I setup what I thought was a wonderful gag for my freinds.

I removed the label from an old vinegar bottle and filled it with hot water. I refrigerated a gallium spoon and moved it into the drawer just moments before my presenation (gallium has the wonderful property of being a solid metal at room temperature and melting at just above room temperature or 85F).

I invited my friend and his wife into the kitchen to show them a trick with "hydrofluoric acid". I opened the cupboard and very very carefully brought out the bottle of "acid". Using both hands I gingerly lowered the vessel onto the counter where they were sitting. I then grabbed a thick clear glass from the cupboard. I took a moment to assure them that the glass was completely inert and there was absolutely no danger; the "acid" couldn't possibly melt through the glass. I carefully unscrewed the metal cap from the bottle, making sure to keep my fingers far from the edges. I set the cap down on the counter and I cautiously began to pour the "acid" into the glass. I did so slowly "I don't want to spill, it will eat right through the granite" I noted. I filled it almost to the very top. At this point my freinds started to look distressed so I assured them again that I had done this before, there was no danger. I then reached into the drawer and pulled out the gallium spoon. I pushed the glass of "acid" closer to them and invited them to watch closely. I inserted the spoon into the "acid" and stirred - almost immediately the spoon melted. For greater effect I held the spoon handle just above the glass and allowed a drop of molten metal to fall back into the "acid" and sink to the bottom.

"Holy shit that stuff is strong!"

"That's nothing, you should see how it reacts to something organic."

I swung around as if to grab something from the refrigerator and I knocked the glass of "acid" into their laps.
That's when the hilarity ensured, at least for me. They jumped up, faster than I thought any human could, and began to scrape the "acid" from their clothes. I yelled "Don't get it on your hands!". They then began a frantic jazz hands act trying to shake off the "acid". "Oh god, I got some in my mouth!" my friend's wife screamed.

Preoccupied with their imminent disfiguration they didn't notice my braying laughter. I stifled my joy just long enough to reveal to them that is was only hot water. It took them quite a while to appreciate the humor.

Here's the kit if you want to make a spoon yourself.

The stuff isn't that expensive at all. Unfortunately, the spoons weren't available when I posted this comment. I'd like to get one!

Edit - Apparently they are. You can buy a kit that includes the gallium and make the spoons for yourself.
