Coke Can Experiment
Has everyone done this experiment where you heat up water in a coke can and flip it over into cold water and the can collapses? If you haven't you should - it's cool.

Cool, I'm going to try this later. My wife has a few cans of some crappy natural soda that the world could do without. I assume this is because of the carbonation? [/ QUOTE ] Nope, just water involved - you're using an empty can. It's an example of "nature abhors a vacuum".

Re: Coke Can Experiment
Put about 2 oz. of water in the can. Heat it up so that the water boils. Quickly grab the can and invert it into a pan that has 1 inch deep of ice-cold water in it. The can will squish with a "frooomp!!". Try not to burn yourself. I've done it with my bare hands, but the can does get a bit hot, and the steam coming from the can is really hot.
If you are really feeling sassy, do it with an old 50 gallon drum.......
