Continuing the trend of asking the august members of this forum for information on some of their more dubious achievements, I'm curious about the accomplishments of devotees of the blood sport of food fights.
When I lived in the dorms at UCLA, food fights were a common occurrence. Different floors would threaten revenge on one another and sudden food fights would break out in the cafeteria, with various food missile designs flying over the heads of innocent civilian populations. If you had ever eaten the food you would know that this was a far better and safer use for it than actually eating it.
My modest contribution to food fight technology was the Coke and peanut butter bomb. I created the bomb by employing two of the small cardboard bowls used for the ice cream extruder which were cemented together using a gasket of peanut butter and then filling the cavity with coke before sealing the gasket. You had to work fairly quickly to put together a sufficient pile before the gasket failed, and there was some collateral damage when one of these split apart in mid flight, but the results when a Coke bomb erupted over a student's head could be rather spectacular.
Anyone else with a similar story to share?
