Pushing A Cotton Candy Machine To Its Limit - Summary

Summary

The speaker recounts a series of experiments conducted over three weeks with YouTube scientists Peter Streeple and Alan Pan, also known as the Backyard Scientists. The experiments involved blowing things up, harassing other YouTubers, and taking pictures with an old school hipster film camera.

One of the experiments involved pouring molten salt into a cotton candy machine at 1500 degrees Fahrenheit. Despite the high temperature, the machine did not break, and the salt did not melt into cotton candy.

Another experiment involved pouring string cheese into the machine, which resulted in a disaster as the cheese melted and stuck to the machine. The machine was then cleaned and repaired.

The speaker also attempted to pour Flintstone vitamins into the machine, but this did not work either. The main ingredient of the vitamin, sorbital, has a lower melting point than sugar, and did not melt into cotton candy.

The speaker then tried to pour lava into the machine, which resulted in a disaster as the lava melted the machine. However, the lava did not melt into cotton candy, but rather formed a volcanic glass.

Despite the failures, the speaker expressed gratitude to the Backyard Scientists and Kevin for their support and collaboration. The speaker also thanked Bespoke Post, a membership club that delivers products from under the radar brand, for sponsoring the video.

Finally, the speaker announced a giveaway for a cotton candy machine and leftover banana sugar, with the winner to be selected from the comments on the video.
