"In theory this is not chemical warfare" Might be the most modern rogue phrase ever.
It's got to be at least tied with "I need the dexterity."
Or apparently hydrogen is a thing
I am not suggesting that you should crush up one of those heaters, pour it into a 20 oz plastic bottle a quarter full of water, screw the cap on as fast as you can and pitch it far away from you
Having NOT been to a desert in the middle east, I CANNOT confirm this.
I haven't been to the desert either, but as a former National Guard. I can say it makes quite the noise
I used to do it with Gatorade bottles and tape the lid
I don't know if this counts if you're using an FRE but to do that with dry ice is illegal in several parts of the world. (Which is the only reason I have not yet done so.)
Not only have I not had the police called on me in the wee hours of the night for detonating the "explosive" you just described, I've also never accidentally created a crater in the dirt or set my lawn on fire while doing it either. Nope. Never.
"This is the dumbest thing we've ever done!" That's quite a claim for a Rogue.
I think Jason catching that knife is going to be hard to beat.
@@levilevis9032 that just blurs the line between dumb and unintended badass
@@Brixujel_Rimulex Sooo Deadpool?
@@levilevis9032 YUP! that is the perfect example
Also a reoccurring line for our favourite Rouges!
When I was in 8th grade, I had a really cool science teacher. One day when we were taking a test he started filling balloons with hydrogen and sticking a match to them behind us.
Just would casually set off small hydrogen bombs while we were trying to take a test and we'd turn around and he'd just be like "what?"
He did it 3 times.
Small side note. A hydrogen bomb is a nuclear weapon. He was giving you guys small Hindenburg type things!
Your teacher should have won a Nobel prize for inventing such a small hydrogen bomb.
That whole "hype bomb" thing is the biggest show of pure trust in the editor that I've seen in a while.
Jason breathing in the mystery chemicals while blowing up the balloon is peak MR
Bro! I laughed so hard when I saw that face! xD 7:52
I'm waking up
to Hacks and Busts
It smells like ass
from this bag of rust.
I'm breathing in
The Chemicals
The injury counter
is Gonna fall.
That face of "properly shouldn't have done that... did anybody see me do that?" Priceless! 🤣🤣
As a veteran of the wars in the early years of the wars in the middle east. We did in fact use the mre heaters as homemade gas bombs to chase off locals from checkpoints and equipment. This is why the the hot sauce was removed from our mres.
Punished for ingenuity? Must be government.
Ingenious, nonlethal, yes, something they could get in serious trouble for, also yes
Removed from SOME of them, given I had sauce in one the other day.
@@airkami Couldn’t be anyone else could it.
@@stevenemery4038 I think the brisket or the chili have hot sauce in them
You can help out the MRE heaters by adding a 2-3 teaspoons of table salt. That’s a trick we use in the field to get them to go a bit more aggressively.
1. Yes, this is totally a thing...
2. Mil generally doesn't have balloons in the sandbox. What is plentiful? Water/Gatorade bottles.
3. 3-5 heaters, cut along the side to empty the powder into the bottle. Dump a 1:2 ratio of Tabasco and Water, cap, shake, Chuck.
Cheers
Bingo thats the standard way to do them
Calling the US Military a bunch of Merry Pranksters is the realest
We poked small holes in the bottles to aerosol the tobacco sauce to make "Sapper CS gas"
surprisingly effective to throw into an enclosed bunker as a distraction before you go in shooting,their eyes are burning and watering and they don't know what hit them
This is the way!
From what I've heard, soldiers also take the pouches themselves and put them inside half empty water bottles, put the cap back on, and it turns into a weapons grade water balloon.
Imagine putting like airsoft bbs in it
@@reboottheconsole998 or just....... regular BBs
@@timlangdon5923 perhaps a slew of pellets mixed in with the bbs for more of a shrapnel effect.
Half full is way to much water. In this case less is more.
Weapons grade water balloon is a phrase I didn’t know I needed to hear today.
Jason, "shall we make explosive tear gas balloons? "
Brian, " you had me at explosive."
4:23 .. You guys _just_ referenced why you should _NEVER_ stick your face into something and sniff at a caustic concoction you’re making… Then Jason goes and does it AGAIN!
