The story · 1990

The story of Erupt-o-Matic Volcano

The Erupt-o-Matic was the reason a hundred science fair tables looked identical. Pour in vinegar, step back and watch red foam bubble over the plastic crater. Kids reloaded it again and again until the kitchen smelled like salad dressing. It won zero ribbons but delivered countless eruptions.

Fun fact

Adding dish soap made the eruptions twice as foamy, a tip passed down by older siblings like ancient wisdom.
