As long as there are books, movies, television, and video games, people will always try to recreate everything in their favorite work. Unfortunately, many works contain explosives, including homemade varieties. Even if the viewer could be trusted to recreate those without blowing themselves up, society is highly against people using homemade explosives. (We've had some bad experiences.) High-profile media, after a certain date, must respect this or gain the wrath of Moral Guardians or worse. A rare instance where explosions are not better. Examples of And Some Other Stuff include:

High-profile media, after a certain date, must respect this or gain the wrath of Moral Guardians or worse. So, to avoid liability issues and criminal charges (in case someone tries to make the explosive), some critical ingredient for the explosive is removed, replaced (with something less volatile) or referred to vaguely (as "stuff", "my secret ingredient", or similar) to prevent disasters like Your Head Asplode or Apocalypse How. A rare instance where explosions are not better. Occasionally happens with other types of weapons of mass destruction. Speculative Fiction will usually make the "other stuff" Unobtanium. See also Don't Try This At Home. Compare Secret Ingredient, which is about being tasty rather than explosive. Contrast Noodle Implements, where you know exactly what's going to be used, and absolutely nothing about how. Examples of And Some Other Stuff include:
