Anyone heard of this pill ?
 

I remember seeing a documentary on TV.

They were showing this crazy pill when it was put in the water it would freeze the water right away.


What in the gods name is the purpose of that?
They were saying its used in the army

Never heard of it, but I did hear of a drug that makes you orgasm every time you sneeze.

Whaaattt? Stop the crazy talk...

"I saw this pill once...Stay away...Far away"

Like freeze it as... into ice instantly? The only stuff I've ever heard of that could 'freeze' water near instantly was that powder like in diapers, but it makes me more like a gel than a solid, like this shit:

but I have not heard of a pill or anything to instantly freeze water. I guess it could be something like liquid nitrogen in pill form or something? Even then I don't see the point of it! :error :error

you could probably find it (or the chemicals to make that happen) at www.unitednuclear.com

Sodium Polyacrylate is an acrylate polymer which can absorb between 200 and 300 times its own weight of water. It is one of the superabsorbent polymer gels, known as a polyelectrolyte.
This long-chain polymer is absolutely amazing to see absorb water and expand to 100 times its original volume! A great demo is to put 10 grams in a large beaker and quickly pour in 200 ml of water.
In about 2 seconds, the Sodium Polyacrylate will erupt into a gigantic pile of what looks like artificial snow. It will feel cool to the touch (due to evaporation) but will remain completely dry. Best of all, just allow the material to dry out, and it will return to its original volume. It can be reused indefinitely.
Other than the erupting snow demonstration, there are an infinite amount of possible uses for this unique material. Completely safe & non-toxic.

2oz. $5.50

I wanna get some and try it out, seems like it would be something neat to play around with.

$140 for a small odd shaped chunk roughly the size of a couple of courters... Id like to get my hands on some real quality aerogel but its all reserved for NASA and JPL pfft.. jerks

I know! fucking Nasa queers :mad: Still though, it's neat that United Nuclear has any of the stuff period :1orglaugh

nope...haven't heard about it

ooo I wanna see...

wonder whatll happen if you swallow that

1 Homeless guy + $10.00 + Sodium Polyacrylate = BIG AMERICAN PARTY! Everyone disco dancing! Everyone having great time! OMG!! Bear is driving!! How can this be!!!
