SUPER DARE: Candy Cane VS Molten Sodium Chlorate......KO

Would concentrated sulfuric acid have worked to initiate the reaction? I've seen a demonstration with potassium perchlorate mixed with starch that yielded the same result, but a drop of sulfuric acid was used to set it going. Same mechanism I think (starch= polymerized sugar). The only difficulty that I could see with using Sulf acid here is that the point of contact is powder/candy cane versus two finely mixed powders. Nice vid!

@Krindol to be honest i'm not sure, that's a good question! I'll see if i can try it out sometime in the future.
