There was an incident locally that involved a jaw breaker exploding in a kids hand when she was gonna eat it. A Jaw breaker... To this day they dont know how it blew up.

 

[Prince of China]

But now we do know why they're called Jaw Breakers!

 

[SnowBall]

I mean, thats not right... How does a jaw breaker just suddenly blow up?

 

[The Bear]

For that matter how does a cell phone blow up? I mean unles you are an advocate of spontanious combustion things such as cell phones not mention freakin jawbreakers jsut don't ecplode. It's probably a communist plot of some sort...

 

[Loshadka]

Poor quality lithium battery(remember how the old ones used to blow up?), or badly maintained.

 

[LoneDeranger]

I remember Israel used an exploding cellphone to assasinate a terrorist leader. They packed it with a small amount of C4 and set it to explode when he picked up a call.

 

[Loshadka]

Yap, and it was a hell of beautifull firework!

And what the hell is a jawbreaker? A device that breaks jaws?

 

[Prince of China]

It's a type of candy

This story kinda reminds me of that exploding robot from futurama (malfunctioning eddey?)

Hahaha, i remember that.



Perhaps the jawbreaker blew up because it was a particually warm day and there was a lot of air in the sweet, so when the air expeanded to a point where it could no longer be contained, it blew up. Or something similar.

Maybe some guy with an air rifle and a keen eye thought it would be a nice joke...

Nerdy Me Time:dork:!

Okey dokey...

My theory on the jawbreaker (Here in Oz we call them "Gobstoppers"):

Jaw breakers are extremely hard candies. Thus the name. Some brittle materials with extremely high tensile strengths have been known to "explode" due to internal stresses. This is actually more akin to shattering, as the term explode indicates some kind of actual explosive. The effect in the material's structure is somewhat like the "CRACK!" sound and sharp movement produced by bending a hard, dry yet springy tree branch until it snaps. Quartz crystals have been observed doing this, as have computer chips and other brittle objects:dork:.

Interestingly, a similar but truly explosive effect has been observed in old cannonballs dredged up from shipwrecks. The cannonballs are full of little pockets of hydrated rust (iron oxide with water mixed in), which dry out when the cannonballs are left in a warm, dry place. The evaporating water causes a chemical reaction in the now dry rust, which causes the internals of the ball to get hot. Thus more water is released. Which causes more rust reactions. Which makes the ball hotter. Which... well, I'm sure you get the picture. Basically, the ball either explodes from internal combustion and expansion, or gets hot enough (yellow-heat, I think) to actually burn/melt it's way through the desk. Many office workers coming back from a coffee break have been surprised to see that their prized holiday souvenier(sp?) paperweight has caused them no end of difficulty.

My theory about the mobile phones:

Acid. Or something. You can get a damn good explosion from an acidic reaction.:E

Whew... I do prattle on, don't I?

Hope I helped. Didn't mean to bore anyone:dork:...

Seeya.
