Who started the dancing raisins experiment?

The dancing raisins experiment, often used as a simple demonstration of buoyancy and gas production, is commonly attributed to the popularization by science educators and television shows, rather than a single individual. It became widely known through various science kits and educational resources in the late 20th century. The experiment typically involves placing raisins in a carbonated beverage, where they rise and fall due to the bubbles attaching to them. This engaging activity illustrates basic scientific principles in a fun and accessible way.
