do you think that a soda can would expolde if you put it in a paint agitator (shaker thing they have at the hardware store) for long enough?

[dla888]

It might work. If it does rupture it probably will at the part where the tab is.
When i was younger, me and one of my friends tossed a plastic bottle of Sierra Mist back and forth untill it exploded... in my hands. It was quite dramatic, the lid shot off, it didn't hit me.

I was board one day and decided to kick a bottle of coke down a hill, it hit a rock and exploded

P.S. i found the bottle of coke and it hadn't been opened 

[seabananers]

then why the hell didn't you drink it hobos with computers and good typing skills like me need that stuff to live don't waste

[drawe21]

No

[CybergothiChe]

no? did you try it?

[dodo91]

weird name. crazypoop? where did you think of that? was it a last minute name? not trying to sound rude. sorry if i am.

[CybergothiChe]

yep, last minute name indeed...but what is not to like about CRAZYPOOP!

[dodo91]

Nothing. it just sounded like last minute, like mine. i just thought of what i like, add a number and BAM, a name!

[CybergothiChe]

just like that? wow...amazing...science in action...lol

[dodo91]

thanks!

[CybergothiChe]

you are quite welcome...

Same here, only mine is more of my personality at most times. Most times I'm reading a book (Stephen King).

you'd get a much better explosion if you heated the can up to 200 degrees F in a double broiler and threw it at wall.

[PSPerson]

its double boiler... not broiler

[theRIAA]

dude i don't know what you're talking about

it's a double broiler

check out all double broilers

[PastTheVoid]

ASPLOSION! That might hurt though... I'm going to do it.

[mikeasaurus]

to further this thought: Take an old pop can that's been opened and fill with water, boil on stove top, then use tongs to grab it and drop in a bucket of cold water. Not as impressive but it's science!

[Kiteman]

Pop-cans are old hat. You ought to try it with something slightly larger.

[mikeasaurus]

Also Rochester, isn't North. I'll play the patriot card and just say: Canada

[anor09]

Well yeah, but it's cold enough here in the "Rocha-cha"

[mikeasaurus]

I was just kidding around. Believe me, Rochester gets much, much colder than it does here in Vancouver. Sometimes I wish we had snow like you guys do in the East, the trade off is mild weather, but rain in the winter.

Sometimes you just can't win. Lucky me I don't mind rain I guess.

[itsmanofpopsicle]

Here in WI, 20- has been recorded. 2 ft of snow. 2 FT!!!!!!!

[anor09]

Weather here's crazy, too unpredictable

[codongolev]

try northern ohio. :P

[dla888]

Try Nome, Alaska

[.happy.hippie.]

weather here in st. louis MO changes hourly

[dla888]

I wish nome was that way. When we get rain, It'll probably be raining for several days. Once we had a month of rain. Then again that could be a pain. It's sunny, now it's raining.

[bumpus]

Or even better, just throw it in the freezer, but why waste soda, and get the inside of your freezer all sticky

[PastTheVoid]

That my friend, is what pressure washers are for.

You can acheive similar effects if you leave a car in a dark car on hot days (+35oC)

[Gamer917]

thats biscuit dough, not soda

[ac1D]

mithbuster said no

[dodo91]

they said yes, not no. remember? this was the myth: a women went shopping. she put biscuit dough in her car, and then went shopping some more. she put all the stuff behind her. she got in. she herad a noise, like a gunshot. she felt a hard hit in the head. she touched the back of her head. her "brains" were coming out. she held her hand to her head until the paramedics arrived. they pulled her arm away, and they found dough. they tested it, and it worked. it does happen. with soda, im not quite sure.

[lukeyj15]

It's spelt Mythbusters

[ac1D]

+1 sorry for the mistake.

[lukeyj15]

No worries mate

[riyad2212]
