Frostbite Theater
Liquid Nitrogen and Lava!
For years, people have asked for liquid nitrogen and lava. Today, we deliver!
Announcer: Frostbite Theater presents... Cold Cuts! No baloney!
Joanna and Steve: Just science!
Joanna: Hi! I'm Joanna!
Steve: And I'm Steve!
Joanna: For years, people have been asking us to put lava in liquid nitrogen.
We always have liquid nitrogen.
Steve: And, today...
We have lava!
Are you ready?
Joanna: Um-hum!
Steve: Okay. Stand back!
Joanna: Okay.
Liquid Nitrogen: SPLASH!!!
Steve: Yeah... It, uh, turns out lava isn't especially difficult to come by.
Joanna: Now, I'm sure some of you are saying "Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! We meant molten lava!"
Well, we have that, too!
Thanks for watching! I hope you'll join us again soon for another experiment!
Steve: Yeah... This, uh, 'experiment' had a little bit of baloney in it, don't you think!
Joanna: Ah, maybe, but it's April Fools', we're allowed!
