Explosions&Fire2 - 2018-01-28
We try the chloride salts of all the alkali metals, and some alkaline earth metals in order to try and increase our salt portfolio. It goes better than expected.

Did the taste test do any damage to our bodies? No. Did my drinking on Australia do damage to my body? Almost certainly. I mean my motto about health is 'my body is a temple' but my other motto is 'what would Jesus do' and in the last episode of the Bible I saw, Jesus went into the temple and got really angry and flipped over the gambling tables and told all the traders to leave, so that's what i'm doing, but instead of gambling tables its white blood cells, instead of traders it is bone density and instead of holy anger its breakdown products like acetaldehyde and oxidative free radicals. I should write a diet book. Thanks so much to my Patreons! I had to basically buy all the salts in this video (and they'll be put to better use!) but that was made possible thanks to my Patreons.

Tried lithium chloride, "not too bad".
People with bipolar, "I know, right!"
Isint that why Kurt Cobain wrote a song about Lithium? lol
“Hey, can I have a French fry?”
Me “these are my antidepressants”
@_____ the active portion of Lithium Carbonate is the lithium. The other portion makes it a salt instead of a metal, so that the body absorbs it better. The second component doesn't matter, so long as it forms a salt that can be dissolved in water.
@Ethan Snider it should be nontoxic. Lithium fluoride no thank you
@Ethan Snider And you don't want lithium to scorch you as it reacts with water, and then form lithium hydroxide which will corrode you. Big oof for those who've ever had a piece of lithium in their mouth
KCl
Other uses:
- Lethal injections
- Healthy injections
@Albows drugs
Depends on the dose. Too much and too little K can kill ya
formula for toxicity = dose * duration * frequency
it doesn't only depends on dosage, but speed of administration. a relatively small dose injected in a vein will kill ou, bt in a few moments will disperse in the (freshly dead) body and be barely detectable, while the same dose, diluted in a Intravenous sugar solution and administered for an hour, won't make a difference.
Dialectic
This feels like old YouTube, and I love it.
Exactly why I clicked, I'm happy
This is a good take
@SnakPak Thats a swift pun if i have ever seen one
Yeah, same. Happy.
woah you're right
i can’t shake the feeling that this is exactly how cave men must’ve sat around figuring out what stuff is good to eat
Some of the die tasting things they shouldn't tho
I asked my chemistry tutor in college a long time ago if other salts besides from NaCl were tasty and she told me not to be daft and went on to warn the class not to just eat any salt.
Thank you for answering my question.
Next time ask a geologist and he'll tell you
🤤
Why does this discussion about salts sounds like we're talking about drugs
Especially, don't eat any lab reagent without knowing it is kept pure all the way from the supply to you! Lab utensils and reagents can get contaminated and there is no easy way to tell. Dying or getting sick is a horrible way to have an experiment foul up.
@Stray Orion because "bath salts" in that context do not mean Calgon
"Expensive waste of money" is wrong. It should be "expensive taste of money" :)
Well expensive waste of money is redundant so it certainly shouldn't be called that.
That's interesting...
Do you think 100$ bills taste better than 1$ bills?
Someone should do the test...
medexamtoolsdotcom It’s not... a waste of money can be more or less expensive depending on how much money we’re talking about, and something being expensive doesn’t mean it was a waste of money.
I want to leave a like but i don't want to ruin the 666 likes
Other uses: Lethal Injections
well alrighty then
ᴠᴧᴨᴛᴧᴃᴌᴧcᴋ yes but also healthy injections
@Aiden Hatfield Yup, it's super hard for the government to legally get access to poisons, so they just overdose you on potassium instead
Glad someone else saw this 😂😂
Stops your heart...
There is more actual science in this one video than there are on entire "Youtube Age Appropriate science channels"!
