When you break a thermometer

Because it now has millibars! 😛

If you break a spirit thermometer, the red line will fragment into a bunch of bars.

That is all.

I don't recommend that. It tastes like watered down diesel or even K8 spiked with bourbon and smuckers' jam.

Do you have the old ones that contain mercury and it got all over you?.

Mercury ones will fragment too of course Hg is quite poisonous at room temps (vapors) and they go right to the brain if this applies so.

It's also neat to heat the vessel at the bottom of the tube with a bunsen flame and watch it burst. With spirit filled bulbs you will get a nice flame out. Hg is dangerous to do and goggles may not afford sufficient protection against outer skin layer penetration of mildly heated spherical globals of Hg traveling at medium speeds.

I've had that happen to thermometers just by dropping them(but not breaking).

It's a PITA to get all the stuff back down...

You can bang it on cork to re-unite the column or apply heat gently until it reaches the top of the tube. Just remember too much heat and splat!

But it's so fun to play with...

I remember the good old days (15 years ago) where you could play with mercury in your bare hands without it causing cancer and the authorities closing down your neighbood for weeks and labeling you as a terrorist..

Mercury is NOT a carcinogen. It causes INSANITY.
 
There are plenty of merc switches in T87F stats found everywhere.

They make good tilt sensors for cars too. Connect to explosive bolts and when car is jacked BOOM. Most thieves will leave if this happens. A few wraps of det cords around the gas tank augments this but have respect for your neighbors and park far away in case you get jacked.
