   This is pretty much a rite of passage in Fairbanks, Ak. Everyone I know has done it, or at least watched someone else do it.

   Looks like a good way to burn the crap out of your face or head

   its pretty fun to do and the only way youll burn yourself at that temperature (and it probably wont happen) is because the metal pot you used to boil the water is too cold and youll get a nice bit of frostbite.

   "If your in a deep freeze"? "mento's"? Come on, learn some spelling. (Hint: you're, and mentos.)

   Where did you even dig UP this video. I saw it, like 2 years ago.

   Old, old, old.

   Old perhaps....but neat none the less.

   Science doesn't become passe.

   I do however hope that this does not become the new meme, as it is totally reliant on the temperature being low enough for it to work.

   Scalding incidents ahead. Or indeed scalded head incidents.

   So just what temperature are we talking about here?

   Is 0 Celsius or 32 Fahrenheit cold enough? I won't be trying it any time soon that's for sure.
