Everybody loves crystal meth*, but for years the procedure for cooking it up has been so messy and dangerous that it was often only made by cash-desperate hillbillies in remote labs that were prone to leaking nasty-ass fumes and causing deadly explosions. That looks ready to change thanks to a new product called shake and bake meth, which uses an innovative and inexpensive new recipe that’s so simple many meth addicts are making it themselves in their own homes, public bathrooms and even moving cars. How easy is it? Pseudoephedrine “pills are crushed, combined with some common household chemicals and then shaken in the soda bottle. No flame is required.”

But that doesn’t mean it’s any less dangerous: “If you don’t shake it just right, you can build up too much pressure, and the container can pop,” warns one cop. Kaboom!

*By the way, not everybody loves crystal meth and in fact many people really fucking hate it. We do not condone the manufacturing and/or use of it at all — especially if you don’t want to lose your teeth. Just say no, kids!
