My teenage chemistry career was very much enhanced by those inert, light-tight containers. Perfect size too.

Null hypothesis = same time. Answer = absolute chaos. Luckily nobody lost an eye. <br />With ready access to dry-ice, it was also a mildly amusing party trick to have a loaded film-can in your pocket.

We make mini-bottle rockets out of them on the school lawn each fall. Just add water and an Alka-Seltzer tablet, put the lid on TIGHT and stand waaaaaaaayyyyyy back! <br />Oddly enough, the white ones really do seem to work better than the black ones with the gray lids. <br />The kids get super excited about it and then inevitably get upset when they realize that almost the only place to get these now is to order them off places like Amazon. The few with relatives like you who still have a stash come in the next morning bragging and are suddenly some of the most popular kids in the class (at least temporarily!).WatsonSciencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01410085262322771853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-23836232143140907622020-11-20T09:33:10.942-06:002020-11-20T09:33:10.942-06:00When I realized film was phasing out I hit our loc...When I realized film was phasing out I hit our local wally film processing center and cleaned them out a couple of times.
