Tide and gasoline you say. Hmmm… Didn’t know about that fun mix.

Funny.

I grew up as a military brat. As kids, we used to mix Tide and gasoline in a glass bottle, stopper it with a tampon, place several of these in a metal trash can and see whose lid blew the furthest.

I have GOT to make one of these….gotta keep it out of the reach of my kids, though.

Travis: So that’s what it’s called around here? Salt Peter? Back where I’m from we just called it Saletra. Good to know.

Varci: Even if someone would avoid eye-burn, and figure out it was a lazer pointer, they would doubtlessly decide to use it to play the “make the cat chase the red point” game. With this toy it could only end up with cat-burn, and possibly also small fire. LOL

Not to mention you have to destroy a perfectly good laser pointer to make it.

potassium-nitrate = Salt Peter…
Fucking amazing

ugh.. i would rather buy one. >.

I saw this and thought about making one… and then I realised I’d have to break it apart as soon as it was made. If I left it intact, then someone at some point is going to look into it or point it at someone else. It’s very cool, but extremely easy to have an accident. Eyeburn isn’t something easy to live with. I would caution any casual user to not make one of these.

Then I decided to tell those rambunctious kids to get the gosh darn hell away from my azaleas!
