For years a rumor floated around the Internet that regular Coke could dissolve the meat. Beg a piece of raw chicken or beef from Mom and divide it in half. Place each piece in a metal dish with a tight seal. Pour Coke over one piece and regular Kool Aid over the other piece. Seal the metal bowls and allow them to sit on the cabinet for 48 hours.
Check the condition of the meat at the end of the 48 hours. Describe the appearance, color and smell of the meat before discarding the contents of both bowls.
Puncture a small hole in the screw-on cap of a small plastic bottle. Insert the straw from a can of dusting air into the hole. The straw must fit snugly in the hole. Pour about a quarter inch of water into the base of your bottle and seal the bottle tightly. Connect the straw to the air can and direct the air blast toward the water. Continue to shoot air into the bottle until the water turns white and frothy. Remove the straw and slowly allow the air to exit the bottle by holding your finger over the hole. Shake the bottle while the air escapes and you will find the water turns to ice. (Don't eat or touch the ice.)
Take a disposable diaper and cut it open. Extract the small crystals that are sprinkled on the cotton batting in diaper and sprinkle them into a bowl. Mix a half cup of cold water with the crystals and stir with a craft stick or coffee stir stick. In less than a minute, the crystals will swell up and form fake snow you can play with. (Don't eat the fake snow, which is toxic.)
Leave a small carton of heavy cream out on the counter for about 12 hours so it reaches room temperature and the cream begins to ferment. Next pour the cream into a glass jar and seal it. Shake the jar in slow, even beats for about three minutes. Pour out the thin buttermilk and then pour 2 to 3 oz. of water into the jar and shake. Pour the water out of the jar and then you have ready-to-eat homemade butter.