Please never change :)
@Carter Ferguson oh shit
so you can show how to make very carcinogenic substances, but dental Mercury is where they draw the line
I tasted potassium nitrate. Salty and succ
Nop
idk I've never had any issue with Scishow and journey into the microcosmos, nile red, applied science, or any of the other science channels. Also if you are looking for simple experiments like this you should check out tyler tube.
As a scaninavian I can explain the ammonium chloride. In sweden its commonly reffered to as salmiak and is used in salty licorice. Famous licorice like salmiakki (finland) and djungelvrål
Can I have his citizenship then? I have 3 kinds of salmiakki atm, plus a little bottle of salmiakki koskenkorva :D
@Lucho-Core Why must I perish this way?
@Tunkkis Off you go to åland then; there is no room for salmiak-deniers in sweden!
@Sander Cohen Hey, hey, hey, what're you trying to deport me for? I called the other guy out.
Tunkkis I thought we had an understanding. Then you proceeded to out us as the lesser salmiak addicts, tsk tsk
it simply wont do
Uses: Non-surgical castration
People: alrighty lets eaty the thingy
Sheld Owned non surgical?
@ettanasf yep
got it the other way around lolol
Rubidium is extemely useful for atom optics. It's energy level structure makes it ideal for cooling and trapping. The first Bose-Einstein condensate was made of Rb.
@Reth Tard I mean, Mr.BigBang sure wasted some energy creating me sooooooooo....
@Dead_Pool
Good point...
:P
@Dead_Pool the big bang didn't create anything... let alone something as intricate as you and I.
fucking rubidium apologist
put molten rubidium in a sealed target, irradiate with proton beam, harvest 82Sr from the resulting jambalaya, put 82Sr in a "generator" (fancy schmancy tin oxide column shielded with lead), generator produces 82Rb - which is SUPER useful for imaging of blocked cardiac arteries / cardiac death. So...useful, but not as RbCl
Mix that ammonium chloride with some sugar and you got delicious candy
-best from Scandinavia :)

Best regards, Finland.
"an after-taste of deepthroating a coal mine" :D OMG! I had to laugh out loudly! Still have tears in my eyes. Who invents this?
Crazy Australian
Yeah tbh I don't know why we use deepthroating to describe things as much as we do....
How do you even deepthroat a coal mine though? It's literally a tunnel, not a protrusion. The only thing you could do with a coal mine is give it cunnilingus with a giant tongue.
Medexam must be fun at parties
First misread it as coalminer and it made sense... sort of
uses: non-surgical castration
dinner party: munch
Nobody:
Literally nobody:
Some Australians: "Hey, lets eat all the alkali metals"
I really appreciated that they kept the video uncomplicated... Quite basic really
Omg my dumbass thought they were British
Francium?
@Joe Folsom their ancestors were naughty brits
Stfu
Francium Chloride is reserved only for the wealthy and elite upper class.
I like to believe this get-together is kind of how it went down when early humans were figuring out what is and isn't edible
What about francium chloride you lied it was not all the alkali melts
francium decays too fast
@Edwin Chamorro Would decay still be a factor if one were to promptly chemically merge francium with sodium?
@Zel Pozharruchyei in theory, FrCl could exist, but like all alkali metals, it would be extremely reactive to water. even if you were to create FrCl, it would be very short lived because francium at it's most stable isotope would have a half life of about 20 minutes. also, francium is extremely rare so it would be nigh impossible to make a decent amount of FrCl to sprinkle on fries.
@HaydenX Francium Astatide: 'I dont want to exist and I'm taking you with me!'
@HaydenX You deserve roentgenium medal for that idea :D
Man, I thought it said PbCl on the thumbnail but still very interesting video
@Mackenzie Mcgrath Still better not to eat lead compounds, though.
@Darell Roasa "cum on man"
Idk man, seems kinda gay to me.
@Marcel Chb so ı will be the one asking you; how do you know?
@prohri uhri Cause I tried it. It's not like eating a few tiny crystals will harm you in any way. Just don't overdo it.
