Those are just the ingredients. You still need a detonator.

My brother actually did that once while we were all out camping back in the day -- needless to say, it wasn't pretty and none of us even thought of trying it afterwards!

Not so much a joke, as a feel-good memory.

Am I right??

I haven't been reading through TUG threads for awhile, but I had to check in on this one (it's been my pandemic therapy). I REALLY wish there was a "groan" button! So many of these posts make me laugh, but they are SO bad!!!

The original intention of this thread was to provide a diversion during the pandemic shutdown. It has achieved that, and then some. I've enjoyed the heck out of this thread. Thanks to @Ken555 for starting it!

Dave, who frequently groans, too.

Those are good for illness. For any playground injury, there's a simple remedy:

Ditto (in a good way)!

How many remember these merry-go-rounds? One of our favorite recess activities was to pack people aboard, then a bunch of others would start spinning the contraption as fast they could. Once it starting spinning fast enough, the centrifugal forces were unresistible. People would start sliding toward the edge, and as they did the centrifugal forces would just become stronger. So once you lost center position it was all over. You could grab the bars and try to hang on, but not for long. Eventually you would be spun to the edge and launched off the contraption.

If you grabbed on to the very edge bars and tried to hang on and pull yourself back aboard, your feet, legs, and hips would just get pummeled as they device spun around. Great fun.

Also our playground was asphalt. None of that sissy grass stuff, like in the photo below. If you didn't stay on board, you paid the price.

And it taught physics as well, when you learned that the only safe spot was the very center of the device. If you were near the center spot, there was a battle going on to get to the very center as it started spinning faster and faster. If you got pushed or moved too far from the center, it was all over for you. If you were standing in the center and lost your balance .... sayonara to you.

Another fun game was to start the contraption spinning one direction, then reverse it, then reverse it again, etc. to see if you could get at least one person on board to puke. This was particularly fun during the lunch time recess, when stomachs were full.

Needless to say, in those days it was unthinkable to conduct school without a well-equipped nurse on duty.

Also note the tall metal slide in the background. Such heights are simply not allowed these days. And that galvanized metal on a hot summer day!!!! We learned at an early age about the perils of going commando.
