I know of someone once many years ago decided to take some snow home in a thermos for Christmas to show his family what snow look like

I have a better one than that. I still  have a photograph of myself, 3 years old, taken out at Acme Photo Studio in 1954. It shows a big wet stain from front pocket to crotch on my short pants. Not pee at all. My grandparents had taken me to town to see Circus Romano at the Durban Race Track. They had given me a paper cup with Pepsi and ice cubes. I drank the Pepsi and put the ice cubes in my pocket for later. After the circus we dropped in at Acme and my grandmother was going to thump my head for "peeing" in my pants. "No, mai, ah de ice melt." They couldn't help laughing when I explained.
