Have you ever seen science shows where they "magically" make an egg fall into a bottle? It’s not so much magic as it is a study in air pressure. With a few household items, you too can get an egg into a bottle without even touching it.<ref name="rf1">http://cstmuseum.techno-science.ca/en/education/try-this-out-incredible-science-tricks-the-egg-and-the-bottle.php</ref> You may not be able to get the whole egg into the beer bottle. Because the mouth of a beer bottle is much smaller than the egg, the egg will split, but some of it will still be pushed into the bottle. | Have you ever seen science shows where they "magically" make an egg fall into a bottle?

#* The baking soda reacts with the vinegar creating carbon dioxide gas. As the gas is made, the air pressure inside the bottle increases. The increased air pressure inside the bottle causes the egg to get pushed back out of the bottle. | #* The baking soda reacts with the vinegar creating carbon dioxide gas.
