Supermarket Science

It looks like magic but it’s not. Simple grocery store items are used to perform crazy and wacky science experiments. You’ll never see eggs, soda cans, toilet paper, bananas, water bottles and baby diapers the same way ever again. Safety is stressed, laughs are guaranteed. It’s Supermarket Science.
