                  is contained in a lot of weed killers. alternative it is sodium (natrium) chlorate. mix it with sugar and it burns with anice, hot yellow flame. if you put it in a closed container and ignite it it blows the container apart - a bomb! therefore, since the 9/11 events, i expect it has been taken off the shelves in the US of A.

                                              I hate to be a bore but candy doesn't actually make kids hyper, it was proved the other week on the telly in a controlled scientific experiment. Its the environment that the kids are in that make them hyper... Nice vid though!

                                                but it depends on where and when they are eating the candy, normally its a treat, so the enviroment will be different. Put them in a quiet room by themselves with some toys and candy, they won't go hyper. Then again it was proved scientifically. Its not my opinion, its a fact.

                                                          How exactly does this demonstrate an ammount of 'energy' being burned? Sorry, I'm no chemist but I know enough to recognize a real scientific experiment when I see one. Just cause you have a test tube and some pottasium chlorate doesnt make this any proof whatsoever that the length of time a gummi bear and m&m burn has anything to do with kids being hyper because of candy. There is actually little scientific evidance that supports sugar being the source of children being hyper.
