Mythbusters episode: Can overshrinking jeans while wearing the bath kill you?

BrettChaotix · Nov 12, 2007

Those of you East Coasters can turn on DIscovery Channel right now and find an episode of the Mythbusters about raw denim....

"Can wearing jeans in the tub while shrinking them cut off circulation to your legs?"

So they went to some store in SF called "wasteland" (anyone know it?) and bought some cheap raw jeans and are trying it.

They are also doing a "can friction catch your jeans on fire" test

Well? Don't keep us in suspense...

dcg · Nov 12, 2007

he survived

BrettChaotix · Nov 12, 2007

he survived - myth busted

the jeans did shrink though (after 6 hours!)

robbie · Nov 12, 2007

nvm, hey what kind of jeans are they... and seriously, he sat in the tub for like 7 hours.

crazy!

crazy!

yeah well it was a big inflatable pool, and that cute red-head was giving him backrubs all day. I'm guessing the giant W on the rear pocket and the cheap price tag = dry Wranglers?

That water heater explosion was pretty sick!!

Yea I know wasteland.
It's this really big thrift shop on Haight.
Stuff is pretty damn overpriced there though.
