The body of the extinguisher contains sodium bicarbonate dissolved in water. In the top, there is a bottle of acid. When someone turns the extinguisher upside down, the sodium bicarbonate and acid reacts to release carbon dioxide under pressure. The water/acid solution is then forced out of the extinguisher under pressure.
