i saw practically the same thing play out IRL. years ago i worked in a chemical plant . we were fucking around one time and my co worker decided he was going to combine soda ash and citric acid in a pop bottle and see if it blew up .....well 50 grams and 50 grams mixed with water blew up a 1 liter pretty good so the next logical thing to do was put a pound of each in to a 2L. the bottle started blowing up like a balloon. it got huge and fell over . so what does my buddy do but reach out to stand it back up.as soon as he touched it it exploded. it was significantly louder than a 12g shotgun blast. it stretched the bottle out in to a 3ft long sheet of plastic. buddy had shrapnel from the lid in his hand and bicep . he was black and blue for a while . we are lucky the cops never came and lucky buddy didnt get seriously fucked up . good times

I especially like the part where they did this on a gravel pile to fill the explosion with shrapnely goodness.

Back in grad school we would regularly put dry ice in plastic pop bottles. It was slow enough that you could fill it, cap it, and then finish a beer or two before it exploded. While camping we would toss them in the river.

What, me? If I were going to have an alt here it would be something majestic and cool, like a mongoose. Or I'd go completely the opposite direction and play the village idiot that dumps dog food in the local stormwater pond, invents perpetual motion machines, and steels herbs from the grocery store.
