[ElleBella95]

A BIG-LIPPED ALLIGATOR MOMENT.

[123reef1]

An ALLIGATOR!?!?!?!?

[Milchkartoffel]

1:12 the glass part looks like a dildo

[caliusoptimus]

baking soda + vinegar + drain clog = bubbles

drain cleaner + clog = no more clog

youd have to be terminally stoned to miss the logic here....

[freakin1random]

or you can just use draino anyway? btw, both baking soda and vinegar are toxic :). so is table salt. Dont forget about the jelly. I want someone to eat a spoonfull of vasoline without dieing.

[TylerMontana]

I guess there's an aligator in my drain too...

[TeslaWasHere]

They're not directly toxic. They're just highly corrosive or strong oxidizers.

[AoifeStair]

I don't understand why you just don't use a toilet plunger.

[nathanfishing3000]

1:33 is soooo funny

[ramonasplumber]

you can also clear a drain clog with a shop vac. I have a video on that subject.

[bvabhi]

what was the alligator doing in a sewage pipe

[Himmer66]

This only works for mild clogs, and not even garanteed - this will cause more harm than good as it will harden inside your pipes and might cause the clog to worsen - Might be useful for mild P Trap clogs but for clogs further down the line you will need an auger OR even bleach might work most of the time and is safe !

[BalooDumptruck]

hiow the fuck did an alligator get in there

[14lessthan1]

that plunger looks like a dildo

[itsdalena]

thumbs up for you :D

[silentflame23]

[Raptinox]

[mangoic]

Not only big alligator, huge pipe too, wonder how that thing got into it?

[Dakrockson]

[999663isback]

[woodlie]

[MrPwnag3]

are you alibaster k abternabther

[bumblesofbees]

Daanng. The alligator thing? omg.

[ST0Psnitchin]

Well, I'm just a lazy person. :)

[ST0Psnitchin]

Why do all that when you can just pour down chemicals, it is less expensive and less time consuming.

[raminile]

and more harmful to basically everything

[yxhe]

Nice and helpful video. But could anybody explain to me that why we use mixture of baking soda and vinegar? I know they will react and produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and some ionic compounds. Why does it work? Could you explain to me? Thank you.

[bantekiatgmaildotcom]

It's actually the expansion that occurs during the reaction that "breaks up" the clog. The liquid carries some of the baking soda into the clog while the initial reaction is occurring. The reaction occurs fully and separates some of the clog. The hot water is then poured down which loosens the binders (i.e. oils, slime, sludge, etc.) by heating them up. You COULD clear a clogged drain with purely hot water, but the expansion of the baking soda and vinegar assists in actually loosening the clog.

[yxhe]

Thank you very much.

[bantekiatgmaildotcom]

Very much welcome. :)

[XOemopirateXO]

it's called draino, dude.

[frostygal111]

[FearStrudlePastry]

[XOemopirateXO]

who cares about chemicals people get exposed to them more than you think. what's a little more.

[FearStrudlePastry]

your a moron

this video says W/O chemicals

[XOemopirateXO]

i realize that dipshit, why do you think that i said WHAT'S A LITTLE MORE CHEMICALS we get exposed to them EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

jesus christ learn to read.

[kylanmon]

lol pwned

[FearStrudlePastry]

not come back in 10 mins and check what i typed

[FearStrudlePastry]

well listen here emowhore thats why they said w/o the chemicals because were exposed to them every day to cut down on the exposure dipshit mofo

[XOemopirateXO]

first of all, emowhore? seriously? LMFAO. dude i made this account when i was like 11, 3 years ago. emo pirate was a nickname dipshit.

yeah, that's why i said WHAT'S A LITTLE MORE it doesn't MATTER.

[FearStrudlePastry]

but w/o the chemicals it does matter because they cause damage to your organs wetard

[XOemopirateXO]

before you call me a retard you should probably learn how to spell it.

[FearStrudlePastry]

lol i spelt it like that on purpose

[XOemopirateXO]

that just makes it even more retarded to be honest.

[FearStrudlePastry]

duh i called you a weetard cause your stupider than a retard

[XOemopirateXO]

uh.. wow. i don't even know what to say to that. like, seriously, are you five? who calls someone a "weetard"?

[XxlargemanxX]

a retard?

[999663isback]

a Tard?

[ziberteck]

Not really, the water is sent to your septic tank. Has no effect on the incoming water.

[FearStrudlePastry]

your an idiot

its when you inhale the chemicals

thats what fucks you up retard

[ziberteck]

I'm not an idiot.. An idiot would be dumb enough to breath in the chemicals...

[Kessaka]

alligator? wth!

[somedudeandacomp]

They probably killed the alligator with drain o while it was passing through the drain :P

[tonylee1973]

Man I really needed this. I just moved into my first house.(I'm a bacheloer(and a poor speller). I hate using that poisinous stuff. Does this work on on toilets? I use way too much toilet paper.(I can't stand that feeling afterwords.

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

It's always good to have some Draino around just in case you need to hold up a convenience store or something and misplaced your gun.

[Dildofactorytester]

How'd a big ass alligator get in there?

[KayakFreak]

Excellent tutorial, but, c'mon, with my luck, that rag will come off the hose and cause a bigger clog. If you have my kinda luck, it'll happen to you too. ;) Thanks for the tutorial, though, :)

[bobilas]

some electrolite will do the job best this will also test your pipes if their good theil survive if not sell your home

[shahherwan93]

might as well call a plumber

[fingerkalis]

or you can just take the trap off and clean it out

[abcmissme]

an alligator?!... dang!

[lin110364]

LOL 1:33 is sooo funny

[aznlilhero]

wow. what could be clogged in there so tight. is it really possible for toilet water to burst up like that? haha cool

[Yutoli0]

A bit of NaOH (caustic soda) would sort that out.

[ivandefr]

thats the same as drano -_-

[Alemap7]

okay that was helpfull

[obamawalker]

An aligator! Nice.

[grodenbarg]

some good ol' TNT can do the job, but your plumbing fixtures won't survive. LOL!

(seriously do NOT try this at home!!)

[Sror3d]

The end is creepy

nice video

[DorkyLimabean]

or...you can get a hook, in this case it's a bent straightened metal clothes hanger, to take out the gunk. it's a nasty job but someone has got to do it.

[Ducktaped123]

[Swatme101]
