There are several You tube versions of this. I show the video and explain that 
I'm an olld poop who is exceptionally safety conscious. I prefer environmental 
chem over uncontrolled exothermic reactions.

I have seen this done in an ignition tube with a 5 ft flame shooting out the 
end.

gloves & face mask & step back.  Do it in a fume hood.

Hello.  I am contemplating doing a demo with  gummi bear and potassium 
chlorate; however, I am a bit chicken.  Could you give me any info on this?  
Has any one done this?
Thanks,
Nancy Ward

I apologize for this listing: I usually read the notices I read with a more 
critical eye before sending them to the list-serve. I guess the holiday season 
highs made me miss this. The response I got indicates how shop you guys are.

Sorry, and Happy New Year.

Ken
