Rainbow Campfire Makes You Think You're Hallucinating


What's better than a nice, wholesome campfire in summer? Psychedelic flames!

Toss 2 or 3 unopened packets of Mystical Fire into your inferno, and watch the rainbow dance around as if you were on acid. Stairway to Heaven, man, I can see the music.

Outside, it looks like a bunch of little Sweet-tarts packets, but inside is a crushed mix of metal salts like strontium nitrate for red color and copper carbonate for blue color--the metal makes the hue, and the salt changes the flame temperature. But, beware--don't cook over the colored flames...you might ruin your good time by poisoning yourself--even more than you when you were in college. Just because it's a salt doesn't mean it makes your food tasty.

Dangerous. Groovy.
