Mark Rober's Secret Devil's Toothpaste Recipe Revealed

In this video I show how you can make Mark Robers Devil's Elephant's Toothpaste explosion, by revealing the secret recipe.
I also prove the statements I make by perfoming my own experiments.

It is actually quite easy to make however the main ingredient 50 % hydrogen peroxide is a highly restricted chemical and difficult to get.
Either way please don't repeat this on your own even if you somehow can, because 50 % hydrogen peroxide is quite nasty stuff.

Anyway here is the secret recipe:

5 L of 50 % Hydrogen Peroxide
350 mL of Dish Soap
2 g of blue Food Coloring
and to activate it 600 g of 50 % Potassium Iodide (KI) Solution.

Have fun and stay safe!

“I knew that I went to far but only by going to far can you find how far you *can* go.”

Spoken like a true mad scientist.

I don't even plan to make this. I just needed to know how to make it because Mark tried to hide it. Classic Streisand 😋😈

Elias, congrats. The ChemTalk team has been talking about this same experiment, and we also suspected the 50% H2O2 plus KI combination. We knew KI was a likely candidate because of its lower toxicity and easier clean-up which would be attractive to Rober's team. Based on your experiments, we feel fairly certain that you are correct. Excellent job on this video, and we hope you had fun trying to contain the foam that almost flew away. As always, looking forward to the next video.

"Only when you go too far can you know how far you can go". Love that 'mad scientist' accent.

Thanks. Another parent from a local homeschool group was talking about possibly doing a devils toothpaste demo sometime next year, and I was so confused because Mark Rober didn't reveal the recipe and I just had to find out if anyone even knew it before asking more. I bet they or their spouse are teachers at the local university if they know how to get hold of that concentration of hydrogen peroxide. I'll ask about all the safety precautions to be extra sure, but I imagine if they know how to get hold of the chemicals, they're familiar enough with chemistry to take the proper precautions without my needing to. I hope someone has a good infrared thermometer and we can compare the heat output of the 2 reactions. This would be a good opportunity to talk about why the heat forms and whats happening on a molecular level.

You rock! I was trying to figure out how they did it and I'm so happy to see that you had figured it out!

[josephhaley]

An impressive, and humorous, investigation - proving, once again, that the simplest answer is most often the correct one. Having subscribed after finding your solution in this video, I'm looking forward to more of them.

[JetBridge]

this is one of the best videos I have seen in a while. I have been looking for this recipe for a long time.

[larsrons]

Great video, Elias. And I would guess that Mark Rober would applaud you. Keep it up with good videos to share with us.

[Ivyiswatching]

When I tell you I was looking for the recipe for WEEKS I mean WEEKS thank you so much I really appreciate your hard work we all do to be honest

[polecat]

Thanks friend! I eagerly await being on a watchlist.

[blendertimelapses]

Thank you so much for this! I’ve been looking for this for ever

[EpochIsEpic]

I've been wondering about this - great video!

[ryanraymond]

Nice video. Thanks for figuring it out for us non chemists.

*_" Mark Rober's Lawyer wants to know your location "_*

[gamersden]

Amazing! Surprised no one did it sooner :)

[michaellrakes]

Very cool! You cracked the code amazingly

[coyotewacker]

Your a smart Dude !! Goodluck in your Adventures!!!

[ChemSketch]

Very good, you are very talented and intelligent, keep it up.your channel will blow up soon!

I think this was the most adorably presented science I ever did see.
