This morning, Christie St. Martin used her blog, Funny Pages 2.0, on the Los Angeles Times website to list some of the problems, including ones that involved nitroglycerin, that MacGyver had solved on his eponymous television show
However, we’re most interested in the problems involving chewing gum, and Ms. St. Martin does not let us down:
MacGyver repairs a blown fuse using the aluminium wrapper of a stick of chewing gum to close the circuit (this was tested and confirmed to work by MythBusters*).
