Chad's Crappy Corner and his final cheap gadget that has something to do with “Science!”

This is the 1st time we've recorded a show in one month for playback the next month. Since we recorded it in June when Chad's Crappy Corner Theme is cheap gadgets that have something to do with science, we decided Chad would have two Crappy Corner spots on this show.

His first crappy corner is a cheap 'scientific' gadget. And it's the 4M Science on Your Palm Pocket Volcano. Here's what Amazon says about it: Watch the lava flow with the 4M Science on Your Palm Pocket Volcano. Perform your own "volcanic eruptions" on the tabletop, in the bath, or even inside a glass. Watch as this awesome science gadget captivates your attention and amazes your friends. This fascinating science project requires baking soda and vinegar (not included). Detailed instructions explaining the step-by-step scientific process are included. Made using safe and high quality materials, this product is designed to last. Give the gift of science with toys and gadgets that foster curiosity and encourage scientific learning. Recommended for ages 5 and up.  

And Chad's take: This 'science' gadget was sort of okay. But even at $7 dollars it didn't do much. As Chad showed us and you'll see in the video is that you can get bubbling stuff just by mixing baking soda and vinegar without using the mini-volcano. But the volcano added a bit of fun and color, so for the very young, it might be worth it.
