Not really a pyro question...but..

Hi All..

remeber when you were young, you would read all those text messages
that mixing iodine crystals with ammonia overnight and in the morning,
then would be a paste at the bottom of the jar. When dried, it would
go BOOM with any sort of pressure put on it.

Anyone actually try this??????
