The speaker, who appears to be a YouTube content creator, discusses an experiment they conducted to determine the amount of sawdust that could be incorporated into a Rice Krispies treat before it becomes noticeable to the consumer. They hypothesized that 50% of the Rice Krispies could be replaced with sawdust, with the variables being the amount of sawdust, rice, and the impact on taste. They tested the treats with 0%, 15%, 30%, 50%, and 100% sawdust, and observed that the treats become increasingly difficult to eat as the percentage of sawdust increases.
The speaker also shared their experience of tasting the treats, describing them as feeling hard and, by the end of the test, creating a "wood glue" in the mouth. They noted that the taste changes as the percentage of sawdust increases, with the 15% sawdust treat tasting like a "caramel" and the 33% sawdust treat tasting like a "weird foreign dessert".
The speaker concluded that while sawdust can be incorporated into Rice Krispies, the experience of eating the treats would be significantly different, and the taste would change as the percentage of sawdust increases. They also mentioned that the treats would become increasingly difficult to eat as the percentage of sawdust increases.
