It's super fun and one of the reasons (probably the only reason) I miss the midwest. We used to fill squirtguns with boiling water and it'd have a similar effect. First time it ever happened to me I was at work and it was negative 30 or something and absolutely dead so I went out to smoke while my co-worker was boiling water. He fake trips and drops the pot onto me, which immediately evaporated into warm steam.
After my heart attack, I decided it was a pretty cool trick