Does nobody remember from high school chemistry that you should use a hand to “waft” over the container?
You honestly think Guile from Street Fighter and his motley crew of misfits took high school chemistry? The closest Brian has ever gotten to studying chemistry was when he was doing research for his fire eating. There’s a reason they hired their resident adult, Corey.
Acid into water
High school chemistry safety is about unknown/unsafe chemicals. This was just *dumb*, not really unsafe.
You can buy these 7 foot balloons on Amazon, if you crushed up the packs and put them in there WITH the hot suace. 😅
The words of a true rogue
Note from a hobbyist chemist....that definitely didn't cause an uptick in calls to 911 in 5 suburbs...don't fill large balloons/weather balloons with hydrogen.
😱
@Zam
Oooof!
He's lucky to have gotten away having only lost his eyebrows! That is one DANGEROUS mix to have 😱
That sounds beautiful
Brian tying these balloons off is what I imagine he looks like while making the balloons for his psychic surgery trick/effect...
Except that when they did the psychic surgery video, Jason didn't, y'know, explode.
Loved the Crocodile Dundee reference with the "ask your father" flicker. My three year old son calls you guys "the funny grandpas", you're welcome.
4:58 the occasional "ask your parents" asterisk always makes me laugh
ATF: Ok so you-
Modern Rougue: Woah woah woah who said anything about a bomb.
"We said 'It's NOT a bomb!'"
"That sentence has the word 'bomb' in it."
"So it's 'BOT a nomb!' Definitely 'Bot a nomb!'"
"what kind of pepper is in this tabasco?"

Murphy wondering how many years he just took off his life by breathing that in
The easiest way to make Brian leave a room would probably be to put vinegar in a humidifier
oh no
A buddy of mine tried cleaning out a humidifier
He ended up using a mixture of bleach and ammonia
Didn't help when he tried to run the humidifier to try and speed up the cleaning
@@thisaccountisntreal107 so is he alive? how long did he have to crash at someone elses house
Do a mandalore gaming and put vodka into it
As someone who has done something like this in the military it’s super effective if you throw the powder into a water bottle with water, tobasco, and the chemicals from a glow stick to make a cs gr***de that makes whoever you throw it at glow, cough, sneeze etc. and it is hilarious
Sounds Useful if nobody has smoke or bang grenades.
I like how they never opened the actual heater to easily dump the contents into the balloon. Or for that matter, put the contents into say one of those water bottles, where there is plenty of room to dump it, along with water and tobassco and an easy to screw on lid to boot. Dump, screw on lid, shake RUN!
That's too obvious, it's always let's do this the hardest way we can think of.
Surprisingly, Tabasco hot sauce is made with... Tabasco peppers! Similar to cayenne on the scoville scale but have that distinct flavor. It's also aged in whiskey or bourbon barrels(can't remember which) for 7 years I believe.
Bourbon. They use old Jack Daniel's Barrels.
@@thegentlemanpirate13 That's what I thought, I was too lazy and busy watching them make things go boom to look it up! 😁
@@thegentlemanpirate13 not exactly bourbon. It's Tennessee whiskey, which meets all the legal requirements to be bourbon (and for the purposes of export is considered bourbon) but has additional steps in it's manufacture that makes it different.
Beian: "Quick! We need something to protect me from this hydrogen explosion..."
Cory: "Here, take this flammable diffuser cloth!"
Looks like the fire blanket they used with the extinguishers
Nice job editors. That hype bomb segment was pretty good. Gave me a good laugh.
In 7th grade, my science teacher was retiring. At the end of the school year, she decided to try an experiment. Mix this one tablet with water in a flask with a narrow opening. With a balloon, capture the hydrogen gas from the chemical reaction, then tie off the balloons. Since it was a class we did groups of 3, so we had 8 or 9 balloons. The teacher then took a lot match on the far end of a meter stick to light each balloon. For my next class I was against a wall. You could feel the wall shake for every balloon popped from the next room over. That said it was a temp wall dividing a large room into 2 smaller class rooms.
Wow! Cool teacher to have done that and not hurt anyone or anything!
All the vets watching this
*quiet chuckling and reminiscing of smoking out their bunkmates*
BRIAN: ”Is it dangerous?"
