I should do a pole but I’m going to let all you
weenies off the hook.

There is an email that’s been out there for over a decade.
Some soccer mom who wants to enlighten the rest of us
on what she learned raising boys.

Yea you already know which one don’t you!

Bleach when mixed with Brake Fluid makes smoke,
A whole lot of SMOKE!

It DON’T work! But I bet you knew that! ;)

Yup I tried it the first time I read it over ten years ago!
Must be a guy thing.

On the 4th of July, 2006
I read in an email and heard a guy say on the radio say that
If you want a safe bottle rocket put Mentos in a 2 liter bottle
of diet pepsi. It will shoot a stream 20 ft up in the air.

It WORKS ! Except I only got about 10 ft. But then I only
got about 2 or 3 of them little buggers in before it started
blowing.

Even Mrs.Link and her mom thought it was pretty amazing.

Tech side:
The value pack has 6 rolls. Each roll has 14 or 15
pieces of mint in them.

Test 2: I will slice the side of the tube/roll and just shove the
whole thing in the bottle to achieve 20 feet!

Test 3: Same as test two except try to put the cap on and see
how long and big the explosion will be.

I could get wet and sticky with that one! :^
PS I don't think it has to be diet pepsi

Getting older is not an option after birth. Growing up is. :)

Have fun and do Try test 2 at home. It’s FUN

Bleach is an oxidiser, that is, it provides oxygen. It will essentially burn stuff up.

Mixing an oxidiser with any organic oil can create start to chemically burn the oil which can increase the temperature of the oil which can then get you above the flash point of the oil at which time it can actually start to burn with an open flame.

That is why you never store an oxidiser with any type of oil.

Hydrogen peroxide may work too.

To prove Kens point, make a cone shaped pile of powder pool shock with an indentation in top, pour brake fluid into the indentation. Run away. Watch as the whole thing goes up in a roaring blaze....

Avoid doing this indoors....
