Making potions when u were younger....

jamieh

I was in a pub with a few mates lastnight and the topic of making potions when u were younger. Turned out nearly all of have some memory of making a potion!!

I remember a friend and I used to raid all the presses in the kitchen, then raid the bathroom for more ingredients and mix it all together....lethal concoction!!

xzanti

mine usually consisted of Matey bubble bath, shampoo, my dads shaving foam, flash and whatever else I could find in the bathroom.. That was the only place I could lock myself in not be disturbed.. I'm lucky I didn't mix the wrong things and gas myself

jamieh

Nice one...and if u were feeling really adventurous you might put pour some of the concotion into a plant and see what happens

Myself and my sister used to be great at making fake vomit with the help of some household products. We'd make our concoction in the sink and carefully make sure we got a brown, thick consistency. We also threw in bits of carrots and turnips for that added effect. Foul-smelling stuff!

Ah, memories *wipes tear from eye*

Pighead

The only potions Pighead concocted when he was younger were the ones in his pants. Creamy Pant Potions FTW.

I made the odd bit of [SIZE=-1] methylenedioxymethamphetamine in my youth but I didn't venture any further than that.

After me and my friend would have our fill of kit-kats, crisps and coke in the pub on Sundays, we would then try to relieve our boredom of waiting for our boozing folks to drive us home by collecting the slops from all the glasses left lying around. We would mix them all into pint glasses and try to find some adults to buy our super new wonder drink. Failing that, we would look for a younger kid to drink it for a dare.

I discovered baking soda and water and thought I was a genius.

When I was yourger myself & a friend decided to raid the cupboards and make up some potion thingy. We put everything from ketchup, flour.....to bleach and savlon in it. Afterwards we decided to dispose of it in a field next to the house. Woke up the next day and there was a dead cow found in the field......wonder how that happened??? :rolleyes:

Try blue WKD with bulmers its actually nice.

When I was about 5(I still remember) my brother(dole head now etc) drank bubble bath because he thought it was ribina, he nearly died, cule!

Used to mash up flower petals to make 'perfume' - the stuff was like ditch water.

Niamho!

i used to mix all that crap from the Bathroom aswell but did any of the girlies on here try to make their own "Perfume" ?? Hehe.

A jar of Water and you just chuck in any flower petals you can find and whatever else you wanted. leave it over night. They were Beautiful perfumes alright.

Niamho!

I used to open up bangers,hilti bullets and shotgun shells to get the gunpowder,pack it into a sealed copper pipe and either throw it in a fire or make a fuze out of string dipped in engine oil.Later i used to make my own gunpowder until one day i simultaneously went temporarily deaf and nearly lost my hand while contrapting a rocket.I tend to stick to mixing spirits now.

My dad told me once about how he and his mates used to make bombs in jars with Potassium Nitrate fertiliser (ala the IRA), obviosly not for malicious reasons. I don't think the stuff is available any more though

I used to make my potions and then fill the plastic egg from Kinder eggs with them. A good shake, then leave it somewhere where people passed by, and after a few minutes, they invariably blew up and covered someone with goo. Toothpaste, domestos, savlon, harpic toilet duck, aftershave, the works.

azezil

hehe, I used to do it all the time as well, I even had a "lab" aka the potato shed

Orlee

Salt Pepper Mustard and Ketchup with water in the pub!
Oh and bite scampi fries in half and put a peanut inside then put the scampi fry back together mmmmm

JIZZLORD

jesus this thread is making me feel old
i used to raid the presses in my house and then go to the grandparents next door and raid their place, as someone mentioned earlier i'm surprised i didnt create any mad gasses that'd knock me out, as i put EVERYTHING in, from tea leaves to pesticide.

them were the days!

Hail 2 Da Chimp

My nephiew was staying in my mums house when I wnet to visit and every morning he'd lock himself in the toilet making potions and when I'd go in after him the place would be a mess of toothpaste shampoo and god knows what else. Although I used to do the same when I was his age

Also mixing nitromethane was always fun, burns 6 times faster than petrol and is used in dragster cars and models.
Take a dump in a paper bag and light it on fire then some ****er will try and put it out there feet.

echter

kitchen ones are better than bathroom ones, cajun powder, hot chilli flakes, fairy liquid, dettol, tea taken from the tea bags, salt, soy sauce, tomato puree, and then you mix it all up and pour it down the drain!

Giblet

I used to make fake makeup, using porridge, lipstick, hairgel, fake blood, purple eye shadow and then apply it to friends and pretend they got into serious accidents. Great times.

admiralofthefleet

i always used to throw everything together and see what it looked like a few days later. i especially used anything that had a 'do not mix with any other chemicals' label on it

jazoo

When we were kids everyone would have a small bottle to raid their parents drinks cabinets, we then mixed it all together to make a good potion so everyone gets a good taste.lots of puking and passing out

Gaspode

Hell yeah, good times!
In the mates house mixing it up on the cooker. A bit of every foodstuff in the house that day went in including spices, sauces, fruit, veg, flour, juices, etc. The smell wasnt too bad until the dog food went in, they we regretted applying heat.
His ma went spare.
I was pissed too, there was far too much paprika.

lucernarian

I remember mixing up bits of all the chemicals in a lab set when I was young! I kept this in a little plastic sample bottle. I then added some liquid from the shed, and in a couple of days the plastic container had gone soggy!!

I think the glass bottle had writing on it, and I could barely make out the word "acid"...

ciano1

Uh.......Cocktails with YORE MA !!!!!

Spyral

i used to do it all the time.. i made a cleaning thing once worked wonders on stains (that I prolly caused with other stuff :P) and one time the insides of a battery = bang.. ahhh good times:rolleyes:

Ruu_Old

Flour, ashes from the range and some water. What a mess when Mam found us on the kitchen floor one morning!

Piste

I used to make "magic" potions with the most disgusting stuff I could find in the garden, usually soggy petals and leaves and stagnant water, then I would add the "special ingredient" BAT'S BLOOD! (which I later found out was actually red food colouring, much to my dissappointment!) My dad kept this special "bats blood" in a cabinet out of my reach and told me it was very dangerous so only to add one or two drops to each potion.

I wanted to be a witch when I was younger

McSandwich

I remember trying to make wine by boiling wine gums in the kettle.. I was found out after my Mam made a pot of tea - not happy!!

Another one was making fizzy drinks (for my friends) by adding Andrew's liver salts to diluted orange. Needless to say I didn't know about the laxative properties of Andrew's when taken in high doses!

Piste

I remember having a great idea to make my own bread making my own flour from "wheat" (actually grass seeds) (I grew up in the city, I had no idea what wheat looked like) and mixing it with eggs and milk to make bread.

Thankfully my parents gently explained to me that it wasn't wheat before I could take it too far!

Spyral

I recall on a school trip one time we had chips and coke. one bloke went to the toilet so we poured the remains of our coke into his container (the one with a lid and straw) then topped it up a bit with malt vingear.
when he returned we asked if he was going to finish his coke... hilarity ensued..

Nevyn

I did nad still do but thankfully know it is with a lot more knowledge, my daughter started the same thing this summer but she wants to make perfume and insence.
