- Let's do this, Sharers, here we go.
- Stand back, everybody, here it goes.
- [Stephen] Here we go, you ready?
- In three, two, one.
- Here we go!
(slow motion whooshing)
(both shout excitedly)
Welcome to the vlog,
welcome back to another super awesome day,
hmm, smells like blue soda.
If you haven't already,
make sure to hit that subscribe button,
because today we have the most epic challenge ever,
that's right, we are doing another $10,000 challenge,
and this time it's going to be the best, biggest,
baddest, and craziest soda bottle rocket
wins $10,000, cash.
- All right-y.
I can't wait.
- That's right Sharers, cold, hard, cash.
If you didn't see, we have a total of
$1 million we are giving out,
and so far we have been doing
a bunch of awesome, crazy competitions,
where you can win up to $10,000.
We started with a drag race, and that was totally crazy.
(man yelling) (dramatic music)
And John won that.
- Oh yeah, that's right, super easy.
- Then we went to the trampoline park,
where I found the $10,000 that was hidden
at the very top of the trampoline park.
(dramatic music)
This is what I'm talking about.
I made it to the top!
I got the 10,000, John.
And then all three of us won $10,000 each
when we escaped the escape room space shuttle.
- [All Three] Whoa!
- [Stephen] Wait, wait, that's 10,000.
- That's 10,000! - Three stacks of dollars!
- So we have a total of $20,000 for me.
- And I also have $20,000.
- And I have $10,300.
- So that is the current score right now,
it is a tie between me and John,
but the question is, who's going to win
the $10,000 cash in today's video?
And whoever can get the highest rocket
is the winner.
- That's right, we each get two chances,
and I already have some ideas,
so let's go downstairs.
- All right, let's go, let's go,
start the clock, let's get going.
We've got five minutes to make
the craziest soda bottle rocket ever.
Let's go.
Oh!
And inside, Sharers we have to say hi to baby Otter,
hi Otter!
We're gonna be outside doing a homemade experiment,
do you wanna come watch?
(hollow tin dings)
He's sleeping today.
Thanks Otter!
Time's a ticking.
We gotta get down to the basement.
Oh yeah, by the way, Sharers,
Grace's YouTube Play button came in,
check this out, oh yeah!
She got 100,000 subscribers,
a long time ago, she's actually at a million now,
so we're waiting for her gold play button to come in,
then we can add it to the wall.
So here are the rules, we each get one
large two-liter bottle of soda,
and we each get one small,
I don't know if that's a liter,
but bottle of soda.
To make our best rocket,
and we have all these supplies we can use,
folders, index flash cards, tape, glue,
sharpies, superglue, and of course, duck tape
and these are book covers.
So we have all these crazy school supplies that we can use,
I don't know what we can use them for,
but if you can get your rocket
to stay in the air the longest, you get a point,
and whoever gets the most points
wins $10,000.
- Cool, the rules sound fun, let's pick some team colors.
- Awesome, I'm gonna be red.
YouTube red.
- I'll do orange.
- And I'll be sunny yellow.
- I'm gonna start with my small bottle of soda,
and I'm going to use some of these school supplies
to add some aerodynamics,
so first things first,
I'm gonna take some of these index cards
and make them into wings.
So this can soar back down like an airplane
and get some more airtime.
Oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about,
airplane soda bottle, check it out.
Oh yeah.
- All right, Stephen, not looking too bad,
but I think I have an idea that's gonna work even better,
so let me get started.
- Good luck, John.
- For mine, I'm gonna use a book cover and duck tape
and that's about it.
All right, so my idea is to drape the book cover
over the top,
and so as it'll go up,
it'll just be super streamlined like that,
then once it comes back down,
it'll act like a parachute,
and then stop it from coming back down so fast,
so it'll be in the air longer.
All right, all done, once it goes up,
hopefully this parachute will come down
and stop it from coming down so fast.
So, Grace, I think it's your turn.
- That's right John, step aside,
team yellow's coming in hot.
Got my soda can, and my paper,
and I'm going to add some string
so it makes it go even faster.
All right-y, this is looking really good.
So when it shoots up in the sky and comes down,
it'll have these flames.
(Stephen laughing)
- Grace, why do you think that's gonna do anything?
- I don't know, it looks like flames!
- This isn't an art show.
- What is it?
- It's to get your rocket to stay in the air the longest.
- Okay, watch me win, okay, I think I'm gonna win.
- All right, well, Sharers,
you have my soda bottle, which I think is gonna do the best,
so comment #Stephen if you think mine's gonna win.
- And mine kinda looks like tacky hair day at school.
So comment #Grace if you think mine will win.
- And then we have mine, which has a nice little hat
that'll hopefully act as a parachute.
- Hey, these were all homemade soda rockets
that were made with school supplies,
not rocket science materials,
so we're gonna see how these actually hold up.
