Ah, the Fourth of July—a day filled with fireworks, freedom, and the sweet scent of barbecue.
Now imagine this: you’re the grill master, hero of the backyard, flipping burgers and turning hotdogs to the applause of friends and family. Suddenly, the flame sputters and then dies. Panic sets in. You’ve run out of propane.
Your perfectly planned cookout is teetering on the edge of disaster. Uncle Joe suggests starting a fire with sparklers. At the same time, Aunt Marge recommends microwaving the burgers, a culinary crime punishable by ridicule.
The kids, clutching their empty plates, look at you like you’ve single-handedly canceled Christmas.
As you scramble to find an open store, you realize your reputation as the neighborhood grilling guru is as charred as the half-cooked patties. And that, my friend, is how running out of propane can turn your star-spangled celebration into a flameout fiasco.
