Experiments: Getting an egg into a bottle


Drop three lit matches into a glass bottle that has a narrow neck (a 500ml glass Coke bottle will probably work best). Quickly put a peeled, hard-boiled egg on the mouth of the bottle. Wait for it…yes, you’re eyes are not deceiving you: the egg actually gets sucked into the bottle!

And remember to save some eggs for breakfast!
