    For a fun prank, pour out a small drop of Nitroglycerin and smack it with a hammer to scare your friends. :^)

      Ah, a fun little joke I can do with the nitroglycerin I definitely don’t have because that would probably be illegal

        Just develop a heart condition and they’ll straight up give it to you. Easy peasy.

          As a bonus, if we already have a heart condition and an abundant supply of prescription nitroglycerin tabs, we can perform the aforementioned prank to give all our friends heart attacks too! 😄

              A tab of NTG is only 0.5mg, a drop of pure NTG (so around the size of the tab) would be in the ballpark of 125 mg, so the tablet contains very little NTG. Id wager a tiny pop if any.

                Maybe it’ll be like the 4th of July in your kitchen. It’s worth a try. Make sure to video it and let us know how it turns out.

        This triggered a lost memory of watching bootleg MacGyver with some friends while getting blackout drunk celebrating Estonian reindependence after the soviet occupation collapsed. It was in German (None of us spoke German) and he was also doing something with some nitroglycerin on a truck.
