Hey, when I was young, we blew up milk jugs all the time with dry ice. I’m wondering if they were doing that.

The other type of milk jug bomb, that I can remember, was the calcium chloride & water bomb. Harmless, but could be flammable.

People get too worked up over that stuff, now. Thanks muzzies!

Cheers

Ooops! Meant to say “calcium carbide.” Hey, it’s been about 40 years since I was a kid. My memory’s not what it used to be.

Cheers!

Do you mean calcium carbide, which forms acetylene when mixed with water?

A person can also get considerable innocent amusement out of filling balloons with oxyacetylene mixture from a welding torch (unlit), then putting the balloons in a paper bag and lighting the bag. Lots of noise, but no shrapnel aside from fragments of paper and rubber.

Or so I’m told.
