Powerful Exploding BEAN CAN

A wildly imaginative idea by "rnickeymouse" (the guy who made the skateboarding dog video). Apparently he accidently did this in his toaster oven in his kitchen at an early age. The power of beans and steam, unleashed. I was amazed and had no idea it would do this.

Check out his amazing motorcycle footage, lots of crashes!

Cool. I used to work in Product Development at a cannery. If you fill a can with product, seam it, but don't process it in the retort, then the bacteria inside will grow. give off a gas and eventually the can will explode like this of it's own accord. I left a can of broccoli & stilton soup on the bench over the weekend by accident, came back on Monday morning and it was on the ceiling. The smell was something else. :-)

I heard there would be a "cool little explosion", so I tried this on a bonfire, standing about ten feet back. I would have even been closer if it wasn't such a hot fire. I don't know if the beans, the can or something else in the fire hit me, but it left a very painful red and black mess on my midsection and ruined a decent shirt. Someone else caught it in the arm. Not worth it, in normal speed.

Would love to see you guys blow a 50 gallon drum of beans.

This normally happens after I eat beans.

You can really see Newton's 3rd in action. Awesome stuff.

Nice one.

We did this with a can of ravioli double the size on a festival.

It left quite a mess at our camp site :)

News report - "Boston Baked Beans' stock suddenly fell through the floor after reports of cans exploding all across the United States. Scientific research suggests that the incidents occurred in a seemingly expanding ring originating in California from the backyard of a man named Jeff."
