If you get the consistency right (sort of plasticky, between hard and runny), a butter filled party popper can be accurate to 30 or 40 feet - just right for getting the people on "top table", and a buttery smear all over the DJ lapel of an "honoured" guest can bring a big smile to all ;-)))))) Happy Y2K

I have found that dry food products are the most spectacular for recharging party poppers with. Dry roasted penuts a particular favorite as they are often found in the same environment. Act a bit like a nicely flavoured shotgun. Tea bags absorb too much of the blast to be effective. Broken cheasy puffs or other airy type corn snacks can be effective too if not packed to densly. These have the benifit of a lighter weight than the previously mentioned penuts. My mum reckons rice would be a good one for impact damage or use a bit of wadding and then about 4mm layer of curry powder, then replace the outer carboard cover. Typically quite antiscocial if then placed back into an unsuspecting dinner party situation. Could also be used as a anti mugging device. The small explosive charge in the popper is sufficient as a detonator for black powder or nitroceleose however I feel that the stuctural integrity of the popper case may be impared under such expansion rates. I suppose the explosive force could be gently fortified using caps (from toy guns). I look forward to any more reaserch updates! oj

Huzzah! The results with coleslaw and tomato ketchup were impressive, but the best fun of all was had with a Muller Crunch Corner. Simply load a teaspoonful of little rice-crispie-style bits into the popper, followed by a small dollop of the custardy yoghurt substance for cementing and general glopping purposes, and away we go. The splatter on my mum & dad's neighbour's wall was a testament to a fine combination of low-grade explosives and semi-glutinous comestibles. |
