A group of individuals experimented with blending gumballs in different ways. They first put 10 gumballs in a blender and were surprised to find that they were easily pulverized into a fine powder. They then tried blending 500 gumballs, which also resulted in a powder-like substance that resembled "edible kinetic sand." After adding water to the mixture, it took on a consistency similar to chewed gum. The group then tried blending the gumball mixture with water to create a "concentrated gumball" that was extremely sweet and potent.
In another experiment, they chewed 500 gumballs and then blended them together, which proved to be a difficult task due to the gum's sticky texture. After adding hot water to loosen the mixture, they were finally able to blend it into a smooth, albeit unappetizing, "chewed gum smoothie."
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. The experiment involves blending gumballs in a powerful blender.
2. A single gumball contains 10 calories.
3. The first three ingredients of gumballs are different types of sugar.
4. The gum base of gumballs is made from a substance similar to rubber from a rubber tree.
5. Blending 10 gumballs in a blender results in a fine powder.
6. Blending 500 gumballs in a blender creates a large amount of gumball powder.
7. Adding water to the gumball powder creates a mixture that resembles kinetic sand.
8. The gumball mixture tastes like a concentrated version of gumball flavor.
9. Chewing 500 gumballs is extremely sweet and can cause stomach discomfort.
10. Removing the candy coating from gumballs makes them easier to chew.
11. Blending pre-chewed gum in a blender creates a smoothie-like consistency.
12. The blender used in the experiment can overheat and smell like burning motor when overloaded.
13. A 500-gumball mixture can be too much for the blender to handle.
14. Adding hot water to the gumball mixture helps loosen it and makes it easier to blend.
