    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

  • Mallowcakes
  • Sharon

    My favorite episode was the chicken gun.

  • Shelbie Johnston

    Was the one where they dropped buttered bread from a tall buildig to see if it really did always land butter side down.

  • Mysharona

    seeing if one car would be flattened by a tractor trailer hitting it head on.

  • peg42

    I liked the one where the myth of someone flying away holding too many balloons…myth was busted by the way.

  • kristacular

    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 :)

  • Patricia

    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.

  • Stephanie

    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!

  • Stephanie
  • Angel S.

    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.

  • Brad

    My favorite was the pirate myths. There is a reason for Pirates to wear an eye patch.

  • Mel4Him

    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 the Mentos and Diet coke episode

  • mail4rosey

    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 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.

    I like when they tried to see if tossing a penny off of the Empire State Building could kill you.

  • Randominities

    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.
