A Bag of CHIPS in LIQUID NITROGEN?

What else should I try to freeze?

He just bought chips as a tax write-off. What a legend

Finally, a way to visually check the air to chips ratio of the bag without opening the bag

The main liquid in Doritos is vegetable oil, and it will have gasses dissolved in it. When you cool the bag down, the oil turns semisolid and the dissolved gasses condense and fall out of solution with the oil. Then you warm the bag up and those gasses vaporize into the airspace. That's why there seems to be more gas in the bag.

Fun fact: Since oxygen has an higher boiling point than nitrogen, you get a tiny puddle of liquid oxygen in the bag. I even presume thats where the extra air in the bag comes from. Liquid oxygen is highly reactive and probably just reacted with the chips, creating some CO².

Don’t let Lays get this idea, we would have no chips in the bag, just damn air

[purelyforenterment]

Fun fact : These bags already contains Nitrogen inside.

Bro is just out here raw dawggin that nitrogen

[dharmikthanki]

I wanted some fresh air so I bought Lays and surprisingly I found some chips too.

[djimenez]

You just found a way for Lays to sell less chips and more air lol

[JeseBeast]

Bro was a lil too comfortable putting his bare hand in to submerge that Doritos bag
Edit: stop commenting about the leidenfrost effect it’s been said over 20 times and also they do make gloves for handling liquid nitrogen

Lays higher ups: Write that down and someone get this man a job here

[mattforbes]

You were easily the best part of TKOR and obviously the heart and soul. Would love to see more of you on the internet.

[jamestunedflat]

Love the dragon's breath at the end. You've got some big swinging brass ones to eat a cryogenic chip.

[Xenalt_YT]

Fun fact: Lays uses a lot of nitrogen to keep the chips from crumbing thats why they weren't just some crumbs

[juststartsomewhere]

Fun fact chip bags are filled with nitrogen not just air it makes the bag look fuller and preserves the chips better. It's also lighter wich I guess might affect shipping cost on large scale.

[abdalshaikh]

Bro got a phone call from lays after putting it in liquid nitrogen for the first time 💀

[Adventist]

I love how your still doing what everyone loves you for. Doing awesome, interesting experiments.

[Azelethros_OG]

The poof of visible gas when eating the chip was the highlight. Love you Nate!

Regarding the extra gas upon warming up again... think about the vacuum effects.

He mentioned that the gas in the bag condensed and shrank to the point that it was as though the bag had been shrink-wrapped or vacuum packed.

Apparently the vacuum action was quite strong, as he expected the chips to come out crushed to the point of just being crumbs.

If the vacuum was strong enough, the moisture and perhaps some of the other compounds inside of the chips would boil or evaporate, as in freeze drying.

I imagine that upon warming up again, the water could absorb some of the pure nitrogen to form nitrogenous oxide and/or HO gas, and some of the organic compounds could break down or vaporize to form additional gases such as methane CH4.
