Cup vs. Car: Original Airdate 3/24/2010

In this episode, Adam and Jamie tested whether or not a cup of soda or other drink thrown out the window can penetrate a windshield and kill the driver inside. Before the myth itself could be tested, Adam and Jamie did preliminary tests to find which material would deliver the most force on impact. They then moved on to full-scale tests with a cup full of a slush drink. During the testing, Adam and Jamie estimated that the average speed at which two cars would approach each other on a highway is about 130 mph. The results of the testing left the myth "partly busted", since the cup broke through the windsheild, but it would not have killed anyone inside.
