Mom, breakfast was the bomb!

Tang, peroxide and a disposable camera - items you may very well have in your home - can be a deadly mix. Far-fetched as it sounds, bombs made from hydrogen peroxide and the breakfast powder drink Tang could have taken down seven planes...

Ok, so Tang and Peroxide (whatever % is needed, usually 3% sold in stores and 30% for rocket fuel) makes HMTD. With the easily made HMTD explosive, a simple spark of a camera flash ignites it. Sweet!

Hexamethylene triperoxide diamine, or HMTD is a high explosive organic chemical compound, first synthesised in 1885 by Legler.[1] The theorised structure lent itself well to acting as an initiating, or primary explosive. While still quite sensitive to shock and friction, it was relatively stable compared to other initiating explosives of the time,

HMTD may be prepared by the reaction of an aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide and hexamine in the presence of citric acid or dilute sulfuric acid as a catalyst.
