    @wonderofscience Bonus fact: this is the exact principle of a rocket engine.

    I wonder what the thrust here would be. Probably not much but also probably measurable?

          I always enjoyed those long, heart-to-heart talks with the fire marshal.

                @starraven @wonderofscience chemistry teacher here. I love this one and do it several times per year. The test tube ist normally busted afterwards because of the temperatures. I personally try to use ones that are quite beat up anyways.

                    Okay, you could have just told me you don't like gummy bears.

                      About a month back I was searching for a visual image to compliment my description of what would happen if you fell into a phosphoric acid reactor/dehydrator. The sort you'd see at a phosphorous mine.

                      My search has ended.

                                          The "Screaming Gummy Bear" chemistry demonstration involves dropping a gummy bear into a test tube of molten potassium chlorate (KClO₃), where the sugar reacts violently with the released oxygen producing bursts of flame and gas.
