Check it out! Sarah just showed me (and a bunch of my friends) how to make a magic potion that creates TROLL BOOGERS...how gross is that!
I love it!
Sarah says that it's not actually a magic potion...it's more of a science potion :) If anyone's interested in grossing out their friends, here are a few simple experiments to try!
Potion Experiment 1: Troll Boogers

1. Put on protective gloves.
2. Pour 15 ml of water into the test tube. Add 2 drops of spit up from a 3 month old baby (blue food coloring) and add 2 drops of spit up from a 9 month old baby (yellow food coloring) to the cauldron.
3. Add 1 scoop of bowtruckle droppings (PAM viscosifier) to the test tube.
4. Add 1 scoop of crystallized pineapple (polyacrylamide) to the test tube.
5. Shake the test tube for 30 seconds. Allow it to sit quietly for 45 seconds.
6. Tap the test tube with your wand.
7. Open the test tube and use your wand to show off the troll boogers.
