Spongey Situation

Guessed they missed the "soaking in wastewater part".

They described how they soaked the sponges in wastewater and then zapped them. But several experimenters evidently left out the crucial step of wetting the sponge.

You should put a jawbreaker in a microwave for like 2 minutes. Then give it to your kids. They are fun!

Haha...some of those kids really got burned up.

It basically turns the jawbreaker into a bomb....molten sugar in the middle with a high pressure being exerted on the outer (harder) shell....so once the kid bites on it.....KABLAAM!

Do you really think that burning kids is funny? You're pretty twisted.