JASON: "I think we are going to be okay"
ME: grabs popcorn 🤣
This is one of the most Modern Rogue episodes ever.
**Brian Brushwood:** "It's weird that you portray our US Military as... merry pranksters."
**Me as a Cavalry Scout:** 😈
Also... we use a pop bottle. ;-)
Whatever you do, don't repeat this experiment using a tightly-sealed plastic 2-liter soda bottle in place of a balloon. Definitely don't do that.
Lol. I just had Tabasco in my vegetables while I was eating lunch at work. I LOVE the stuff. But I also love habeneros and Thai chilis and ghost peppers. Ghost pepper mustard on a burger is GREAT!
Carolina Reaper, baby!!! Hottest thing going!
Whatever you do don't put the heater in a Gatorade bottle ,add Tabasco, seal it tight, and toss it in someone room or car.
3:00 “Chekhov’s food heater”. Highly under-commented-upon, but I offer a “Cheers!” from the lit crit/dramaturgy folk!
The reason they say "Red pepper" is because Tabasco has actually engineered their own patented pepper. Known as the Tabasco pepper
"it likes you," brian says lustfully as he stares into jasons eyes, unwavering as he shakes the tobasco bottle with both hands
Best thumbnail so far. Never clicked so fast in a video because of a thumbnail.
We're worried about being Misheard, and getting in trouble for "Bomb".
How about Hype Bomb, it is the closest we can get to Pipe Bomb... so that will clear things up.... Right?
How come it doesn't censor you when you say **** bomb? I just wanna say **** bomb too.
They stopped putting tabasco in MREs quite a while back, to the dismay of all of us who enjoyed hi jinks during field problems. But the bottles were pretty tiny, so they needed some help. Most of the time it was just putting them in gatorade bottles with some water, shaking them up, and leaving them somewhere to create a fun surprise for somebody.
Jason blowing the lid off of Big Hydrogen…
"Inside it says what pepper, just red pepper" its variety of chili pepper called Tabasco peppers. The peppers are fermented but the smell comes primarily from the vinegar.
Okay.... Army infantry here, from 1992-1995, then cavalry scout from 1999-2000.
Yes, MRE bom-- er.... MRE BOOPS ( ;D ) were definitely a thing when I was in. Ideally, you would place the heating pack inside a 20 oz soda or water bottle, add some water, then put the lid of the bottle on tight. You would then either drop the bottle and vacate the area, or you would throw that s.o.b., because when it went off, your ear drums were gonna kick your ass.
True story: in 1994, I took part in a field training exercise where I got to play a civilian agitator for a week. At the end of the week, we decided to make a bunch of MRE boops in order to harass the unit that was training at the time. After everything was over, we still had plenty of boops left, so the following morning, we went to the top of the building we were in (downtown MOUT City, for those who've done it), and started setting and tossing boops over the side, just for the heck of it. I'd taken a 2 liter bottle, put two heaters inside, added water, and sealed the cap. At that point, someone asked me a question, and I got distracted for maybe 3 or 4 seconds. Another soldier shouted my name, and pointed hastily at the bottle I was holding by its neck, which had rapidly expanded to almost 3 times its size. In a panic, I underhand tossed it away, and it popped about ten feet from me. In the open air, on top of a roof, with no walls around.
It sounded and felt like I'd fired off a mortar right next to me (a sound I was intimately familiar with, so this isn't hyperbole). My ears rang for a week. The concussion was so surprising that I skittered back like a scared puppy and almost tripped over my own feet. As a close range distraction, they can be amazingly effective. So yes... merry pranksters we be, though not incredibly bright at times.
Gunpowder and Tabasco smoke diversions are a story for another day. :)
Tabasco is made with a zesty blend of three different peppers-smooth cayenne pepper, oak-aged pepper mash, and mellow red jalapeño, all infused with savory garlic
"Geneva Convention-B-Gone!"
Speaking from my own time in the USMC, tabasco wasn't the worst or only thing you could put in these. Various MRE fillings are really quite bad if you put them in directly with the heater.
As a veteran, I can confirm the military is indeed a merry band of pranksters. MRE hoorays and tobasco MRE hoorays are a thing.
