I've been seeing people do the ice bucket challenge all over YouTube and Facebook, but it's always the same, dump some ice in a bucket, add some water, dump over head. BORING! I wanted to see somebody make the water extra cold by adding some salt to it and partially freezing a good portion of it first. But nobody did. So it looks like I'm the first! I wonder if we're going to see any other "salt water and ice" challenges? After I was challenged by Shawn K (YouTube channel ssmmkk2) to do this, I decided I'd be the one to make it extra cold. First I made sure to donate the $100 to the ALS Foundation, then I got to work like a mad scientist making an ice bucket challenge worthy of Captain Microwave! First, I filled the biggest bucket I could fit in the freezer full of water and added as much salt as could mix in, then put it in the freezer long enough that there was a crust of ice on the top. The water temperature of the partially frozen water read 28 degrees when I measured it (so the salty ice that formed was a lot colder). Then I got a bag of ice, dumped it in a bucket, added the salty ice water and a little bit of garden hose water to fill it up. I then let it sit like that for 20 minutes to homogenize. Right before I did the challenge, I tested the water temperature, which read 32 degrees. Normally due to the chemical properties of water, the cold liquid lake water you encounter in winter when ice fishing is 39 degrees to put this into perspective. Most who have done this did it with a water temperature around 50-55 for comparison. Go here to learn more about ALS and to donate: http://www.alsa.org/fight-als/ice-bucket-challenge.html Since it was a hot day, once the initial shock of the cold wore off, it was actually really refreshing. I challenge these three people to do the ice bucket challenge. You all have 24 hours. StarrEyes86 dOvetastic MakeupAtMidnight
