Blow Up a Balloon with Orange!

Did you know? Did you know that you can pop a ballon with nothing more than an orange? And no, it's not smashing the orange hard against the ballon!

yo can do this yourself, this is the result of limonene from the orange dissolving or weakening the rubber balloon. Limonene is an essential oil that is present in orange peels in fairly high concentrations (the pure compound smells very strongly of orange). Limonene is a hydrocarbon, and as such is quite flammable and you can even start a fire with an orange, seriously!!

Oh and thank you for sending us the video Maric!
