Jet Packs are considered to be pretty cool and a handy way to get around. However real jet packs aren't made for public use yet and takes lots of training to be able to use one correctly. But that doesn't stop people from finding a way around this. They are able to use certain objects like shaken up carbonated drinks, leaf blowers or air tanks to mimic their very own crude version of a jet pack, even if only for a few seconds. Super-Trope of Not Quite Flight. May also be created from MacGyvering and/or Bamboo Technology. Compare Improvised Microgravity Maneuvering and Gas-Cylinder Rocket. See also Recoil Boost. Sometimes the Soda Can Shakeup can be used as fuel. |

Jetpack Joyride has a lot of custom jetpacks, the most iconic being the starting one: a pack made of Gatling Good. Even better fitting examples are the bubble gun jetpack, the snow machine jetpack and especially the DIY jetpack (it's just a balloon strapped to Barry's back). | |

The Simpsons: In "Lemon of Troy", Bart tries to use spray paint cans as a makeshift jet pack. It's not too successful... In "Midnight Towboy", Homer rushes to the Kwik-E-Mart to buy milk for Maggie, only for Apu to tell him that the bullies bought it all to make jet pack fuel out of milk, Mentos, and lottery ticket scrapings. Homer asks if it actually works, with Jimbo, who is outside the store floating about a foot off the ground with milk bottles strapped to his back, replying that it only kinda works. |

Chop Chop Ninja Challenge: In the short "Ring the Bell", one of Tetsuo's attempts involves strapping a bunch of shaken up soda bottles to his back and fly over to ring the bell, only for the bat guard to distract him long enough for all the soda to run out and cause Tetsuo to fall to the ground. Unintentional examples happen in both "Hang The Painting", when one of Iro's attempts end in him being blasted into the sky from holding onto an accidentally lit firework and "Catch The Fish", when one of Tetsuo's attempts end in the same way but with a torpedo shot from a submarine. |
