Who doesn’t love videos of stuff exploding? Who doesn’t love the crazy things you can do with toothpicks? When a friend of mine passed along this video featuring both toothpicks and explosions, I knew it was too good to keep to myself.
So how exactly did they turn four toothpicks into four awesome and repeated fireballs? I have no idea. Witchcraft, probably. Supposedly, those balls of fire are actually balls of plasma. Whatever it is, DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME kids! NO NO NO. This is the sort of thing you do when you go off to college and are drunk in the dorm at 4 AM.
When I was in college, all sorts of things got stuck in our microwaves. That’s why I defied safety regulations and brought a microwave from home that I kept hidden under my bed in a box. The common-area microwave was seriously gross, especially after someone microwaved a Styrofoam bowl full of cookies inside it.
