Finish Your Pumpkin Carving With Explosives

This pumpkin-carving technique from the YouTube channel, TKOR (The King of Random), doesn’t make the process any easier or neater. In fact, it adds another step to the process with considerably more mess because once the jack-0′-lantern’s face was carved, instead of removing the cut pieces, the pumpkin was filled with water and calcium carbide to create a mix that produced acetylene gas with enough explosive power to blow the eyes and mouth pieces clean off the pumpkin. The satisfying boom more than makes up for the extra mess to clean up afterward.
