Then, using 120 shopping volunteers, the MythBusters find out the best way to wait in line at the store - Is it the "pick a lane" method or the more modern serpentine?
Episode 7: Failure Is Not an Option!
Air Date: February 13rd, 2016

In Farting on FLIR Jamie and Adam address the reddit community's request to know if a viral video purporting to show a flatus show up on an infrared camera is real or fake. Then in Ball Fall, Buster helps test whether a person would survive a 1,000-foot drop inside an inflatable ball. Paper Bag Punch sees Adam explore how easy it really is to punch your way out of a aper bag. And finally the most popular request was a gratuitous spectacular explosion. So in Snoo Boom the MythBusters oblige by blowing up reddit's mascot.
