I tried 'Baking Soda' (by that, I assumed the instructions meant Bicarbonate of Soda); I tried Grandpa. No sign of the Barracuda returning to the surface. I need something fizzier. So I found a tube of Vitathion tablets and gave that a crack. Saw a mess of bubbles rising so something was happening. But the bubbles needed to be trapped in order for the 'Cuda to become positively buoyant and rise to the surface. So I sealed up the top portion with Presstick and presto! Such fun! Now I need more Vitathion.
LMAO such a stupid gimmick and yet that video proves it has some merit
ReplyDeleteStill, not enough to go out and purchase one I imagine. Down here there was the most obscene glut of these and Septic Tanks in every toystore back in the early nineties. But I couldn't exercise quality control back then. If it said GI Joe, I knew it would be fun.
DeleteI always referred to the tablet as an aspirin.
ReplyDeleteDon't be hating on the Septic Tanks, that served as my HiSS tank when I was a kid (always wanted a HiSS, at the time it was the closest I'd get till much later in life).
