• Dawn dish detergent
• a hammer or mallet
• a letter opener or a screw driver
• a bunch of stuck together plastic buckets
• newspaper

Directions:

1. Have the bored teenager squeeze the dish detergent in the rim area between the buckets all the way around. Watch the Dawn get in between the buckets.
2. Push the letter opener in between the buckets where you've applied the dish detergent, it will squeeze in.
3. Lay the buckets on their side on the ground.
4. Hit the top bucket with the mallet or hammer near the letter opener (or screwdriver). Be sure to not hit directly on the letter opener or screwdriver.
5. You may have to go all the way around with the letter opener and the hammer.
6. Stop when you see the buckets start to come loose and pull them apart.
