How To: Make Pop Rocks
Do you remember eating Pop Rocks as a kid? I do. It was like a chemistry experiment exploding in my mouth every time I ate them. I thought that eating Pop Rocks was just one of those things from the '80s that parents let us do, like riding in the car without a seat belt. You know, one of those thing ...
A Social Experiment: Can Complete Strangers Fool You?
This is really interesting because when you think about it, we've all seen movies where the actors and actresses had chemistry. It doesn't even have to be a sexual chemistry, it could just be a chemistry that sucks us in and makes us believe what they are saying. If a movie is good, we'll get lost ...
Science: He Wore Jeans For 15 Months Without Washing Them
I know you are probably wondering how this article can be about science, but trust me, wearing jeans for 15 months without washing them is as much a science experiment as anything else. Can you even imagine the bacteria that would be growing on those badboys? Gross. Well, at least that is what any ...
Just Adding Milk Doesn’t Make It Cereal!
Robb Posch is my kinda guy. He approaches food from a ridiculous perspective, and he likes to experiment. Do you remember Nerds? Nerds were popular back in the 80s, as a matter of fact; they were "candy of the year" in 1985. It was a Willy Wonka candy that was kinda like SweeTarts, only way bett ...
Food Experiment: He Ate Only Candy For A Whole Week
I'm not a big candy eater because I'm not a fan of rotting out my teeth; however, I know a lot of people who love that sweet stuff. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to eat nothing but candy for a whole week? How would it affect your hunger? Would it make you have mood swings and go nu ...
Bored? Want a Light Show? Put a CD in the Microwave!
I love smashing, blowing up, destroying and burning things just to see what they look and feel like afterwards. I know, it's something teenagers do, but I can't help it. It's just hard to resist, and the fact that we aren't supposed to do it makes it even more fun.
Have you ever put a CD in the ...
Silly Putty 2.0 Has Arrived – It’s Magnetic & It Thinks
I loved playing with silly putty when I was a little girl. Back then, in the prehistoric ages, my parents actually read an old fashioned newspaper. My sisters and I would have fun imprinting the silly putty with the news.
Well, all that has changed. Introducing... the silly putty of the future ...
Can You Make A Rocket From Bacon? – Find Out Here
I know it sounds like a cliché, but I love bacon. I could eat bacon at every meal. I like my bacon crispy, even burnt. My son likes his bacon squishy. Between the two of us, we can tear through a couple pounds of bacon in no time flat.
I think that is one reason why I'm so amused with this vi ...

The Power of Temptation
We all know what it’s like to be tempted, and we each have our own threshold for self-control. Whether it's procrastination, eating junk food, reckless sex, whatever it may be, we all have the things in our life that make our knees weak and our hearts beat fast.
When that feeling of temptation o ...
Make a Paper Jet Engine!
Ok time for some science! Most of my youth was spent (or miss-spent depending on your perspective) burning or blowing stuff up. It must be a boy thing, almost like a right of passage, who knows.
Anyway, a good friend of mine who is now lecturing as a Dr of Chemical Engineering in a well known Eng ...
The Freak-of-Nature Egg
I grew up in the suburbs of Wisconsin and I've seen some pretty crazy things on my grandfather's farm, but I've never seen anything like this before. This egg is a total freak of nature.
First of all, I feel very sad for the chicken that laid this egg. She is probably in pain somewhere right ...
