Righto.
Any idea which chemical in it reacts with the aluminium? Just thinking, if you can get the chemical on its own, and heat it up before adding the aluminium balls, the reaction may be more violent and result in a bigger explosion.
EDIT: My my! !K_A! seems to be a psychic!

Actually, I was wrong, it's the Hydrocloric acid. I'll link a video here.
Someone suggested to put a bunch of nuts and bolts in the bottle and stick it in a mailbox, and it will blow the mailbox to pieces.

Also, it's good to not crumple up the aluminum foil balls TOO much, because the more surface area that is exposed, the faster the reaction will happen.
