OMG The exploding water heater was one of the BEST. When that thing came flying out of that shed, my whole family was cheering, LOL!

I think my favorite myth would have to be when they wanted to find out if elephants were really afraid of mice and they went to Africa to find out...turns out they are! lol
I tweeted also! :)

My favorite episode was the chicken gun.
Was the one where they dropped buttered bread from a tall buildig to see if it really did always land butter side down.
seeing if one car would be flattened by a tractor trailer hitting it head on.
I liked the one where the myth of someone flying away holding too many balloons...myth was busted by the way.
This game sounds like so much fun. My kids would love this.
Thanks so much.

My husband and daughter love this show. I liked when they busted the myth about jumping up at the last second when an elevator is falling to save your life.

I dont have a favorite as I have never seen it but my son loves the show
Man oh man. I love all the episodes! But I love when Adam gets sick and the one that features Eepy Bird (Mentos and Diet Coke)! OH and they just did the popcorn house from Real Genius! That was good :)

My favorite myth recently was whether you can build a boat that floats out of duct tape. But our whole family just generally loves the show. Especially when explosions are involved :-). Thanks for offering the giveaway, my daughter would love, love, love to get it!

My personal favorite was when they had the huge old safe on the roof. They were attempting to see if it could be blown up from the inside out, without loosing the money.
My son's favorite was the Mcguyver (spelling?) episode. Where they were using items they had on hand. Such as a water bottle, and other misc items that they then tried to use to blow out the wall and escape.
Favorite Myth whether dimples on a golf ball made a difference on how far the golf ball travels

I LOVE the one about jumping in the elevator!! Thanks for the chance.

My favorite episode was the debunking of the conspiracy theory that man never landed on the moon. What great insight on moon science, and watching Adam jumping around in his moon suit was HILARIOUS!

Such a great show. We all like it. I think I liked the one where they tested Hollywood movie stunts to see if they would really work.
My favorite was the pirate myths. There is a reason for Pirates to wear an eye patch.
Honestly, I have only watched the show a few times. And I can't remember what they were about. But I know that my son would love this kit because he is really into Science. So I hope that's okay. : )

I like when they test the movie myths, like the ones from MacGyver.
Drinking or talking on cell phone which is more dangerous. Loved it!

I love these kits (have given a few for birthday gifts) and would love to win one for my son! Unfortunately we don't get many tv channels so I have only caught 1 episode at a friend's house about ninjas so I'll pick that one!
greenlancer at comcast dot net
I like the Mentos and Diet coke episode
The only one I remember was putting a gun in the oven to see if it would go off because I was like, "EEEEEEEEEEK! Why would they do that?!?!?!" But my son and husband love this show and would like the prize. Thank you.

My kids love this show but I haven't really watched this...I vaguely remember an episode where they were burning up a car but can't really remember why...think maybe to see if it would explode? My kids would love this.

My absolute favorite myth was when they were exploring uses for the "Baghdad Battery" they built based on what was believed to be an ancient battery which was discovered. Tori, Kari, and Grant were going to connect it to a replica of the Ark of the Covenant, but ended up connecting a transformer from an electric fence instead. Adam (not knowing about the last minute switch) grabbed the foil covered angels on top of the "Ark" and received a big surprise! Classic Mythbusters!
My 12 year old daughter would love this kit for Christmas.

the whole "pig in the corvette" thing
I liked the one about the bus driving on two tires like in a movie.
I like the one about the duck being the only thing able to make a noise without an echo. I don't know why, it has always stuck in my head. Thanks!

Hmmmmm, so many awesome mythbusters myths to pick from. I loved the hot water heater explosion... more recently, the grease fire myth was great! I liked the whole super hero episode. I also love any myth where they blow something up :) I really can't choose a favorite, sorry... can I still be entered please?
enjoyed the tornado one! That was cool..

it has to be the bow and arrow test myth
I like when they tried to see if tossing a penny off of the Empire State Building could kill you.
My favorite mythbusters busted myth was when they took a whole bunch of daddy long legs spiders to see if they were poisonous. I liked it because Adam is afraid of spiders and they made him put his hand in the spider tube thing.
I liked it when they busted the Pop Rocks and Coke myth. :)

There are so many cool myths they have busted but my favorite was the how many balloons it would take to lift a kid off the ground. It was some insane number like 500 or something. Another favorite episode of mine was the mentos and diet coke. After seeing that episode, my 10 year old and I recreated it in our drive way and then we tried other brands to see what which shot the highest.

The one where they tried to make something explode by shooting it.
I love this show. I think my fave was when they tested the pirate sticking a knife in the sail and safely riding it to the deck. Busted!

My favorite MythBusters myth was the one about whether you could have an ejecting car seat like in a James Bond movie.
