I love you Nile.
Chemistry is crazy
Average day for Nigel
You got me thinking of nile green
Very helpful tear ga… I mean cherry flavor recipe.
I'm gonna make cherry soda
attempt 1 fails
I'm going to make cherry soda with an internationally banned liquid

"Potentially violating the The Geneva Protocol to create cherry soda" Haha I love these videos man.
i like how "horrible tasting" came before "toxic", his priorities are in the right place
I like how "horrible tasting" and "toxic" also applies to cherry soda in the first place!
It’s like how they have to add bad tastes to certain medical substances cause if they didn’t people would drink them for their intoxicating effects. If it taste yummy humans would probably drink it
@@Roger__Wilco I think the joke was that he said paint thinner instead of soda

That relatable moment when you're trying to turn pain thinner into an artificial cherry flavor but you accidently make tear gas instead. We've all been there.

It's genuinely terrifying how close paint thinner, cherry flavor, and tear gas can be chemically
I mean truthfully everything in existence in relativity is close to being the same thing. The atomic structure of 78 protons gives you platinum. Add one more and now it's suddenly friggin gold. Suppose gold is "terrifyingly close" to platinum then right? Everything is just one proton, atom, or chemical link away from being somethjng completely different. The anatomy of our universe is really weird.
And it's amazing how our body has the mechanisms to tell us two of those are definitely bad and the other is perfectly fine when diluted. Evolution is amazing.
@@alterapp8880 I think I main takeaway is how easily an one thing be turned into another.
Platinum and gold are not that different, but it is not easy to transmute them.
@@wuguxiandi9413 It's not easy, but it can be done. We've done transmutation before, even into gold, but it's just not worth the cost.
Eh, that’s how matter works. Everything is “almost something else.”
Nile is the kinda guy to carefully make sure not to accidentally create an explosive and then be disapointed that the product didnt actually turn out to be explosive
Is it such a crime to want a little explosive? As a treat??
@@nahometesfay1112 on a plane it is. 👁️ 👄 👁️

I was watching a podcast a while ago where he talks about his history with explosives.. very interesting, to say the least. I'll link it if you haven't seen it yet and are interested :)
@@HazedIdiot C'mon a little bit of hydrogen never hurt anybody
the smile he had when he realized he was done and had just taken toxic and cancer causing chemicals and turned it into soda was just like a mad scientist, and is one of the reasons chemistry is so cool.
Not even the first to do it smh. Vault had carcinogens in their Red Blitz flavor apparently
Seriously though, it's always awesome watching him do stuff like this
@QuintanaCS o.o i drank that as a child. Oh shit
not just toxic and carcinogenic, but flammable, corrosive, caustic, and explosive. he used CHROMYL FUCKING CHLORIDE to make CHERRY SODA.

Chemistry is so hilariously polar sometimes. It's just so crazy that cherry flavour and world war 1 tear gas can both be synthesized from toluene.
ha polar. like chemistry.
Not to mention trinitrotoluene (TNT) is very chemically similar, too.
@@pineapplequeen13 To be fair, you can add nitrogen to most things, and it makes those things want to blow up. It's rocket science.
@@Bennici Rocket science is easy, it's those rocket surgeons you gotta watch out for.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around paint thinner + blood red cancer juice + ozone hole puncher = yummy cherries.
Like, what the hell?
Big fan of how he points out how horrible tasting paint thinner is before mentioning that it's also toxic.
The one thing I know about paint thinner is that that shit tastes horrible!
@ethanshoemaker5582hell nah it smells like stinky bug
That made me laugh out loud🤣
Love reading SDS for super dangerous chemicals and then getting to the bottom and it says like “unagreeable taste” or some shit from a crazy scientist in the past 😂
Hi😊😊@@abbydabbs5519
If the 5 stages of grief were chemicals, I think he went through them all:
- Paint thinner
- Chromyl Chloride
- Tear gas
- An ozone depleter
- Cherry flavor
Or also:
- The orange
- The peach
- The apple
- The pear
gas gas gas!
Last one agent XYTOSXVOLINE
But But But Paint thinner is an ozone depleter
I burst out laughing when he confirmed it was a ww1 chemical used as tear gas. I vaguely remember hearing that Benzyl Chloride in that context, but damn.
Imagine getting tear gassed by a botched cherry flavouring
41:14 - "I could 100% serve this to people and they would have no idea that it was made from paint thinner" - NileRed coming up to me to offer anything to eat, drink or smell and I'm running for the hills!
“Never eat anything that comes from the lab”
Soap fries, strawberry DNA, aspirin mints, synthetic glove grape soda, literal piss crystals, paint thinner soda. The list is just getting bigger.

@@justinliu7788 toilet paper alcohol

Cyanide? Nile likes to sniff it.
Wait until you find out about nileblue
Awesome how paint thinner, cancer vapor juice and ozone depletor juice combined to make either tear gas or cherry flavor, depending on the mood of the chemicals apparently.
CHEMISTRY!!
carbon tet is cancer juice too
The mood of the chemicals! 😂 I couldn't have said it better myself!

Next time, on Nile Red: "Making crystal meth out of pig feces and composted tangerines!"
@@stephencaudle1766 that's definitely nile green
I'm surprised he has any sense of smell left. Anytime he takes a whiff of something and says it faintly smells of something, I'm sure any normal person would be fainting.
iirc He hardly reacted to the stuff from previous video, which stunk up everything for a mile.

