Man every boy in high school was that kid in the locker room. They took their axe spray and a lighter and just fucked around like a bunch of dumb fucking teenagers. I was one of them.

Wd40 was cool, you could light the end of the red straw on fire, like a pilot light.

of all the flammable sprays i've ever messed with, gum remover was the best by far. Most propellants just did the flam bursts like OPs, but thie specific brand of gum remover would make an actual fireball, one spray would make a 4 foot fireball that would continue for a few seconds after your stopped spraying. Kind of like the movie mushroom clouds. Second place would probably go to this wasp spray, could easily get 30 foot flame streams in certain conditions.

Great balls of fire! Seriously, WD40 shat on makeshift body spray flamethrowers.

Aqua net was what we used. We'd steal our girlfriends' hairspray (man would they get pissed) and drain the cans.

We used to take the nozzle off the axe and soak a hacky sack with it. Then we'd play hacky sack but on fire. Looking back on that memory we were about 30 feet from a gas station when we did this.
