The edition of the "Dabiq" magazine, published in English by an Isis media arm, claims the plane was bombed using an improvised explosive device hidden inside a can of Schweppes Gold pineapple juice.
Entitled "Just Terror", the cover displayed an image of one of the victims of the Paris attacks being treated by the emergency services.
And in its forward, it claimed to reveal how militants "discovered a way to compromise the security at Sharkm el-Sheikh airport" to bring down the Metrojet airliner on 31 October.

A desktop PC switch, a detonator and a Schweppes Gold soft drinks can. So where's the 1.25 Kg of explosives that the Russians claimed to use? Was the bomb place inside a food trolley?

Even if you're being sarcastic the two aren't comparable. A bomb in the fuselage will not only cause damage to the outer skin, it will collapse the floor, which cuts hydraulic lines and control cables. Commercial aircraft were designed to be as light and efficient as possible.
Missiles were designed to take down military aircraft, which require a lot of damage. There have been A-10s that landed with over 200 holes in them. No commercial aircraft could withstand that.