So there's only one way to find out,
I say we go outside and we test these.
- Yeah, let's launch them. - Let's do it.
- Let's go Sharers, this is gonna be crazy.
Since I've done a lot with nerf soda rockets,
I'm going to go first,
I've never done anything with a mini one, I don't think.
And by the way, Sharers, if you didn't already see,
we did an awesome nerf soda rocket model
with Mikey when he came here for his Make-A-Wish,
and today we're gonna try and do the same thing,
we're adding it and stepping it up a notch,
so the rules are there are no rules,
whoever can get their rocket to go the highest
is the winner.
And by the way, if you hit any of those cars,
John or Grace, you're in big trouble.
If you hit the Sharerghini, the Share the Love Bug,
or the SpyWagon, you are out, completely,
so make sure the soda goes this way
and up into the sky.
- Yeah, that's the idea, I hope I can do that.
- You never know what's gonna happen.
So here's how you do this, Sharers,
oh, (screams)
- [Grace] Whoa whoa whoa, it's already exploding!
- Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa,
don't get my wings wet.
I guess it was pretty shaken up
carrying it up the stairs.
But all you gotta do, is you unscrew the soda,
and then you take the base,
and you screw the base on just like this,
and then it's all up to you to determine
how much soda to air ratio you want,
so I'm going to dump out some soda,
and I'm gonna say, I'm gonna put about,
ooh, this much soda in my rocket,
and the rest is going to be air,
so then you come over here to the pump station,
you take this, you shove it in the bottom,
super, super tight.
The key is, the stronger you get it into the bottom,
the harder it is to pop out
unless you have a lot of air pressure,
so the stronger you can get it in the better,
and then you tip your soda bottle over just like this,
onto the launchpad,
and you stand back and get ready to launch.
- Okay, Stephen, that's right,
we've gotta stand back, stand back zone,
this rocket is about to explode.
- Okay, here we go, launching,
in three, two, one.
(triumphant music)
(record scratch)
(Grace laughing)
- [Grace] What happened?
- No!
What happened?
That was so bad!
Oh no, Sharers, that was horrible.
Okay, well, round one didn't go too well for me.
Yikes.
But if any of you make it less off the ground,
I could technically win.
- That's true, I guess you still have a chance,
but not much of one.
- Oh dear, well, you know what John,
you're gonna go up next.
- Oh boy. - Okay.
Let's see how good John can do with his.
Good luck John.
- All right, here we go.
Pour some out. - So here's the key.
What is John's ratio going to be?
Ooh, I think you're dumping out too much,
but I'm not gonna say anything.
- I don't think that's too much, I'm gonna keep going.
- [Stephen] Okay, up to you, all about the ratio,
if you get the right ratio it can go super high,
or if you get the ratio wrong, it can go super low.
Uh-oh. - Uh-oh!
(sad trombone music)
- This is not good,
you'd better tape that parachute back on quick.
- I think you gotta scratch the parachute.
- I'm gonna give it one more shot,
and if it doesn't work, I'm just gonna have to forget it.
All right, we're just gonna go like that,
it might not work, it's already falling off a little bit,
but let's just launch and see how it goes.
- [Stephen] Okay, here we go.
- Put this in tight as I can.
- It's literally about getting it
as tight as you can in there.
John is really going for it.
- Here we go.
- [Stephen] All right, there's the parachute,
the parachute soda bottle.
- [Grace] Team orange.
- [Stephen] Here we go, you ready, John?
- Standing back, Stephen.
- [Stephen] Standing back.
You gotta pump away strong,
let's see how high it can go, you ready?
- Okay, ready?
- Here we go, pumping, in three, two, one, go.
Go, go, go, go, go, let's see, let's see!
(Stephen shouting and cheering)
- That was fast.
- Okay!
Parachute did not deploy,
but John's bottle did go higher,
so technically John is in the lead right now.
Now everything points to Grace.
- Oh yeah, I have some confidence with my tiki topper.
- [Stephen] Okay, gotta start your mixture,
what are you gonna do for your mixture?
- I'm gonna dump out 60%.
- [Stephen] 60%?
- Just like that.
- [Stephen] Okay.
- All right-y.
- [Stephen] Get your base on there and let's get ready.
- All right, I put the topper on,
and then load this black thing in, just like that,
and then tip it over on the launching pad,
get on the stand, and pump away.
- Okay, Sharers, right now John is in the lead,
I am definitely losing,
but the question is, how high can Grace's soda go?
You ready for this, Grace?
- I'm ready!
- [Stephen] Here we go, launching,
in three, two, one, go.
Here we go, yes!
(Stephen shouting)
(triumphant music)
- That was awesome!
- Not bad, Stephen, I think she beat you.
- Okay, not bad, not bad.
