For a fun prank, pour out a small drop of Nitroglycerin and smack it with a hammer to scare your friends. :^)

Ah, a fun little joke I can do with the nitroglycerin I definitely don't have because that would probably be illegal

Just develop a heart condition and they'll straight up give it to you. Easy peasy.

As a bonus, if we already have a heart condition and an abundant supply of prescription nitroglycerin tabs, we can perform the aforementioned prank to give all our friends heart attacks too! 😄

Ha, jokes on YOU, I already have a heart condition!

Wait...

Alternatively, work in a hospital or on an ambulance. We've got loads of the shit

I was gonna say, actually thinking about pocketing the excess next time I pull some from the Omnicell to see if this works lol

A tab of NTG is only 0.5mg, a drop of pure NTG (so around the size of the tab) would be in the ballpark of 125 mg, so the tablet contains very little NTG. Id wager a tiny pop if any.

I really want to put a couple bottles of tablets in a blender and see what happens haha

Maybe it'll be like the 4th of July in your kitchen. It's worth a try. Make sure to video it and let us know how it turns out.

Easy enough to make.
