    Buy our new "Flavour Blast" gum! You won't have to worry about how long the flavour lasts!

    We sneaked benzocaine out of the lab in college, put it in gum and gave them to unsuspecting victims.
    Less explosive but a lot funnier. :D

    ...can any explosive expert here confirm that the amount he would have put in his mouth would be enough to blow it up (even though we don't know what it is)? :?

    She said the 25-year-old mistook the powder for citric acid, which he often added to prolong the gum's taste.


    Why the @$%# are you dipping something you're going to put into your mouth into anything, never mind an unlabeled substance in a chemistry lab? Darwin award nominee.
