35 years after being cast into the sea, a real-life message in a bottle has been washed ashore.

Back in 1973, an boy11-year-old threw a sealed-up bottle of Tab soda overboard with the message, “I am on the Vistafjord. Write back to Andrew Tallos.”

Andrew included his mailing address in the bottle, which a 26-year old traveller recently fonud on Middle Caicos. 

While you are not supposed to throw things into the sea or off of a cruise ship, we thought this story was pretty neat.
