Maeve,

from experience, get decent vinegar (no discount brands) for this to work. Film canisters are very hard to find now, so try fizzy vitamin tablet tubes, or small plastic  bottles and corks.

We created a short series of videos a while ago (I can’t believe 10 years!) with my former colleague Ria and Dr Niamh Shaw (as Eunice). This one demonstrates the baking powder and vinegar reaction.
