Custard Powder bomb fail
Science teacher had told us how to blow the lid off a can by putting a hose through the side, filling the end with custard powder, putting in a lit candle, banging the lid on and then blowing down the tube.
Mate was ready with the tube in one hand, me with the lid. This was the big one. He was ready for a really big blow, a little nervous. We had no idea how big a bang this could be, but we wanted a really big one.
In theory it's easy: Lid. Inhale. Tube to lips. Blow. Bang. Yay!
Except he was nervous, so it went: Lid. Tube to lips. Inhale. Splurgh.
Custard sick is *YELLOW*
