HOLY SHIT I JUST TRIED IT AND IT WORKS!!!!!!!!
I tried it on two other CDs and it did not work nearly as well on those.
The first one I used was old. There was no bubbling when I heated the CD.
The next two were newer and had tiny bubbles when they were heated. They popped really quick instead of turning into a long tube.

Neat.
I always liked the fun fact that if you fire a bullet horizontally, and drop a bullet at the same time from the same height, both rounds hit the ground at the same time.

Except that the curvature of the Earth. . . .

A supersonic M-16 round has a max range of 3600m, or about 2 and a quarter miles. At the equator the earth has a circumference of about 25k miles. Figure middle latitudes of the United States, approximately half way up the northern equator, and we're talking about maybe 18k miles (not going to do the math). 2 miles out of 18k is so close to zero change in elevation due to curvature that it might as well be zero.
Your statement is moot.

When shot level, at a height 60" a .223 will hit the ground at 440 yards.
You have to aim up to get it to travel 3,600m.
Earth curvature is even less important, Gordo.
That animated GIF though, It bugs me how the ball hangs in the air before dropping.
Is the truck just driving really fast, then they speed the video back up?
Edit: Yeah, they speed it as soon as the truck leaves the frame, then slow it again on the bounce.

I was just doing more to make my point than just saying, "nuh uh."

I saw the sideways toaster thing on Reddit a few weeks ago, but don't most toasters squeeze the bread once it is depressed into the toaster? The bars would squish into the melted cheese.
