Tried a new penetrating oil on a seized caliper bolt in a Tacoma and it actually worked too well

I was working on a 2015 Tacoma with a rear caliper bolt that was completely frozen. I grabbed a can of this new stuff called 'Freeze-Off' instead of my usual PB Blaster. After two sprays and waiting about ten minutes, the bolt came out so easily I almost stripped the head with my impact because I wasn't ready for it. Has anyone else had a penetrant work a little too fast and cause a different problem?

Sounds like a good problem to have, honestly.

Wait, hold on, a good problem? The guy said he had to rent a second freezer just for his bulk meat haul. That's a whole extra appliance and a monthly bill because he bought too much ground beef. That's not a win, that's a storage crisis.

Ngl, the real win here is he's probably got enough meat to skip grocery runs for months, which saves way more than the freezer costs in gas and impulse buys.
