Toilet bowl cleaner goes BOOM.
As is apparently the rule on this site, for every few insightful and relevant posts I write, I like to spice it up with something completely useless.
For the past few years, my brother-in-law and I have had a pre-4th of July tradition of making a few Works Bombs to get things going. If you know what those are, you might know it’s a pretty juvenile thing to do, but the amateur Mythbusters in us enjoy doing it.
The “bomb” works when the agent in the toilet cleaner reacts with the aluminum foil to create pressurized hydrogen and an exothermic reaction.
Anyway, I was clearing out the camcorder yesterday when I remembered that we had footage of this year’s jackassery. I put it together and thought I would share.
