Sub Jet

Does anyone remember having a toy submarine where one would place two pellets in the body and it would dive?

I had a toy submarine many years ago where one would put a blue pellet and a either white or pink pellet together in the body. The sub would produce a jet from its aft and bubbles would emanate from the conning tower and then it would submerge and and then it would surface after the bubbles stopped. It was similar in design to the nuclear submarine U.S.S. Nautilus with its two - tone color scheme, a light grey over a charcoal grey hull.

As this is a classic toy, a few companies produce them with different variations. Mostly they are in the form you describe, and there are others based on the same principle, such as divers or volcanoes.
The pellets were probably made from baking soda. The majority of these that I've seen just instruct to use baking powder directly.
Check hobby and science stores, as well as the cheap toy sections of some bigger department stores, if you are looking for one.
In the meantime, I'm attaching links for more information about these toys. There are purchase links at the bottom of that page, if you can't find anything like it in your area.

If you are a casual traveler you are probably unaware that there are big differences in the amount of legroom among the seats in economy class. Because most casual travelers cannot afford to fly business class they must sit in economy where there is much less room and comfort. Not all economy seats have the same amount of leg room or other features such as moveable arm rests, the ability to recline, moveable vents, power points, and audio and visual equipment.

There are many different airlines and passenger jets including Airbus, Boeing, CRJ, and Embraer. Airbus is one of the more popular passenger jets in the United States and finding a comfortable seat is not hard but it does take some research. Most people who travel will eventually ride on an Airbus and although there are superior seats in economy class you have to know where they are if you are going to request them.

Seats near bulkheads can be some of the bet or some of the worst. Seats behind a bulk head have more leg room than other seats in economy class and more privacy because there is no one seated in front of you. The drawback to sitting behind the bulkhead is that the tray table is located inside the armrest which makes the arm rest immovable so you will not be able to stretch out if the seat next to you is vacant.

On Airbus jets the emergency exit rows also have more legroom although the windows may not be centered so your view will be impeded. If you are traveling with children you will not be able to sit in the exit row, however, because children under 15 are not allowed to sit in exit rows for safety purposes.

The first couple of rows in economy are the most coveted because people sitting in these rows are the first to exit the plane and the first to be served. However, the overhead storage in the first row is limited. Most airbus models have a row of two seats near the middle of the economy section which afford more room because of the missing seat.

The debate between window seat and aisle seat is a personal one and everyone has a different preference. Airbus jets have plenty of both, but if you are a window lover you should know that the windows are not aligned in the middle near the exit rows so if you love the view those are not the best seats for you.

If you are need to sit close to the bathroom or want to avoid sitting near them because of the traffic large Airbus models have one bathroom located behind first class in the front of economy, two in the middle of economy, and two in the back. If you want to be near the bathroom the very front, middle or back seats will keep you close or they are the ones to avoid if you want to avoid all the bathroom traffic.
