Erp. Okay, so maybe now I don't feel so bad for being a tad bit scared. You know, if I ever were cooking and a fire happened, my first instinct would probably be to get some water. Maybe when I have a kitchen of my own I'll have to put the baking soda in a very conspicuous place.

I guess the difference between the first and second time was that more liquid got in the can.... Someone noted that it would be more efficient if you were to pour the water directly in, but part (if not all) of your body would be burned to a crisp.
