That's what you get for training with SEMI-pros ... don't try this at home *kids

I actually did this as my high school chemistry project. I used 70% rubbing alcohol, 90% rubbing alcohol, and pure ether (don't try that at home, kids). You can get a number of different effects, only some of which were seen here.

As I recall, there were 5 distinct effects I noticed.
First, and most exciting, the jet. This was just a 2-6 foot jet of flame out the top, I surmised it was caused by low oxygen inside the glass making for a poor partial burn inside until the pressure pushes out enough unburnt vapor to burn outside. Depending on the fuel (both vapor level and fuel type), this could last up to 10 seconds.
There's a 'neck burn', where the flame hovers just inside the neck and just burns there, apparently in equilibrium, like an oil lamp.
There's the fire ball, which is just as it sounds, a round ball of fire, usually hovering in the top 1/3 of the bottle, sometimes bouncing up and down, but always centered.
There's the flash, where the entire interior flashes repeatedly, as seen in this video. This can end much more violently than it did here, 'pinging' the bottle loudly as the flashes get more powerful. When this happened with ether, we stopped, afraid we were making a glass bomb surrounded by high school kids.
Finally was the fire plane, also seen in this video, which can ascend, descend, or hover in place. This was my favorite effect, especially when it hovered and lasted up to 30 seconds long.

Good times, good times....FIRE GOOD.

They're doing it wrong.

To show how potent the medicine is, they have to underdose, not overdose. Don't try it at home kids!

Try this at home, kids!

Ok try this at home kids-

2 shots espresso of yer choice
16oz Cafe Du Monde
1-1/4Cup respectively, mixed, half n' half & heavy whipping cream
1-1/2 Tbsp or to taste, Ghirardeliia, Oopershnootzen, or whatever hardcore chocky powder you decide to pay too much for..

1 container big enoough to hold it all
*sm Agave syrup
sm sugar of yer choice
sm topping

Make the espresso and Cafe Du Monde according to preference-(mine's respectively with a standard sotvetop macchinetta for espressa,and simply drip through filter the CDM)

Inna separate accommodating sauce pan and stirring constantly, heat the mixture of H$H/HWC,and sugar(s) to just prior to boiling, the thing will want to rise up outta the saucepan...(don't be alarmed-turn off oven, light fuse, get away)this should be sufficient to produce a thickish creamy head, no unmixed chocky

add the milk stuff to the coffee combo, serves one strung-out fiend or four no-jaggers.

Black coffees' great as well, but some days for the sake of yer eccentric self or some other perosn yer trying to please, you have to go all-out.

Starbucks??? Ain't got shit on the above what with their syrup flavours and their fancy machinery and their wi-fi and New York Times...they sell cd's in Starbucks don't they??.....Like Bob Dylan's last album?? $90 coffee cups..Hrummmmph!
