Oil breaks the surface tension and the bubbles collapse themselves. There is very little matter involved.

Aside from making commercials interesting and midgets disappear from view, they're used for putting out fires in places like airplane hangers.

If you can make enough of it, fast enough, they do a great job *and* unlike Halon, don't destroy the ozone layer or kill people who are caught in it.

But the you have soap, probably glycerin, and now oil, all over everything including the inside of those stores. How do they clean all that up?
