I study chemistry and at school they taught as today how to give normal spoons a rainbow color by using household items only!
Materials needed it: 1) duct tape 2) a lighter, the bigger the flame on the lighter, the better. 3) A normal spoon. (Tea spoons work too but normal ones are the best for this experiment). 4) A faucet with cold water.
How to:
Step 1:Wrap the handle of the spoon in 4 to 6 layers of duct tape and hold the flame above the spoon until it gets very very hot, about 2 minutes should do it.
Step 2:Now that the spoon is hot, turn the cold water fauced at full force and hold the spoon underneath it.
Step 3: Profit.
The science behind it:
The duct tape is a good heat insulator and is needed so you can hold the spoon without getting burnt.
Lighter flame gives off various gases that stick to the surface of the spoon. (That's why you need to hold it for about 2 minutes or longer, so enough particles can stick to the spoon.)
Applying cold water while the spoon is hot forces the particles from the lighter to coagulate on the spoon and the sudden change in temperature causes the particles to react with the metal from the spoon to create new chemical bonds, giving off that beautiful rainbow color.

Now that you know how to make rainbow spoons, post results! (Don't worry, washing the spoon will remove the rainbow tint so they won't stay like that forever :P )

dont get it either

>hold the flame above the spoon until it gets very very hot Ok, I held the flame for 5 minutes above the spoon. Can confirm that the flame is very very hot. When I then put the still cold spoon into the water, nothing happens. What did I do wrong?

Holy shit. This death scam is still happening after more than 10 years?

explodes the spoon and possibly kills you with shrapnel
William Peterson
Honestly, if you trap people into this regurgitated meme, they deserve it.
David Long
dude if you want to troll be original, not lame ass weak sauce exploding spoon shit
Daniel Roberts
Spoon explodes causing major injury to your hands. If you're lucky, you will only need stitches. No matter what, you end up in the emergency room.
Isaac Sanchez
when you take something really hot and put cold water on it, it could shatter and send shards in your hand or face
With what? The duct tape roll? Tried that, the spoon is not impressed.
Cooper Perez
wat? since when metal explodes if its hot and you put it in cold water? maybe if its hot enough to be liquid but op said to use a lighter so no way.. i get the cool crystals troll but this is just stupid
anyone have a video of a spoon exploding with this method?
Ayden Campbell
No, because it doesn't fucking happen. Metal dilutes or contracts when there is a difference of temperature, it doesn't fucking explode.
Daniel Rivera
FUCK YOU MY IT ALMOST BLEW MY HAND OFF.
Michael Wilson
I tried it it looks so good try it Yea Forums!
Mason Moore
Nice! Can you post the result? That'll shut up this homophobic troll
Jonathan Stewart
It's only a very small amount of alloys that this method would even make explode. The overwhelming majority of metals couldn't be brought anywhere near hot enough with a lighter to change the grain size enough for it to do anything other than fuck up a heat treatment.
oh yeah wrap the tape on the wrong end. is that the last fake one or is there more I haven't seen?
Dominic Rogers
when i was a stupid kid, i put some cold water on a very hot lightbulb. Explosion occurred. Imagine that but with metal.
Michael Powell
Why don't YOU prove this experiment is dangerous instead? Where is your proof of accusations you little prick?
Luis Bailey
wow someone's testy I'm not doing it because I don't have autism. also why do you think I'm just gonna go back on my stance I've seen this troll before and its dumb of you to think someone will fall for it again. be original or be fag like op. cheers!
Ethan Perez
Kid probably watched some yt vid about dumb Yea Forums shit and wanted to try it himself lol
