In a creative experiment, a team spent five days constructing a 400-pound wall entirely out of candy, including sugar, Skittles, and other sweets. Despite multiple failures and warehouse damages, they succeeded in creating the wall. They then embarked on a series of attempts to break it using various tools ranging from footballs to sledgehammers, revealing the surprising resilience of the candy structure. The process was messy, sticky, and challenging, but also filled with humorous moments and discoveries. Ultimately, the wall proved to be tough to break, standing up to most of the creative destruction methods employed.
