Fold it into a little square so none of the baking soda falls out. - Go outside or set the baggie somewhere that can get a little messy. Open the corner of the bag and stick the tissue with the baking soda in it inside. Quickly re-seal the bag and stand back to watch! - As the tissue gets wet the baking soda begins to mix with the vinegar and the bag starts to inflate with carbon dioxide. - Until the pressure pops the bag and it “explodes”!