Completely ignoring the fill line: Classic Modern Rogue
Modern MRE heaters (for the us military/department of defense) definitely still use water and definitely still work in the same way as shown.
We wanted to play a prank on our CO with this "trick"..
We didn't use a balloon though, we used a Gatorade bottle, and we removed the heating element from the "paper" housing.
We had bought a bottle of 'The Bomb' (seen on First we feasts Hot Ones) instead of Tabasco.
One of my buddies had the genius idea that we should test it on ourselves before, so we knew that no permanent harm would come to her.
Long story short, we did not use the "The Stink Bomb" as we called it, on our CO, because we all threw up and had severe eye/mouth/nasal pains for 2 days after that.
It would not have been fair to her, since she was going on deployment the week after.
When Brian holds open the balloon while wearing his wedding ring, it reminds me of something. Goat set? Boat Sea? What was it called again?
I feel like we need more cameras to get wider shots so we can see the reactions of the crew to everything more often.
There's something special about 2 grown men trying to fit folded heatpacks in a balloon to fill with tobasco knowing full well nothing good can come of it while a film crew cowers behind rudimentary safety that is making a shield out of their shirts and sunglasses.
You can also use the drink bag that comes with your MRE to make pressure chamber that blows long before it gets dangerous
Watching Jason handle that balloon makes me wonder how he's managed to not have any kids...
Can confirm. Smelling things is pretty much the thing crawling into your nose.
we use to put them on a 2 liter pop bottles. just cut the heaters in single strips, put them in the bottle and add water. makes for a really loud explosion.
I don't know where you got the source about modern MRE heaters, but the ones I had last week still had these heaters in them. I've never seen another heater in use.
I love cory in the background lmao
I kind of have to doubt the origin story by how precious I've heard tabasco can be.
I love how this video is so much like 2 kids doing stuff they shouldn't be doing
This is by far my favorite duo since laurel and hardy.
Let us pray that they never find out how to get their hands on a radioactive ration heater.
nice bigclive reference :D
Tobacco sauce uses the Tabasco chili pepper 🌶 in its production. This is a short and thin hot chili pepper 🌶 similar to the Asian and African varieties of Birds Eye Chili Pepper 🌶 at least in shape and size. The Asian Birds Eye is often sold Asian markets as the Thai Chili pepper 🌶 and the African version is known as Puri-Puri and is the main ingredient in Portuguese Puri-Puri sauce which is a key ingredient in Puri-Puri chicken, a popular dish both in Portugal and in former Portuguese colonies in Africa (and nearby countries like South Africa). Crystal Hot sauce, the other well known Louisiana hot sauce uses Cayenne Peppers 🌶. As does Frank’s Red Hot and Texas Pete (not made in Texas but in North Carolina).
I'm in the army we use Gatorade bottles to make bigger boom
If you get gallium and aluminum and mix them, the gallium allows aluminum to react with water making hydrogen and aluminum oxide, this is a very efficient process and you recover the gallium, so you just need to use new aluminum metal.
They did it wrong.
You take a empty water bottle and the cut open the heat and dump the contents of the heater into the water bottle.
You then add the hot sauce into the bottle and then put the cap back on.
I've known about this since 2006 we made these all the time in the army national guard. It works best when you roll up the heater and stuff it into a water bottle or Gatorade bottle but add hot sauce and water then quickly put the cap on
Place packet in balloon, put hot sauce in plastic water bottle, slightly inflate balloon, place balloon over mouth of water bottle, over turn water bottle allowing hot sauce to contact packet within balloon, quickly tie balloon, wait for rupture. Adjust air added to balloon as needed for volume of liquid and rupture point of balloon. Brought to you by the USMC.
"...Are you gonna hit me? Or are we fist bumping" Lol I've never seen jason cower in fear like that
for best effect, cut the heater open and pour the powder into a DRY water bottle. Add hot sauce and force the mouth of a balloon over the mouth of the bottle.
We used to cut open 2 or 3 of those heaters, empty then into a dry water bottle, then mix in even parts water and tobasco and put the lid on. Be sure to chuck it far away from yourself.
