Lines: 13 I never could get them to eat enough Alka Seltzer back when I went to Wood Middle School in Alameda.. We had a great time trying to get them to explode, too... I remember all the talk about salting slugs- so I helped my friend's little brother celebrate "be cruel to snails week" and salted them... Didn't do a heck of a lot, tho. You had any luck with other creatures? Firecrackers are getting weaker with faster fuses every year, don't make very good bombs nowadays. M-80's cost too much.. Maybe we should find various ways of exploding the merchandise in a pet store and then digitise our findings to the net :-)! Anyone ever toss Alka Seltzer in a fish tank? Carl Greenberg P.S. Snorting Alka Seltzer was kind of "in" at the time there, too...
