Turning styrofoam into cinnamon candy

For a while now, I've been wanting to try and turn Styrofoam plastic into some tasty cinnamon candy and I have finally decided to try it.

didn't fuck up making cinnamaldehyde from styrofoam, fucked up candy making. this is the content i always come back for

This guy is the embodiment of someone who is smart/skilled enough to be allowed in the lab, but also insane enough to be banned from it

42:00 gotta love how he had basically 0 problems with the complicated science stuff but he ran into problems 4 steps into making the actual candy

His “inedible to edible” series is like the wikipedia game where you try to get from one article to another completely unrelated article by clicking on links

As someone who makes a lot of candy at home, it's funny seeing that Nile struggled more making basic hard candy than converting styrofoam into cinnamon oil in a lab.

49:43 "And I'm gonna be focusing on some more dangerous projects like turning AIR into a BOMB"
nilegreen really predicted it all along

$6, 500 for a candy roller is the craziest part of this video

What happened to the styrofoam cups for the party drinks?

Niles: Oh we needed those? They're candy now. Here have a cup turned candy.

Weeks of painstaking chemistry followed by minutes of complete improvisation.

You won't hear the words "it's really corrosive and kinda toxic, but it was exactly was exactly what I needed to make my cinnamon flavor" anywhere else

if youtube guidelines was not a thing, he would definetely turn air into a nuclear bomb

NileRed is the perfect blend of extremely detailed and diligent chemistry and phrases like “I figured it would probably be fine” and “I felt like the reaction was probably done”

Hey Nile, I’ve got a suggestion. How about turning shampoo into strawberry jam?

As a pastry chef, what happened was you Seized the sugar. using the metal scraper on it caused it to create small sugar crystals in the syrup. when mixing molten sugars, you only fold it using the silmat till the sugar becomes more dense.

If there’s one thing Nile Red has taught me, it’s that 90% of the work in chemistry is purification.

if i argue with that guy he would turn me into a gummy bear
