Why It Works
When vinegar and baking soda are combined, they
form carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide inflates the
hot water bag. The effect is similar to shaking up a can
of soda. Piercing the bottle causes a forceful release
of the CO2 gas along with the painful (and delicious)
spices. A little cumin in your eyes, Mr. Terrorist?
