Exploding toad?


There's no scientific basis for this, is there? I figure if it could really happen, people would be doing it and we'd hear about it in the news.

I don't know what the hell that whole toad scene was meant to establish. Other than to show that Quint was a bit of a storyteller and liked to pass on strangely stupid, slightly disturbing, inaccurate information to children ("he likes it"), and to emotionally scar 19 year old children with exploding animals. A toad will not explode from smoking a cigar/cigarette, nor can it even purse its lips in order to create a suction to inhale the smoke to begin with, and there's no scientific evidence whatsoever that toads like inhaling tobacco smoke in the first place. So your guess is as good as any.