@@Flesh_Wizard ohh, Br Bad reference
I can't explain how strange it is having studied chemistry, but never really doing anything with it for 10 years and then you mention carbon tetrachloride and my brain triggered alarms just from hearing it. I'm glad you finally made synthetic cherry flavour.
I feel ya. Studied chem, but I rarely actually use anything I learned. The second a NileRed video plays, everything I learned comes rushing back and all those lessons play in my head like a slideshow.
>carbon tetrachloride
I lost my shit there
Maybe you guys should make videos like Nile turning random things into other random things.

@@bulletthecorgi3245 Pulled out a banned/illegal substance like he does 70% of the time
@@thomascoleman594 what other banned substances has he used
the fact that nile truly believed he had done everything perfectly, and it was only after he took a whiff that he realized he made tear gas instead of cherry flavour is exactly the reason why id be terrified of doing anything like this even if i knew it was theoretically safe.
"Theoretically safe" is also a very relative term because the theory your work is based on might be more or less reliable as the papers in the end were still written by humans. Also, you thinking you did everything correctly doesn't mean you actually did. So "theoretically safe" assumes a perfect theory and practice without any mistakes, in which case it would indeed be completely safe. That's why you double and triple check absolutely everything if you're doing something potentially harmful or dangerous. Even if you get the reaction right, just a little bit of side product that didn't get washed out can seriously harm you, depending on what it is.
But hey, that's why papers are published and why science has to be reproducible. The community can check your process and everything and correct any mistakes. The more brains there are that think about your ideas and practices, the closer we get from "theoretically safe" to "actually safe."
Yes that's why I love chemistry especially organic chemistry. Because you can do everything in the paper you're supposed to do and do it as precisely as possible and yet you can get something absolutely different. Man I love chemistry
@@Nitidus I study chemistry, just so my words have some merit here.
The HNMR, basically makes any impurities show up right away, since its super sensitive equipment (and also really fucking expensive), so after the HNMR graph looked good, (which it did, like literally textbook perfect), there was basically no risk at that point, and is just as safe as the stuff you buy in stores.
That’s exactly why I really want to do it. I’m just scared of having problems and not knowing how to fix them :(
@ihaveboneitis8259 When i was TA'ing during my PhD I had to write weekly quizzes for my students. I would just take a similar procedure to what I was teaching and minorly screw them up, bad math, wrong amount, wrong order, wrong solvent, wrong technique, etc. The students had the entire 4 hour lab class to collectively try to figure out where the mistakes were made. But they were also physically doing related but not identical procedures at the same time. It taught multitasking, attention to detail, teamwork, and problem solving. And most importantly, just because someone wrote it down doesn't mean it's right.
And it was super easy to grade for me since I didnt have to write new quizzes every other night. Just ctrl+c, backspace, and screw it all up
You can trust Nile to make drinkable soda with highly toxic chemicals, but can't trust him to make a simple chocolate chip cookie with near pure ingredients. 😂😂😂
that's sooo funny, lol!
Including literally banned chemicals he just so happens to have hanging around.
He's truly become a mad scientist and we're all here for it.
@@tomasgoes definitely the mad scientist we needed😂
lol
Hey, those nearly pure ingredients were expired. He tried his best. But yeah it was bad.
Every time you make a flavor from a probably toxic chemical you just add an OH thing and like thats it. It’s crazy how giving it a hat makes it epic.
Other influencers: don’t eat fruit roll ups they use GMO sugars and red 40
NileRed: I made paint thinner soda
Real
Gotta love charlatans
Tbf, he knows practically every chemical that he had in that stuff
@@Dangermad Yeah but it's still ironic considering the hubub about those yellow dyes was because they were derived from benzene. Stuff that is reacted professionally vs a backyard chemist making cherry flavor from some really nasty stuff.
paint thinner is totally not GMO and totally organic and gluten free
This man is one of the scariest people on the platform. I feel like if you decided to mess with him, he’d drop you in a beaker with a stir bar and turn you into rock candy.
Or completely emulsify you with some kinda acid, distill you, and do it again til you're nothing but a small oily puddle he makes into some kinda confection and eats you.

🤔
The fact that he tried making cherry soda and instead ended up with a war crime is so in character of him
That silly goose nile always committing war crimes 😊
It wasn’t the tasty, cherry flavor he was hoping for 😢
Maybe they made the same accident, back when they invented this war crime. It just turned out not to be flavour, but something with another use...
Only time will tell
Very reminiscent of the time he made an atomic bomb (NileGreen)
Nile has taught me way more about chemisty that my high school teacher ever did.
Nile: Anxious about exploding
Also Nile: Sad about no cool explosions
Nile red: Anxious about exploding
Nile blue: Sad about no cool explosions
The duality of man
Again ... Our "chef" is on the loose!
In fact, Nile is making me hungry right now, not only for explosions, hehehe:)
He is anxious about explosions I am more anxious about the toxic fumes he's working with and fact he directly smelled a chemical weapon.
Usually to check chemical smells you wave some fumes over to you and not directly sniff.
It’s a secondary explosive meaning it requires pressure and heat to go off
Primary explosives go off with either pressure or heat. Common primary explosives are blasting caps
Common secondary explosives are like c4

i'd like to see you come close to him in terms of skill, compassion, intelligence, etc, but i fear i'm hoping for the impossible 🤣
I love that he mentions paint thinner "tasting terrible" as the main point, and then just kinda throws in the fact that its extremely toxic as sort of an afterthought
Toluene is not that toxic after all. It mainly serves as a substitute for benzene in many products which is really toxic.
When I was younger I used to eat copius amounts of the paint thinner my mom used before she found out.

I was expecting him to say "until (negative outcome)" whenever he explains what is happening
"Up until now, things had been going very well"
"I was really hoping..."

i guess that might be a good mindset to have when working with potentially dangerous chemicals. and one you might get with enough failed experiments
