I normaly don't complain. But this has been bugging me since I saw the episode. Now I normally let others doo the complaining and when they do I usually add my 2-cents. But I've been waiting forever, and no one's caught this yet:
When they tested the "grenade proof fridge" so called, note that in the clip from the show the fridge was in a fixed position, blocked on all sides. While in the test there was nothing around it, except the human plywood cut-outs. In the clip, all the sides, minus the door, were blocked and immovable. They had 1 wall blocking the left side of the fridge, another wall blocking the back, and a counter blocking the right side. So shouldn't that have some hinderance to the dirrection to which the fridge was blasted. Not to mention that the fridge was facing the wrong way, when blasted, in the test. The back of the fridge was facing the plywood cut-outs. So it propelled thataway, towards the cut-outs, when the grenade went off. THats all I caught wrong. If someone else caught this, then please tell me, so that I don't think I'm crazy. |

Don't forget that swollowing is not instantaneous. The mentos that guy swalloed could have still been in his esophagus. He also could have passed out from lack of oxygen due to the erupting coke spewing past his wind pipe. He could also have drowned by inhaling the spewing soda.

Kari, Grant, and Tory probably are going to revisit this one because they made their fake person drink the Coke and then eat the Mentos. In the video clip, the guy ate the Mentos first, and then drank the soda.
