Welcome back to ' Explosives Corner' , boys and girls!
Tonight your parents will explain how you can make explosives from standard, everyday household items. :)
Let's leave aside simple iron rust and Aluminium, and move on.

Some of us may have more knowledge than we may wish to share.

We grew up in a different, more carefree and possibly more dangerous time.
You could mess with explosives, but kiddie fiddling didn't even have a name back then.

It seems that more people than just I, are lucky to still be here?
Just one more 'inquisitive' child may have died from 'misadventure'?

Way off topic.
Let's get back to cheap sugar? :roll:

I don't think that sugar and sweet stuff, comes in cheaper than white granulated.
I tried sugar beet a few years back, but being a by product, Never held much hope.
A reputation it lived down to. :lol:
