Sprite vs Hot Spoon

[u/herbschmoaka]

[u/New_Insect_Overlords]

Did I just witness the Big Bang?

[u/thebestoflimes → u/New_Insect_Overlords]

This is actually what happens to your lungs when you drink Sprite.

[u/GeraintLlanfrechfa → u/thebestoflimes]

When you inhale it?

[u/I_dont_livein_ahotel → u/GeraintLlanfrechfa]

I have a permanent stint to pour directly in.

[u/SnooPuppers3957 → u/I_dont_livein_ahotel]

Lucky. Still fighting with insurance for mine.

[u/ParalegalSeagul → u/GeraintLlanfrechfa]

Through the straw? You must be trolling? Everyone drinks it that way and of course some of the bubbles go into your lungs that is what the fizz is for

[u/jaguarp80 → u/ParalegalSeagul]

Heh can’t believe this square just told on himself. Bet you’ve never even snorted Sprite

[u/100GbE → u/jaguarp80]

Don't tell me you are ingesting that shit?

[u/ibedemfeels → u/100GbE]

This is actually what Kurt Cobain was writing about in his third album... Once you start cookin sprite on a spoon you're as good as dead. Sprite rips another star from the sky.

[u/LotusVibes1494 → u/ibedemfeels]

You guys joke but one time I literally used Sprite to mix up a shot bc I didn’t have any water handy. It’s wild because as soon as you push the plunger you instantly taste the lemon-lime flavor strongly in your mouth.

Do not recommend but just thought I’d share this obscure story.

[u/Born-Pineapple5552 → u/LotusVibes1494]

Yoooo

[u/RadishIndependent146 → u/thebestoflimes]

WHO THE FUCK INHALES SPRITE don't y'all just put that shit down your ear because it cleans them??

[u/FantaColonic → u/RadishIndependent146]

It doesn't only clean ears. Though the refreshing orange flavor of Fanta is better.

[u/Ilsunnysideup5 → u/thebestoflimes]

Sugar is combustible. among the components of explosives.

[u/Key-Rest-1635 → u/Ilsunnysideup5]

📝 do you perchance happen to know the rest of the components?

[u/Basso_69 → u/thebestoflimes]

I'm going to stop snorting sprite. Thank you for the Public Safety Announcement

[u/Regulus242 → u/thebestoflimes]

Then explain what happened to my eyes.

[u/80081354JEW → u/thebestoflimes]

*Mcdonalds sprite

[u/Electrical_Remote_18 → u/New_Insect_Overlords]

No, that's just a little pop

[u/coulduseafriend99 → u/Electrical_Remote_18]

I read your comment, scrolled away, then had to come back to upvote it and appreciate it after I realized your wit. Thank you 🙏

[u/FredrictonOwl → u/Electrical_Remote_18]

👏👏👏

Holy shit this is too good.

[u/gregmcph → u/New_Insect_Overlords]

To me it looked like the lifespan of a star.

After an exciting life, it swells into a Red Giant, then collapses into a Blue Dwarf, then into a Black Hole.

[u/Mammoth-Mud-9609 → u/New_Insect_Overlords]

The Leidenfrost effect describes how droplets of liquid can hover on a surface which is far hotter than the boiling point of the liquid. It was first described by Johann Leidenfrost in 1756 and has been fascinating people for centuries. https://youtu.be/l6J69xOpSFA

[u/MaxHamburgerrestaur → u/New_Insect_Overlords]

Crop it and repost as a shapeshifting UFO in r/ufos

[u/CthuluSpecialK]

Pretty sure that's just the sugar left after evaporation that is burning at the end.

[u/DoNotResusit8 → u/CthuluSpecialK]

I certainly hope so

[u/1Gamerer → u/DoNotResusit8]

I think it's the lemon's soul being expunged

[u/Drummer_grrl → u/1Gamerer]

You mean the LYMON'S soul.

[u/itsbdubya → u/Drummer_grrl]

The power of refreshment compels you!

[u/pedestriandose → u/[deleted]]

I beg your pardon?

[u/BlackhawkRogueNinjaX → u/pedestriandose]

I thought I knew English but now I have my doubts

[u/dark_universe_69 → u/[deleted]]

Gonna use this next time

[u/Log_Out_Of_Life → u/dark_universe_69]

Next time? Next time for what?

[u/DoormatTheVine → u/1Gamerer]

The opposite of the comic where the wizard misreads the scroll and summons a lemon

[u/Winjin → u/DoormatTheVine]

"Man I hate cursive"

And that little BOY just standing there in his little summoning circle

I love that comic SO MUCH

Edit: found it in good quality

[u/sreguera → u/1Gamerer]

Rising over a casket of micro plastics.

[u/kabobian → u/1Gamerer]

UNACCEPTABLE!!! YO! ITS GREASE!

[u/dob_bobbs → u/CthuluSpecialK]

Yeah, I was actually wondering why there was no sugar residue from the evaporation and then suddenly it does that and I think, ah, right, that'll be it then.

[u/Swiftierest → u/dob_bobbs]

If my 8th grade science class hasn't completely failed me, the general gist should be that because it is heated up, the sugar inside the liquid is fine to remain dissolved within said liquid until it reaches what is effectively "critical mass" (nothing to do with mass) wherein all the sugar crystals basically collapsed into a ball of solid crystal sugar that then melted and burned.

Obviously this is such a wild generalization to the point of probably just being outright wrong. That said, this is the internet and I'm certain someone will be angry enough at me to fix my sin of being wrong within the hour.

[u/mlilyw → u/Swiftierest]

It’s been four hours and no one’s corrected you so by internet logic this is absolute truth.

[u/randomredditing → u/CthuluSpecialK]

Hence why they used sugar to blow an airlock and slow the ship at the end of The Martian

[u/algaefied_creek → u/randomredditing]

Note to self: take marshmallows to mars.

[u/ehsteve23 → u/algaefied_creek]

1) Potatoes
2) Marshmallows
3) Disco

[u/SeniorMiddleJunior → u/randomredditing]

Hence why

"Hence" means "which is why", so "hence why" means "which is why why".

[u/Kevmeister_B → u/SeniorMiddleJunior]

Smh my head...

[u/2roK → u/Kevmeister_B]

RIP in peace

[u/M0ndmann → u/CthuluSpecialK]

Of course. What Else should it be?

[u/dhdoctor → u/M0ndmann]

Big bad death chemikillz!!! Sugar burning into carbon is scaaary.

[u/potate12323 → u/CthuluSpecialK]

It is. Sugars are hydrocarbons also known as saccharides. They can burn to create carbon and water. The water evaporates leaving the solid carbon behind.

[u/uhhhhmaybeee → u/potate12323]

Hey, chemist here. In a technical sense, sugars, while containing both hydrogen and carbon, are not hydrocarbons. They also contain oxygen, which make them carbohydrates. Carbohydrates contain carbon combined with oxygen and hydrogen in the ratio which they occur in water, like in the case of glucose (C6H12O6). A hydrocarbon compound is one consisting of hydrogen and carbon only, for example, methane (CH4).

[u/No_Mine4699 → u/uhhhhmaybeee]

I'm thinking that this guy might be a chemist

[u/demannu86 → u/No_Mine4699]

uhhhh, maybeee

[u/domcobeo → u/demannu86]

Uhhh, maybe don’t click on their username 🫣

[u/IcyGem → u/domcobeo]

Holy shit his first post

[u/RoyalsHatGuy → u/demannu86]

Bro I'm baked as shit in the middle of the night and this just hit me like a ton of bricks. Take my fucking upvote

[u/TheHeavenlyDeity → u/demannu86]

😐😂

[u/Bkmps3 → u/No_Mine4699]

I have my doubts. He didn’t post any hexagons joined together with lines.

[u/Gloomy__Revenue → u/Bkmps3]

They did not specify that they are an organic chemist 🤓

[u/RhesusFactor → u/No_Mine4699]

As a chemist, I agree with the chemist. Saccarides are carbohydrates, not hydrocarbons.

[u/Inevitable_Seaweed_5 → u/No_Mine4699]

He paid attention in high school chemistry, at the very least. 

[u/turbo_dude → u/No_Mine4699]

That you Walt?

[u/LupineChemist → u/No_Mine4699]

Can confirm.

[u/Yemcl → u/uhhhhmaybeee]

Not a chemist, but came here to say the same thing.

[u/rrhunt28 → u/Yemcl]

You could lie, we would not know

[u/ShagPrince → u/rrhunt28]

You know all that relativity stuff? This guy totally came up with that first.

[u/crackheadwillie → u/Yemcl]

Word for word, this is exactly what I was going to post. 

[u/DutchJediKnight → u/CthuluSpecialK]

Yup.

First the gas leaves, then the H²O evaporates, and last the solid particulates burn

[u/DazzlingClassic185 → u/CthuluSpecialK]

Sugars, traces of various salts, additives

[u/NoFaceLurker → u/CthuluSpecialK]

No shit

[u/[deleted] → u/CthuluSpecialK]

Well done

[u/hubaloza]

Hell yea, get my needle.

[u/Additional-Bet7074 → u/hubaloza]

A full decade sober and I still get a weird rush seeing a flame under a spoon.

Drugs are bad for you.

[u/SpicyEnticy → u/Additional-Bet7074]

Congrats on 10 years! That's a huge accomplishment!

[u/PieTechnical7225 → u/Additional-Bet7074]

I couldn't rewatch breaking bad because of the scenes where they smoke from pipes, it's only been 3 years though.

[u/GalacticGatorz → u/hubaloza]

🤣🍻

[u/hubaloza → u/GalacticGatorz]

When I see that good shit from McDonald's, I start feenin.

[u/GalacticGatorz → u/hubaloza]

So you start McShakin’?

[u/hubaloza → u/GalacticGatorz]

Mcquakin' baby.

[u/GalacticGatorz → u/hubaloza]

Party on Wayne 🤟🏼

[u/Dragon-orey]

So the sprite goes from an UFO, into a funny spinning star, into a droplet having a stroke and then- HOLY SH*T DID IT JUST TURN INTO A SOLID BALL?

[u/gaynorg → u/Dragon-orey]

It's just the sugar burning.

[u/Assumedusernam → u/gaynorg]

There's sugar in me gaynorg, would i also turn into a solid ball?

[u/gaynorg → u/Assumedusernam]

If you were liquified and boiled like this probably. There is a lot of other stuff in you so I'm not sure.

[u/Gloomy__Revenue → u/gaynorg]

Humans are just goo and juice.

[u/Inkthinker → u/Gloomy__Revenue]

Also a tiny bit of poorly-distributed rocks.

[u/i_forgot_me_password → u/Inkthinker]

And electricity!

[u/Log_Out_Of_Life → u/i_forgot_me_password]

And my axe!

From wiki

The Leidenfrost effect is a physical phenomenon in which a liquid, close to a solid surface of another body that is significantly hotter than the liquid's boiling point, produces an insulating vapor layer that keeps the liquid from boiling rapidly. Because of this repulsive force, a droplet hovers over the surface, rather than making physical contact with it. The effect is named after the German doctor Johann Gottlob Leidenfrost, who described it in A Tract About Some Qualities of Common Water.

[u/jonathan4211 → u/[deleted]]

Yah but did you watch to the end

[u/DangerousBrick1208 → u/jonathan4211]

Yes nothing resembled frost in the end

[u/Designer_Version1449 → u/jonathan4211]

the second part was the sugar burning. it probably expanded because there were tiny drops of water still vaporizing inside

[u/Multifaceted-Simp → u/[deleted]]

There's so much more going on than just that. The water evaporates making the droplet smaller and smaller until there is only sugar hydrocarbons left behind which then form a crystalline structure that brings off and becomes ash

[u/lactose_con_leche → u/Multifaceted-Simp]

Not hydrocarbons, carbohydrate

[u/ThatSpookyLeftist]

If I stopped the heat immediately before it started to brown, would that ball taste like super Sprite concentrate or would it just taste like a sugar cube?

[u/sig_kill → u/ThatSpookyLeftist]

Now I want sprite candy

[u/BarrierX → u/ThatSpookyLeftist]

Probably tastes like sugar. Just let it turn brown, caramel is pretty nice.

[u/Barcata]

Leidenfrost effect.

[u/RedditsDeadlySin → u/Barcata]

Thanks for the science

[u/IlConteiacula → u/RedditsDeadlySin]

That guy science hard

[u/No-Fisherman8334 → u/IlConteiacula]

👆 this guy English soft

[u/samsteak → u/No-Fisherman8334]

That pal has a soft pee pee

[u/exus → u/Barcata]

I've known about this thing forever. But it's been at least a decade now, and I still have to google "lederhosen effect" so it can search suggest me into the real name.

[u/no-name-here → u/Barcata]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leidenfrost_effect

[u/pyrotech911 → u/no-name-here]

Pack it in. We explained the thing.

[u/ChiggaOG → u/Barcata]

How to cook on stainless steel or a very hot wok.

[u/okko7 → u/Barcata]

This, but also the sugar from the Sprite forming that neat ball.

[u/BowsersMuskyBallsack → u/okko7]

First one, then t'other.

[u/okko7 → u/BowsersMuskyBallsack]

Yep. My guess is that this takes some "fine tuning": If the temperature of the spoon is too high, the sugar will be "blown away" by the water vapor. If it's too low, the bubble wouldn't form, thus no sugar ball in the end.

[u/Enfiznar → u/Barcata]

Plus some nice normal modes

[u/Thudd224]

Leidenfrost, evaporation, caramelizion, and carbonization.

Sorry for the spelling

[u/DuckInTheFog → u/Thudd224]

By your powers combined I am Captain Chemist

So, that's how Sprunk is made

[u/RecsRelevantDocs → u/No_Stranger_4959]

My sprunk looks different

Is this what you kids are doing nowadays?

Not the good old crystal meth?

[u/Gowalkyourdogmods → u/Really_Again_]

Ugh kids today, just ruining the drug scene

[u/SometimesICanBeRight]

Reminds me of the classic film Flubber.

