The kids across the street knocked on the door and wanted to do some science experiments. We'd already made hollow pennies, by filing the edges off them and dissolving the zinc with hydrochloric (muriatic) acid. This time we cut the pennies up more so the zinc would dissolve faster and put balloons over the beakers. Hold the resulting balloon full of hydrogen over a flame, and "boom!".
