Step 1: Meterials

DSC06661.JPG

You'll need to obtain an empty soda can(Oh, goodie! caffinated goodness!), and about 70 mL of water. The amount doesn't have to be exact, but it has to fill about 1/5 of the can.

water... soda can. while drinking the soda you can stop at a point and do this trick too.

this is funny. you can also make this a bet; show your friend the trick. give them a diffrent soda can. they wont be able to do this.

or you could hot glue a soda can to your table
dodo91 says: Mar 20, 2009. 8:42 PM
if you glued it, it would be obvious. like, they would want to pick it up to examine it.
The Mollusk (author) says: Mar 7, 2009. 12:51 PM
True, but then it wouldnt roll around the table.

i do this all the time, its actually weird because i just showed my dad, and a guy at work this. they were amazed. i would love to just start leaving these around, after you get done with them, to confuse people.

i actually do this at chess tournaments so no one will take my soda. I am the only one there that knows how to do that.
The Mollusk (author) says: Jul 21, 2008. 7:24 PM
LOL Awesome, actually I was thinking that you could do it with jello mix and then leave it in the fridge so that it gets jello-ey and then they wouldn't fall as easily.

or pour lead in the bottom of one and seal the top back up, and make it a desk object thing
The Mollusk (author) says: Jul 22, 2008. 6:17 PM
That could work, but the lead might start to solidify in the way down and gather in a place higher than you want it to. I'll try it with lead-free solder (I don't know where to find lead, besides, the solder will be heavy enough) and tell you how it goes.
John Smith says: Jul 22, 2008. 8:55 PM
alright, cool.

Cool. Short, simple and something I've never seen done before.
