Growing a chemical snake that looks like a turd

This is a new type of video style that we have decided to try. It is a lot more casual and it involves my brother and our friend (the camera guy). In this one, we burned calcium gluconate pills to make a weird snake thing, and it was something that I wanted to do for a while.

Story of my life. Also, would make a cool t-shirt.

Throwing white powder everywhere, heating up spoons, man this really is a different style of video.

[Mostlyharmless]

Man, this guy is a walking fortune cookie.

Huh. My uncle also heats stuff with a lighter and spoon. Didn’t know he was a scientist

[nichromewater]

NileRed: very scientific and the most careful
NileBlue: eheheeheheheh DOG TURD

[jonas]

NileRed: the cleanest reactions and setups youve ever seen
NileBlue: throws powder on the ground and makes a giant cloud out of ash

[maximuswood]

NileRed: *science*
NileBlue: we're going to make turds

[thedankside]

Alright just finished the video and I gotta say I wasn’t quite sure what you meant from your last video when you said you wanted to change up Nileblue and do something different, but I get it now and I really like it. The more casual and fun vibe of this video fits the channel very well (in my opinion) and I hope you’ll continue with and improve on this style in future Nileblue videos. I also hope the style doesn’t leak into Nilered which I view as a very strict and formulaic style which I also like and think is a lot more educational. Point is: Love the contrast between red and blue and I hope they’ll both continue their respective styles. Lots of love from an old fan <3.

0:55 love how he took so much effort to essentially said "it literally looks like shit"

[elias]

"We have to hit it with a blowtorch. We have literally no other option" is probably my favorite quote of the year so far

[LaigsCZ]

Listening to the "professional tone" while describing such a stupid (and fun) experiment just gives it another layer of humor.

[thismustbeisaac]

i adore these more casual videos, Nile's personality is so wholesome

[EmmaVZ]

I really like this style of video. It was fun to watch! It's refreshing to see a more casual atmosphere to your vids, but I also love the format of the main channel vids. So having both is a win-win situation! I'm excited to see more, keep it up with the awesome content!

Why does NileRed looks like someone that really thought and made a lot of things, and Blue just looks like someone who likes chemistry and saw some cool shit and tries making it

[chriscarguy]

Nile Red: “You can’t really fail when you have no objective”

*My life motto*

[unknownlad]

6:54 hit me. He looks so happy and doing thing that he’s never done. He acts like more of a normal person that professional which I love. Seems in his comfort zone. (Btw watching this video with music in the background seems fun)

[jameswhatsit]

3:10 “today on nile blue, we heat Russian pharmaceuticals we purchased off the internet on a spoon”
Man, you guys have fallen on hard times 😂🤣

[hiddentruth]

as someone that use to work with presses a pill press is rather small but runs around 20 tons of pressure so to get a solid pill I would go at least 5 tons to 10 tons of pressure.

[shay]

I seem to have caught feelings from that one single giggle at the beginning

[prematuredgravy]

NileRed: Cold, calculated
Nileblue: I made something gross on accident and I wanna do it again