Grace definitely beat me,
well everyone definitely beat me,
it looks like John got first on that round.
- Yeah, mine went pretty high.
- Grace got second. - Woo hoo!
- I got third, but I learned some good techniques,
and Sharers, when we do the massive soda bottle rockets.
- They'll go even higher!
- Yeah, they'll go even higher,
I think I'm definitely gonna win that one.
- Yeah, we'll see about that.
- Yeah, we will.
- Let's go back to the basement,
let's grab some school supplies,
grab the bigger bottle of soda,
and let's get to work, let's see.
Sharers, this is going to be interesting.
These bigger soda bottles go even higher in the sky,
they can go literally, like 200 feet in the air.
- Yeah, those went like 30. - Over top of the house.
- Yeah, you haven't seen anything yet,
so if you haven't already,
make sure to hit that subscribe button,
because things are about to get crazy.
Let's go.
Let's cut the games, Sharers,
I'm gonna win this, here we go.
Bringing out the big liter bottle of soda,
some of that awesome superglue,
a book cover, which is gonna be a parachute,
but I'm gonna do it right this time.
Tear the book cover a little more
so it acts more like a parachute,
then we're gonna use superglue
and glue it onto the bottle.
And voila, check it out, we got a book cover parachute,
that's glued on this time so it's definitely going to work.
- All right Stephen, yeah,
my parachute didn't work so well last time,
but I think I have a parachute
that's gonna work even better than that one.
- Okay, we'll see what you do, John.
- All right, here we go.
All right, put that on the base like that.
I'm gonna cut some paper, bright pink paper,
and make some strips, and attach a cone to the top
to act as a parachute.
- [Stephen] Some strips, Grace, that sounds like yours.
- Yeah, seems like someone liked my idea.
- [Stephen] Hmm.
- Hmm, I don't think so,
this is gonna be a little bit different.
- [Stephen] Okay, let's see how it works,
let's get going.
- All right, and then my idea
is to tuck all these under here,
and this way it'll blast off like this
with the cone, the nose cone,
so it gets super high up,
and then once it reaches the maximum altitude,
it'll come off,
and then it'll act like a parachute coming down.
- Huh, I think you need to step aside,
I need to build my rocket.
- [Stephen] Okay, John, watch out, Grace is coming in.
You ready, Grace?
- Oh yeah.
Let's see, put my rocket on the stand.
I need some Sharerghini green,
what is this, construction paper?
Tape that around my bottle to make a little tunnel
because tunnels are fast.
And let's tape the tunnel up.
Oh yeah, Sharers, comment down below
if you know what that is.
Here's a little hint.
- Share the love. - Oh yeah.
- Okay, let's grab our soda bottles
and let's get going.
By the way Sharers, check out the awesome fan mail wall
we have behind us,
we're gonna be adding some more fan mail
on the upcoming vlogs,
if you haven't already,
make sure to send us some of your awesome fan mail
for us to display on the wall,
the mailing address is in the link in description below,
you guys ready to go?
- Oh yeah.
- Let's see who's gonna win,
I think I've totally got it,
my parachute is glued tight onto this bottle.
It's not going anywhere except down nice and slow.
- Hey, but look at mine!
Mine's like a little tree house.
- We'll see.
- Yeah, we'll see about that, up we go!
- Since John is currently in the lead,
he is going to go first.
- Oh boy, here we go.
- So get ready for your rocket to fail right away,
you ready for this?
Okay John, get ready, locked and loaded, let's do this.
(bottle fizzes)
It's all about the mixture.
- Ready, Stephen?
- [Stephen] Let's see,
what are you gonna do for your mixture?
- Pour some out.
- [Grace] How much are you pouring out?
- I'm thinking about 33%.
- [Stephen] 33%.
- Okay.
- That's not 33%.
- [Stephen] All right, you gonna do a little more?
There's gonna be no soda left in there.
- All right, I think that's pretty good.
- [Stephen] Okay, 33%.
Oh, and a little more!
- Yeah.
You weren't supposed to see that.
- Okay, we all saw that,
there's no hiding secret ingredients over here.
Now just put the legs on, John.
- Screw that nice and tight.
Package the parachute up, just like that,
and then push this in as hard as I can.
- [Stephen] You think that's good?
- Yeah, I hope so.
- John's up, Grace, stand back.
Clear the entry way.
John's about to launch on the launch pad.
If you think John's gonna stay in the lead, Sharers,
comment right now, #John.
I don't know.
I think you poured out too much soda,
and I don't think your device is going to work at all,
I think it's gonna cause it to mess up on the launch pad,
but there's only one way to find out.
- Ready, Stephen?
- [Stephen] Here we go!
Three, two, one, start pumping,
here we go, here we go, it's going, it's going
(screams)
Whoa!
