Inspired by a rerun in which MacGyver seals an acid leak with a chocolate bar, we decided to dig up our old high school science books and find out if this stuff really works. The result of our investigation is The Unofficial MacGyver How-to Handbook: Actual Working Tricks as Seen on TV's MacGyver, an illustrated primer to MacGyver's tricks complete with scientific explanations.

The scientific explanation of why the trick works.
