Blasts could be such a blast that it’s no wonder they’ve become a fan favorite. And this unique A to Z of glee is packing a punch. Starting, as you might expect, at the beginning where A is not for arsenal 1 or annihilation, but audit 2?
Alright, so A is for audit. What’s that all about? Like tax audit?
It was more like record keeping. Because somehow within the 800 or so myths, we have done excuse to do 752 explosions.
Wait, 752?
You don’t believe. Check this out.
Dude, your stomach is gonna burst. It was the very first episode of Mythbusters that featured the first explosion.
That’s huge. That’s like three times the size of what it was.
Even if the combo of pig stomach, pop rocks and cola did fall a little flat.
Yeah. That’s what we call a hell of a Saturday night.
Through episode four’s toilet tale.
There was actually a little poop in the toilet.
We have poof!
And five’s gas gaffe 3.
Hello Explosion. Hello. Hello. He never answers this phone.
The boom was still finding its feet.
In fact, it wasn’t until tree cannon 4—if this doesn’t blow up the cannon, I don’t know what will—that we finally saw some shrapnel worth celebrating.
Everybody all right?
But from there—
This was perfect.
There was no holding back. As booms, big and small, super and subtle, began to rack up, up and up. After three seasons, the boom tally 5 had hit 90. After 5 seasons, 280. After 8 seasons, 630. And just last week, “I have 100 pounds of ANFO” it reached 752.
