At the youth camps I worked at back in the day, we'd get the kids to chug a Sprite as fast as possible, then run about 20 yards to the other end of the area, peel and eat a bananna as fast as they could, then run back.

In case you don't know, that combo = vomit reflex, so we'd all get a kick outta watching the kis trying to NOT puke their guts out.

I watched the OP's video.

Dude, do you realize that when you put the cap back on the bottle you effectively made a bomb? I'm glad no one got hurt. An exploding 2-liter bottle can cause some serious damage.

Another fun thing to do is have a saltine cracker eating contest. They get all excited thinking they can eat a whole sleeve of crackers in a few minutes and then they get on cracker #5 and reality kicks them in the mouth.

A little water, a few rocks of carbide, screw the lid on tight, & toss.

Wait... wait... wait... KABLOOEY!

Heh, there's an Ebaum's video someplace of a kid losing a few fingers to an exploding 2-liter bottle.