“I mean, it is weird for you to portray the US military as merry pranksters”
Brian hasn’t met enough service members
That Tabasco sauce was coveted among soldiers, had to use a few tiny bottles to make anything palatable
Pro tip: those aluminum beer bottles with the screwtop lids....it sounds like a shotgun going off. Ps. Also you can cut packet open and just pour powder out its easier.
Guys, the next time you want to pour a liquid into a balloon: put it in a bottle, put the balloon over the neck of the bottle and flip it.
The best videos start with “not a bomb”
The thing you guys missed is that you use a couple heaters and shove it all in a Gatorade bottle. It will vaporize the contents better also it will make a big boom which is fun
Never did Tabasco. We used to dump those and water into a soda bottle. Nice loud bang. Especially if you do that at 2 in the morning in the middle of a tent city.
pro tip: cut open mre heater, use funnel to pour contents plus liquid into balloon.
But doing it right would be off-brand, I know
Yup made a few of those back when. Water bottles with a few packs work great.
At 6:41 my first thought was "Brian is *really* trying to reset the injury counter today, jeeze."
"Geneva convention be gone"
Create one of these, but activate it with honey to make a lava bomb. And then afterwards, you're fully murdered by ants who also clean up the evidence.
If you turn a can of computer duster upside-down and light it, it yields a convincing approximation of tear gas (and does a passable imitation of a flame thrower). I found out the hard way, in the course of trying to toast a ground hornet nest.
Whoa!
I'm a little disappointed Mr. Macaulay Culkin couldn't be here to yell about hydrogen. Great video though as always guys.
"They speak English in Promo Code?" that really got me lol
Put the heater in an empty water bottle, add hot sauce, fill bottle a quarter with water, cap, shack and throw.
"This is Hydrogen?!"....Should we use fire?" 😂😂😂😂
you would think after sticking there faces over possible dangerous fumes they would learn about the middle school concept of "Wofting" towards your nasal cavities as to not stick your face over possible dangerous fumes...lol love you guys lol
6:39
"(Laughs in terror)"
Ah, i love this.. 😋
Crocodile Dundee was awesome. Linda Kozlowski in that black one piece right before the croc almost eats her, I was like 5 or 6 the first time I saw it but that scene made me feel grown up if you know what I mean.
6:34 this summarizes everything about the modern rogue
Tabasco sauce, uses tabasco peppers, and cayenne peppers, in a blend, both are "red" peppers though.
Always thought the MRE heater/ Tabasco connection was that soldiers used the little Tabasco bottle that was included in some rations´ accessory packets as a pressure vessel/ frag hull for the reactive mix.
Seems like the method you showed is less likely to have a bad outcome, though.
The Tabasco bottles that came with the MREs while I was in were incredibly small, not large enough to effectively load and set off. If one were able to, though, I imagine the plastic cap would give way before the bottle did, but I've no way to know.
@@the_part_time_geek Yeah I remembered it wrong, I was thinking of this video but they used a bigger bottle.
ruclips.net/video/ufOGtbY6bgs/видео.html
@@nilsschenkel7149 No worries... I was active duty 26 years ago. I've NO clue how they've changed MREs since then, so there may be some veracity to your statement, I honestly don't know. I was just attempting to relay my experience while I was in.
If you're not a fan of the classic tabasco, you should try the chipotle tabasco sauce. I find it much better on eggs, in bloody maries, and everywhere else tabasco is used.
I mean if Joerg Sprave can make slingshots that can dive through like a foot of ballistics gelatin with some relatively cheap elastic and wood then I think bombs(of this scale) are aight now.
Works best when you put the heater inside of a Gatorade bottle, then a the Tabasco. Might be speaking from experience...
I'm just perplexed by the "Modern MRE heaters no longer use water or produce hydrogen" line because all the way through OSUT this last year our MREs still had water heaters, and it's the same thing at drill as recent as last month even. Whatever these "modern" waterless heaters are, they certainly aren't actually being used by the military - at least not in the MREs we got at Fort Benning nor at my unit in Pennsylvania National Guard.
The first time I had an MRE experience (with the FRH and everything) the first thing that the soldiers that were eating with me told me was: Do NOT breathe in the fumes from the FRH. And then I came to MR's channel and...
