Sink or Foat? (OT edition)

Sign in to disble this ad
When submerged in a tub of water, will this object sink or float?!



Feel free to suggest future sink or float items! For those who care to make this interesting, PM me to get in touch with my bookie.

hurm... I would say sink. I'm sure there very little if any air in that can and the soup should be heavier than the water + the weight of the can....yeah pretty sure it will sink.

I'd say tomato soup is denser than water and there is little if any air in there. Sink.

Float. There is air trapped inside the can.

I say foat. We all would expect it to sink. I wanted to try that spelling anyway.

Sink, definitely. At least if the can is filled completely with tomato soup, which it should be.

You sinkers may be forgetting the high sodium content in condensed soup.

I'd like to sit in the tub w/a nice root beer float, after dropping a nice sinker.

ON topic, the soup will burst into flames upon contact w/the water.

/wild card...
