I was at a bonfire a few years ago and there were various carbonated drinks there. I voiced my curiosity about what would happen if I put one of those drinks into the fire. So a friend of mine dropped one in. At first it seemed like nothing of importance was going to happen. But after about 20 minutes there was a loud bang, and the VERY hot liquid (along with embers and chunks of wood) exploded up and out of the fire. My ex, who was standing in front of me was coated and pelted, and I reached up and caught a piece of burning ember. He flipped out and various other people freaked out as well, wondering what happened.
I had a pretty bad burn from being completely idiotic, and my ex was upset because I somehow made my friend put the can in the fire. After I thought about it my knowledge of explosive things came back to me and I realized a carbonated can would boil and burst.
But I'm cute, so my stupidity is okay.
Right?

Though it does remind me of one of many campfire stories. So me and a couple friends were all sitting around on plastic lawn chairs (the seat and back were plastic mesh, with metal frames) around the fire. The fire was dying out. For some reason my friend Webster (nickname we call him that because he think he know everything, though in fairness he was quite smart) thought it be a good idea at the time to pour gasoline on the fire and I thought it seemed to be a good idea at the time because I knew the fire go right back up that gas stream and either scare him or catch him on fire.
So basically while he pours the gasoline the fire is going back up the stream of gas coming out the cannister, to which he freaks out and throws it. Luckily no one got hurt, but when he freaked out and threw the gas can the gas and fire did get on 2 of the lawn chairs and burn off the plastic leaving only the metal frames. I admit I still thought it was pretty funny until my pops found out. He was not too happy with me lol.
And sadly that's just one of the tamest stories that I am able to share on a Christian website. Sigh reminds me that I've done a lot of stupid crap when I was a teen.
