How To Make A Hard Boiled Egg Go Into A Coke Bottle

Getting an object into a container which it cannot fit into without damaging it, is a seemingly difficult procedure. The hard boiled egg into a bottle trick has been performed for over 100 years. By using temperature to change the air pressure inside the coke bottle, you can create a vacuum to suck the egg into the bottle. You should take the shell off the hard boiled egg to attempt the trick.

Step 1

Rinse out the coke bottle to remove any residue. Let the bottle dry out

Step 2

Set paper strips on fire using matches and quickly place them inside the bottle.

Step 3

Place the hard boiled egg on top of the bottle immediately. Make sure that the egg is sitting upright.

Step 4

Wait for the burning paper to heat the air inside the bottle increasing the air pressure. When the fire goes out the air will cool, reducing the pressure and creating a vacuum. This vacuum will pull the egg through the neck and into the bottle.

Things Needed

  • Paper strips
  • Matches

Warning

Striking the matches should be performed by an adult.
