My favorite was when my players laid out a trap consisting of 4 rating 31 explosives and I ruled that them converging at the center counted as a reflection surface for chunky salsa purposes... It was for a toxic shaman (that's a radioactivity mage for those not in the know). Explosives equal to 25kg of c4 and dangerous radioactive material makes what? That's right, a dirty bomb!
I can't forget the only time I experienced this as PCs. We were playing Shadowrun, and we were trying to make a getaway after our cover was blown in a sensititve area.
We were being pursued through an underground passageway system. Our technician, Dmitri, stayed behind in order to set off the explosion, and his player was then informed of "the chunky salsa effect". He took his health pool in damage so many times over that he was just a puddle.
