Never Ever Do This at Home tests everything we have been told not to do at home in the only logical location : a home . In Never Ever Do This at Home we test every warning you have ever heard or read so that YOU don ’ t need to try it yourself . By challenging the warnings on bottles and containers and breaking accepted health and safety regulations , we give the audience an entertaining and visually striking impression of what could happen if you fall for the temptation of trying out crazy and stupid stunts . The victim is a house and its surroundings where the hosts rampage freely . At the same time , we explain the physics and chemistry behind the experiments that take place so that people learn whilst being entertained .
