Pictures, videos, and stories about cysts and pimples.

Hint: Turn the volume down while watching some of the videos. A lot of screaming and puke noises.

Eating (especially yoghurt) is not recommended.

I am dying to know what two chemicals he mixed together.

Looks like there's a third in the tube (blue liquid). Perhaps one of the other two is diet coke as a catalyst?

A/B expanding foam. It's the duct tape of fun shit.

Hydrogen peroxide mixed with potassium iodide

There are several ways of producing this reaction:

Hydrogen peroxide (30%) + KMNO4 (potassium permangate)

Hydrogen peroxide (30%) + NaOH (Sodium hydroxide, usually found in drain cleaner)

Hydrogen peroxide (30%) + chopped liver (contains the enzyme catalaze)

All of the above reactions catalyze hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen. The blue liquid in the jar is soap, making foam as the gas develops.

The reaction can be quite dangerous as hot steam, hydrogen peroxide & the catalyst come shooting up very fast, so i wouldn't recommend trying this without proper supervision and safety equipment.
