Quite spontaneous, it wasn't the safest thing to do pouring the HTP by
hand, if it was a little stronger, say 98%, it would have exploded
immediately upon contact. We used to squirt 98% FMC HTP on dry grass from a
LDPE pippett and the grass would immediately burst into flames.

Was that spontaneous or was some other ignition device used?

Wow. I knew peroxide caused spontaneous combustion with some organics,

Thanks Ben!

There was one of these videos from Armadillo back in the day, but nice
to see it done again at FAR. This demo takes a "more is better"

Though the chicken drumstick that gets ejected seems superfluous. Meat
just bleaches in peroxide, it's not very reactive.
