had to do with the foil pouches.) We now refer to an idea that looks good on paper but fails spectacularly a “juice pouch idea”.
You’ve got to b e really old to remember the jack Dempsey—Georges Carpentier heavyweight title fight in 1921.
When ticket sales zoomed far beyond what was expected,they created a town called Boyle’s 30 acres New Jersey and built a 100,000 seat wooden arenapractically overnight.
But it was a broiling hot day and the sap and resin oozed out of the wood and ruined everybody’s clothes.
A long time ago the morning newspaper in a city in the Central Valley of California staged a contest. Everyday of summer, from Memorial Day to September 30th (They stretched summer a bit) they would crack two eggs in a cast iron skillet situated in the county courthouse plaza at 1:00 pm and then time how long it would take to fry them. Each week the paper would run a contest of sorts, “Guess the day the eggs fry quickest this week.” Winners were announced every Sunday in the colour section. Prizes were subscriptions to the paper. This seems an ingenious way to make a grilled cheese sandwich. Don’t forget to spread mayonnaise on the outside, yes, outside, of the bread and lay down a bit of butter on the bleacher before you grill. MMMMMM
I grew up in the low desert (a.k.a. real desert, a.k.a. HOT) and played softball on our church teams. By May, it was hot. If you drew the early game, it was guaranteed to be over 100’F. We’d bring towels to sit on for the bleachers or the dugout. That was simply life as normal in the low desert.

Don’t think i would eat anything that was grilled on bleachers seats.

Yuck. Not the grill cheese-the part about grilling them on the bleachers. Just yuck.

I guess they’re counting on the heat and the UV radiation to sterilize the bleachers.

Plastic bleachers would melt.

I’ve heard of trying to fry an egg on the sidewalk, but never grilling cheese on the bleachers.

I must say, that’s a novel way to make grilled cheese sandwiches.

If metal bleachers are so hot, how are you not jumping up and down like your butt’s on fire, Zoe?

Reminds me of the WW!! film clips of US Army tank crews in North Africa frying eggs on the fender of their tanks.

Roll with the blows. Find the good, avoid the evil. Make toast, be happy.

If the metal is that hot, shouldn’t they be sitting on something else so they don’t burn themselves?

“White or wheat?” As if white bread isn’t made from wheat.

Good question Zoe.

Resourceful, but kinda gross.

I guess they’re getting toasted buns, too.

How are they sitting on the metal bleachers if the metal bleachers are so hot, they can make grilled cheese sandwiches?

Very innovative! Lol!!

And there was the time I ordered the mushroom swiss burger and they asked what kind of cheese I wanted on it

This is unbelievably gross. But appropriate strip material nonetheless.

I hope they wiped down the bleacher before they started grilling.
