I did, I have the scars on my hands to prove it. Molten plastic dispenser for kids. What a great idea!

At 8 years old you could mold a car, fill it with firecrackers, douse it with gasoline, pour a line of gas to act as a wick, singe your hair lighting it, revel over the explosion and burned out mass of bubbling plastic, then go throw lawn darts at your buddies.
It doesn't get much better than that.

We used a trail of gun powder instead of gasoline to get it all started
