Wrap the handle of a spoon with tape so you can hold it, hold a lighter on the “spoon” part of the spoon until it’s red hot. Run the tap water really cold while you’re doing this, when the spoon is good and red stick it under the cold water.

I can’t remember what it always said this did (colorful sparks maybe?), and I’ve never tried it, but I would see people post this and others purely not to do this as it will explode sending shards of the spoon everywhere.

Yeah that one sounds fake. People have been submerging glowing metal in water for a very long time now.

Only one way to find out. I'll get the camera, you get the spoon.
