In 1995 a man tossed the bottle into Lake Michigan with a message in it.
Fast-forward 24 years, the bottled washed up on the Florida Gulf Coast over Memorial Day weekend where Gary Hendrickson found it. He said that he noticed that it smelled of bourbon when he pulled the note out
The note said: "Hello, June 16, 1995, Frankfort, Michigan, I've tossed this bottle into the water to bring joy to anyone who finds it, this whiskey bottle was full a few short hours earlier, if you find this call me, and I’ll buy you a drink."
When Hendrickson texted the number on the message, it worked and belonged to the man who originally threw the bottle into the water.
Since finding the bottle the two men have been in touch.
