[[Young person 1 and person 2 are in front of person 1's science project]] Person 1: My science project is a baking soda and vinegar volcano! Person 2: Why do people make these? It isn't really a science project. It doesn't teach anything about- <<FOOM>> [[The miniature volcano begins to erupt. A third person walks into the frame.]] Person 1: See how the baking soda and vinegar mix with mud and ice to form deadly flowing lahars? [[Closeup of the side of the miniature volcano]] Person 1: You can see the tiny cars trying to flee. - Whoops! Too slow. Person 2: Um. This is a bit grim. Person 1: Learning! <<RUMBLE>> Person 1: And now we're learning that this volcano is an offshoot of a vinegar hotspot rising from deep within the earth. - annnd... <<BOOM>> [[Person 1 looks to the window]] Person 1: The baking soda supervolcano erupts, injecting clouds of salt into the stratosphere [[Person 3 peers outside the window]] Person 3: Why is it getting dark outside? Person 1: Learning is fun! Person 1: Sunlight dims. The earth cools. Summer frosts form. Crops die. We check the markets. Grain prices are rising. [[She holds a chart indicating grain prices rising]] Person 3: I want to stop learning now. Person 1: Soon, we all will. {{Title text: Sure, it may not meet science fair standards, but I want credit for getting my baking soda and vinegar mountain added to the Decade Volcanoes list.}}