(string twangs)
(Stephen laughing)
(slow motion whooshing)
Uh-oh.
- I don't think that worked at all.
- The parachute did work.
- [Stephen] Parachute kinda worked,
it at least, like, exploded off.
- That's true, but it didn't go up very high.
- I think I need to step up to the bat.
- Oh dear, Sharers, John's did not go very high at all.
Could be beginner's luck, I don't know,
but Grace, since you got second last round,
you're gonna go next.
- All right-y, let's pour some soda out.
Whoa, oh yeah.
- [Stephen] All about the mixture.
- Okay.
- [Stephen] Let's see, how much soda you gonna put in?
- I'm gonna pour out 72%.
- [Stephen] 72%?
- Yup, let's get started.
- [Stephen] Oh dear.
Okay.
Let's see.
That's a lot of soda going out.
- That was barely anything, I need to keep going.
- [Stephen] Okay, you think more?
- Yeah.
Just about, can't really see
because my tunnel is covering it.
Uh-oh.
This might be a little challenge.
- Grace thinks pouring out a lot of soda's the key,
I do not think that's the key,
but we'll find out.
- Okay, I think that's 72%, I can't really see.
But let's get this on the stand,
and let's get this blasting.
All right-y, got my flames on,
now it's time for this black stud to go in.
- [Stephen] Push it in nice and strong, uh-oh.
(John laughing)
- [John] That's a not good look.
- Oh, boy. - Oh dear.
Already off to a bad start,
hopefully you can clip that back in.
- Good, put that back in.
- [Stephen] All right, you ready?
Grace's rocket is on the launch pad.
- Okay, everyone, clear the way,
we are going high.
- Sharers, if you think Grace is gonna do better than John,
comment right now, #Grace.
We'll see how high hers goes,
I think it'll definitely go higher than John's.
All right, you ready?
- Here we go!
- [Stephen] Here we go, launching in three, two, one, go.
Here we go, here we go, here we go,
uh-oh, uh-oh, get ready, get ready, get ready!
(screams)
Whoa!
(slow motion whooshing)
Oh yeah! - That was really good!
- That was good and it had good glide down.
- Yeah, that worked pretty well.
- I think it might have prevented you
from going up super high,
but at least glided down nice and slow.
- Yeah, it was like soda raining everywhere,
and it all splattered.
- Smells like pineapple soda.
Oh, oh, that's why.
Okay, so for this round, Grace is currently in the lead.
- Oh yeah, number one.
- John's in second, and it's up to me
to figure out what place I'm gonna get,
then we'll combine the scores at the end
to figure out who's gonna win the $10,000 cash.
- Oh yeah, I won it.
- Not yet. - Not yet.
- You won it or you want it?
- Both.
- Sharers, guess right now
who you think is gonna win this challenge,
if you guess right,
we may just give you a shout out in next video.
- Oh yeah!
- So comment away, okay, but I am up,
let me grab my awesome soda with the book case parachute.
- Yeah, good luck with that.
(Stephen groans)
- Super tight, woo!
Listen to that carbonation.
Whoa!
Okay, it's full, hang tight.
There we go.
Here we go, you ready?
- [Grace] Yeah.
- Dumping some soda out.
- [Grace] How much?
- [John] How much are you gonna pour out, Stephen?
- This.
And a little more.
Just like this.
That's all the soda I'm pouring out,
get ready for this, this is going to blast off like crazy.
- [Grace] Put it on the launch pad.
- Pop this thing in real quick,
it's all about getting it in super far.
All right, that is in very strong, Sharers.
This is going to be a first place win.
I'm gonna have the longest air time possible,
flip it over, here we go.
- [Grace] Kinda looks like Superman, with the cape.
- Oh, it's gonna be crazy, stand back, it's gonna be wild.
Here we go, blasting in three, two, one...
- [Grace] Whoa...
(all cheering)
(record scratch)
- Uh, yeah, I think that just got us more wet
than went high.
- Oh no.
(slow motion whooshing)
Uh-oh.
Well, it went in the air,
the question is how long was that air time?
Let's replay that in slow-mo.
(dramatic music)
(victorious music)
Oh yes, and it looks like I just beat John,
just by a few milliseconds.
- Yeah, barely, barely.
- But hey, I got that hang time,
all because of that parachute,
so that means, Sharers,
the overall winner of this challenge is Grace!
- Oh yeah, that is what I'm talking about,
I get the money, which means I am one step closer
to the $1 million ultimate prize, woo hoo!
- Oh yeah Sharers, comment down below
what $10,000 challenge we should do next,
or should we do a $20,000 challenge,
$30,000 challenge, or million dollar challenge,
I don't know, comment your crazy ideas down below,
and until next time, you know what to do,
- [All] Stay awesome, and share the love, peace, woo!
