Would you believe that you could have hours of impressive recreational fun with a gum
wrapper?! Stick a piece of gum in your mouth and then wrap the foil around your thumb with about a
third hanging off. After making this cylinder, twist the top to secure it on your thumb, so you
have made a sort of cap on the end of your finger.
Take the thing off your thumb. Make a fist with a hollow tube inside. Place the
cap in the circle formed by your thumb and index finger. Make your fist loose enough so that there
is a hole at the bottom of your fist by your pinky. Take your free hand and strike the base of your
fist with the gum wrapper in it with your flattened palm.
The cap should pop and fly into the air about 10 or 12 feet due to the air
pressure forced on it by your fist. Gather up a group and see who can pop the highest rocket.
