I don't know if you've tried it, it is called <A HREF="http://prague.tv/articles/zine/burcak" REL="nofollow">Bur?ák</A>. It is just as sticky. I can't vouch for its' explosive properties.<BR/><BR/>Chris - given the length of your limbs and your tendency to over enthusiasm I bet that was quite an explosion! Thank god it was dandelion and burdock and not vimto or you'd still be scrubbing now.dataphagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11507733077072722957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017286.post-1152674614248848742006-07-12T13:23:00.000+10:002006-07-12T13:23:00.000+10:00I remember, shortly after seeing "Cocktail" for th...I remember, shortly after seeing "Cocktail" for the first (and, I might point out, only) time, being momentarily inspired to fill a beaker with Dandelion & Burdock, place a lid upon the top, and engage in a Tom-Cruise-Cocktail-mixer dance routine. <BR/><BR/>The explosion was immense, and had me cleaning Dandelion & Burdock off the ceiling for a good couple of hours.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017286.post-1152627902637116082006-07-12T00:25:00.000+10:002006-07-12T00:25:00.000+10:00Oh yes, I remember the exploding ginger beer bottl...Oh yes, I remember the exploding ginger beer bottles, now you come to mention it. It's amazing how far pressurised ginger beer can travel when suddenly released - and how sticky it gets when it hits something (like the floor, the walls, the freezer, the winter's supply of logs, a stepladder...).