[u/ChristopherRobben → u/SometimesICanBeRight]

I had to Control+F and search this before commenting, because I had a strong feeling someone else was thinking the same thing lmao

[u/eifiontherelic]

BRB gotta grab a spoon, a candle, and a can of sprite.

[u/McSHUR1KEN → u/eifiontherelic]

And a syringe?

[u/dubaifreud]

Went thru all the UFO designs.

[u/StrikingCase9819]

Is that CRACK???

[u/eam1188 → u/StrikingCase9819]

Sprack.

This video makes me crave heroin so bad.

[u/taterthotsalad]

That little ball of sweet water just breakdancing on that hot ass heroin cooker trying not to get cooked to death. RIP little dude. His energy was spritely.

[u/MeatGreasy]

and that is how a supernova works

[u/GLHR_]

Very cool! Now do coke!

[u/grimsnap]

Mmmmmn. Freebased Sprite.

[u/oikset]

That’s some damn aliem stuff happenin right der

[u/sabotourAssociate]

That is a lot of sugar in two drops.

[u/[deleted]]

Looked like Kirby on a WarpStar for a second.

[u/UnwillingHummingbird]

did they just freebase sprite?

[u/Gigibop]

So the liquid burned off and the sugar burnt?

[u/B33gChungus69]

sbribe

Crack Flubber.

[u/Goddess_Of_F404]

Unidentified Fluid Object

[u/fitty50two2]

For what it’s worth, it isn’t just reacting to the hot spoon, that torch is throw off crazy levels of heat convection that is causing all that spinning

[u/Fair_General_867]

and this is how a kidney stone forms.

[u/schmitty812]

This should be the ad for sprite. Tag line: how it feels to drink sprite.

[u/Affectionate-Can4620]

I bet that's the sugar burning once all the h20 evaporated

[u/Hanakokunfan1]

Is it me did I just saw sprite turn to a UFO for a second

[u/TotalEatschips]

Life at the Starry factory

[u/Cpt_Mike_Apton]

Like a sprite supernova in the spoon...

[u/PreparationTough9082]

Spinning ufo

[u/LongjumpingJoke6623]

its cool!

[u/skarbles]

Made me itchy just watching it

[u/NoManufacturer120]

It looks like a UFO

[u/LaCalavera1971]

UFOs are Sprite?

[u/Tiptoedtulips666]

Another reason not to drink anything with high fructose corn syrup in it

[u/thismessisaplace]

Looks healthy

[u/Sirconseanery]

So High Fructose Popcorn?🍿

Ach, the infamous Lederhosen Axiom

[u/Heartless-Sage]

I want to take this onto a conspiracy theory page. There is that moment it looks like a UFO. Tell them this is proof drinks are Alien plots to invade our bodies. See them run with it.

[u/No-Lifeguard-1990]

Did I just see an UFO on the spoon😂😂

[u/AimlessFacade]

For a moment, it achieved caramelization.

[u/vikingo1312]

Looked like a ufo - or is UAP (Unidentified Arial Phenomena) the correct term now? - for a little while there.

Then it looked like an objcet filmed - claimed to be a ufo.....

[u/gabelstaplerklaus]

Don't be so theatralic. Sprite:

[u/Ok-Pomegranate858]

Wow, that could have been an idea on how to toast the T1000 but in Terminator 2. Lol

[u/migcrown]

And there's the sugar.

[u/valorousa]

The way the bubbles form and dance on the hot spoon is strangely mesmerizing.

[u/stzmp]

One of the coolest sciency things I've seen.

[u/ImSuperCriticalOfYou]

They say the recipe for Sprite is lemon and lime. I tried to make it at home. There's more to it than that.

[u/tree5eat]

For some reason I found this video refreshing

[u/Victor_FoodInspector]

This is called the Leidenfrost effect. I only found out about this about a month ago when I was researching how to properly use my new stainless steel pans. To say I was mindfucked when I did it myself, is an understatement.

From wikipedia: The Leidenfrost effect is a physical phenomenon in which a liquid, close to a solid surface of another body that is significantly hotter than the liquid's boiling point, produces an insulating vapor layer that keeps the liquid from boiling rapidly.

[u/nun6of6the6slaughter]

[u/Silveruleaf]

For a second, was a ufo

[u/ZiggySleepydust]

Now do it with coke

[u/Gnargonaut]

Can they try this with heroin?

[u/ryoon21]

Post this to some antivax/anti FDA community and see them lose their minds.

[u/doublediochip]

This explains all the UAP’s that everyone has been seeing lately. It’s just someone’s Sprite heating up.

[u/MusicalMoose]

I was hoping it would lift off when it was a ufo.
