Welcome to our first contest! This is the official contest thread. If after a period of time no one identifies the item, we will post hints to this thread.

This video is one of the earlier ones that Chan and I made. We were totally surprised at the outcome as it was totally unexpected. Check it out and give us your best guess!

The item being microwaved is straight out of the box/package/wrapper/container. It was not changed in any way nor was anything added (such as glitter) to it to make it shoot flames.

The object is round and slightly larger in diameter than a quarter and it is about as high as 4 stacked quarters.

Wishing everyone out there a Happy Thanksgiving!

As far as I know, this item is only sold in one quantity, so I will describe how I have always seen it. I'm not saying that this is the only way the product is sold, it's just the only way I've ever seen it sold.

It is packaged as 10 units in a plastic cylinder or tube. They are not individually wrapped within the tube. The tube is in a cardboard box which has a flap. Below is a simple picture of what I mean when I say it has a flap which is represented by vertical bars (|). This is what it would look like from the side. I know the picture is pretty lame, but that's about the best I could do using text.

P.S. I wanted to make sure that this item shot flames by itself and that it was not due to any junk or residue that was left behind in the microwave oven which I believe you can see was pretty messy at the time. I microwaved another one of these and sure enough, it shot flames. I may post that video as another hint at some point.

P.P.S. I like everyone's guesses so far and I think it would be cool to try some of them in the micro in the future.

Here is that second video we mentioned.

Sorry for the funky yellow color, I need to figure out what's up with that next time.

On the box is the statement, "These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease."

Please note too that if you are "watching" this or any thread(s), e-mail notification of replies are not guaranteed. I have noticed that I am sometimes not receiving e-mail notifications when replies are posted to threads that I am "watching." In other words, it's safer to check in once in a while to see if replies are posted than to rely on being notified by e-mail.

Pballer312,

Congratulations, it's an Airborne tablet! Please PM (Private Message) me your preference, either PayPal (I'll need your PP e-mail address) or snail mail (I'll need your street address).

Thanks everyone for participating, it was a lot of fun. We'll be doing another contest soon.

Derek

P.S. Before you all go nuking Airborne, keep in mind that it will scorch your microwave ovens, so I highly discourage it! Kinda makes you wonder what's in that thing, huh?
