Flamethrower Vs. Gatorade… Because Science
Published: June 19th, 2015
Our friend Andrew at GY6vids takes a flamethrower to bottles of Gatorade … so that you don’t have to. The results were surprising (or at least to me they were, but I was not much of a firebug as a kid, I was too busy shooting to get round to burning stuff).

I loved firing every weapon the Marines handed me, giggling at times waiting for the shooters look down range........But that flame thrower scared the fu(king hell out of me every single time.
It only took 3 quarts of Gatorade to stop a a lot more than 3 quarts of fuel from the flame thrower.
