Not sure if this is the right place to ask this.
So me and my child have been discussing the idea of blowing up a 55 gallon plastic drum of chocolate pudding. The drum is easy enough to find, and the pudding isn't hard to find either, they sell 45 lbs boxes of pudding mix. I would need about 65 lbs of dry pudding mix and 30 or so gallons of milk (wonder if powdered milk would work?) to fill a 55 gallon drum.

i can get the payload put together just find, but i need some safe way of blowing it up. Black powder seems like a poor choice, Tannerite might work, we are thinking maybe some air based explosion??? anyway, thoughts?
yes your kid will always rem this
but a gas system to do this would be very costly......u basic want a high psi cannon (tho it would be cool to do it safe with one of those u are talking specialized valve fitting and wielding plus a compressor ability to do those pressures)
go tannerite
depending on the effect u want (barrel going bomb or barrel acting like mortar launcher )
mortar launcher simplest .......the guy had it right take the 10-15 lbs mix it up in one big jar/bag and use a cinderblock to rest it on in the barrel before u fill with pudding (should be in lower 1/3 of barrel for this one)
to make the barrel go boom u need the top capped off other wise not booming ........to make it go right u need to score the inside of the barrel (ideally u want even cut from bottom to top on the side walls the thinner u make the sections the more spread i got 1 and half inches between cuts and leave one section with about 8 inches untouched ) .....set it up so the 8 inches u did not score is where u are shooting into.......hang 20 lbs of tannerite in the dead center ....cap the barrel set cameras up move back 30 yards and hit it to watch the boom (if u did it right the pudding should go out in about 270 300degree but u are safe to walk up from where u were shooting thanks to 8 inches )
tannerite is impacted driven ........once u mix it u are going to need something with a kick shotgun 1600fps slug or a rifle (i honestly do not think a 9mm has the power to set it off going tho pudding )...a bow and arrow would work but mean u would be 20 25yards to ensure the impact is enough tho all that pudding
just rem this is a milk product so the smell of what is left over is going to be god awlful with in a few hours or days .......adjust where u are going to do this using known wind patterns ( can aim a attack on assholes nose or advoid it from going into anyones nose).......if u can try near worst case u can use a pump in the water allowing u to spray down the area ( would not use garden hose from own well u are talking 100s of gallons to wash area off hence river or lake ....water will return once passed tho ground or ran into )
and blackpowder would work too .......u would need far less to do the same effect ......the trick is making the container dense enough to hold back the explosion for a few mil secs to allow it all to combust but not so dense u have shrapnel
