Mythbusting- Monday- 3rd period
The Danger Shop workshop today let out into a huge open field. No grass, no trees, nothing as far as the eye could see.
"Today we're testing whether you can make a cannon out of non-dairy creamer. You know, the can of powder you pour into coffee instead of milk?" Kitty said. "There's video of someone making a fireball out of that, so we're going to see a) if it's true, and b) if so, what you can do to make your own fire out of it. Also, for the love of god, never do this one at home."
So spoiler, this was gonna be super true.

First experiment
"Nothing's happening this way," she said, trying several times to light it. "So now we're going to try by getting some air into the mix. We're going to pour creamer onto the flame and see what happens."
And so she set up the next part of it, which had her lighting a candle to tip so that it hung over the edge of the table, pouring creamer over it. That, yes, definitely did catch on fire as it was falling. Which looked cool but was also extremely dangerous.
