It's a science thing, where you mix hydrogen peroxide, washing up liquid and yeast and it's supposed to make a foamy explosion. How did you do it? I'm trying to work out why ours failed miserably, I followed the instructions to the letter and nada, nothing, zilch. Just a tub of weird coloured liquid!

Put potassium iodide or manganese oxide in instead of yeast.

Hydrogen peroxide too weak? Temperature too cold? Yeast too old?

If the yeast was out of date, if it was very cold, or if you added the peroxide too soon that could have stopped it working.

What an idiot. I thought my yeast couldn't possibly be out of date, I didn't buy it THAT long ago! BBE June 2021 Hmm Guess I'll have to get some new yeast then and try again!
