In this video, the creators attempted to recreate a childhood candy, Nickel Nips, on a giant scale. Nickel Nips are small, wax bottles filled with a sweet, syrupy liquid. The creators used a giant plastic Coke bottle piggy bank as a mold and filled it with food-grade paraffin wax. After multiple attempts and adjustments, they successfully created a giant wax Coke bottle with a thick, even coating. They then filled the bottle with a homemade, thick Kool-Aid mixture and capped it with melted wax. Finally, they took the giant candy bottle outside and destroyed it by cutting off the top and pouring out the contents, revealing the successful casting of the wax and liquid inside.
