Woo, spray bottles!<\/p>\n<p>Disappointingly for my experiment but yay for you, all of the formulations pretty much worked the same, and I can&#8217;t say the proportions matter all that much, I used roughly 1:1, adding in the baking soda until I didn&#8217;t think it would stay paint if I added any more.  I hypothesized that adding bubbles to the mix would result in bigger more long lasting fizzy bubbles, but it didn&#8217;t seem to have an effect, I&#8217;m guessing it was too dilute.  Next time I will try dish soap.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oneinchworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/DSC_4320.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/oneinchworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/DSC_4320-400x265.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Spraying Vinegar\" width=\"400\" height=\"265\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1654\" srcset=\"http:\/\/oneinchworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/DSC_4320-400x265.jpg 400w, http:\/\/oneinchworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/DSC_4320.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In any case, the girls were crazy about this, so my &#8216;research&#8217; has shown that you can take whatever paint you happen to have, mix in a bunch of baking soda, and hand it out along with a spray bottle of vinegar and the result will be lots of squeals, running around, and a very messy driveway!<\/p>\n<p>Happy Friday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is your basic &#8211; &#8220;Hey over here I have an acid, and hey over here I have a base, lets mix them together and make carbon dioxide!
