To make a "bomb" out of a plastic bottle, use a combination of vinegar and baking soda to create a small explosion. Such a bomb is relatively harmless if you handle it responsibly. In this type of bottle bomb, the explosion is caused by the pressure created by vinegar and baking soda coming into contact with each other. If you'd rather make a safer, quieter bomb, you can also cause a small "explosion" with a bottle of diet soda and a Mentos candy. Be very careful and take proper precautions, as you always do with exploding objects. Children should only perform the following under the supervision of a parent.

Method 1 of 3: Using mentos and diet soda

Make a square to put in the baking soda. Tear a paper towel in half or tear off a square sheet of plastic wrap about 18 by 18 centimeters. Measure out about a tablespoon of baking soda and sprinkle it in the center of the paper towel or plastic wrap. Set it aside.
Take the bottle outside. Take the bottle and cap to where you want to detonate the bomb. Push the plastic bag all the way into the bottle. Replace the cap and shake the bottle vigorously. When you feel the bottle starting to harden from the pressure building up inside, throw the bottle away with an arc. The bottle should explode when it hits the ground.
- Be very careful when shaking the bottle as it could explode in your hands too. Take proper precautions.

Warnings

You can be injured if you create or explode a bomb in a bottle. Only do this in a safe place under the supervision of a parent.
Make sure you keep enough distance from the bomb when it explodes.
Be especially careful when shaking a bottle of vinegar and baking soda, as it can explode in your hand. Wear protective gloves and goggles.