@Marcel Chb nice
You should also have the Halogen changed.
Try:
Sodium Fluoride.(safe in VERY small quantities - it is used in dentistry - a one off taste test OK in tiny amounts)
Sodium Bromide (safe in small quantities - ok to taste)
Potassium Bromide(safe in small quantities - ok to taste, was used as a medicine foe seizures and headaches/sedative - small amounts ok, chronic use = toxic)
Potassium Iodide (used as tabs after nuclear fallout - one off taste test ok, not good idea to consume repeated amounts - too much iodine, might be slightly irritating)
Sodium Iodide - safer than potassium iodide, OK to taste. Used for iodine supplements.
The no no's.
Potassium Fluoride (dangerous and corrosive - so not a bright idea)
Caesium fluoride after eating a lemon (in alkali environment might be moderately ok) - in acidic conditions, well, lets just say hydrofloric acid isnt going to be pleasant.
Lithium Fluoride - it will be a very bad day in the office for the orifice.
....basically, fluorides are not so good for the health.
There is actually interesting chemistry here - why some taste salty and others dont.
Sodium channel action potentials are required to send signals to the brain for a "salt taste", some ions will mimic the sodium ion channels, others dont.
Lithium is small, and can mimic the sodium - but obviously not a good substitute due to chronic toxicity (causes serious changes to the brain, why used in bipolar disorders)
Potassium is larger, and doesnt mimic sodium, in fact, quite the opposite, has competition with sodium ion channels (cell membrane K+/Na+ pump)
Caecium and Rubidium dont fit and poorly mimic any ion channels, body doesnt have the proper equipment to "taste" it. (hence the weird ambigious tastes)
As for Halogens - thats interesting because Chloride ions also affect taste. Wonder if the Bromide taste similar - trying Sodium Bromide.
Fluorides have a serious problem, if it suddenly tastes super sour, then burning - you know something went wrong (hydroflouric acid could be produced in some cases)
@Cooper Gates cream of Tartar.
@The Major pKa, I think.
@Louw Claassens Yep.
They should try potassium acetate for the "sea salt" flavor and see if the aftertaste is bad like for KCl.
@altejoh They said CaCl2 was one of the worst tasting, though
50mg lethal dose isn't "safe in small quantities" asshole.
"non surgical castration" none of your friends can have kids now
That just completely ruined the gene pool
Should have used cesium-137 chloride, unsubbed.
It has been used here in Brasil some time ago
No arsenic chloride??? Dislike.
Why no plutonium chloride? It made a Delorean go back in time, so it must be able to reverse the aging process!
Francium Cloride
@Zachary Handy that stuff is just straight dangerous
Calcium chloride actually evolves a fair bit of heat when dissolved in water, so the burning sensation is accurate...
Meanwhile in Nordic schools: Hey kids, today we will be making ammonium chloride and eat it!
We did this once :D I liked it
That's why they call it sodi-yum.
Godfrey Poon MmM yummy corrosive and explosive sodium in my tummy!
Damn, I was really hoping this would be the thing Rubidium needed...
Just like most amazing food discoveries, rubidium should have been discovered by people eating things without caution. Too bad it sucks, and causes mania.
The most scientific-like a non-science experiment can get. Someone had to do it, thanks M8.
eating chips with forks and knives..... questionable judgement
eating "very low toxicity" salts... A+ Judgement
I wonder if one of the hydrates of CaCl would have tasted better? I'm guessing if you were using desiccant grade CaCl, most of the "pain" taste was from its desiccant action on the tongue.
CaCl2
If they were putting anhydrous calcium chloride in their mouths they're actually stupid lmao
Rubidium salts can give you hypomania/mania. Basically opposite of lithium salts.
so thats why they were all fine! they cancelled out
but I already have it, so no effect on me
@Luiz Felipe So lithium for you
Cool.
"I would say that these are... Salty?" - on fries with table salt
The best tasting salt is mercuric cyanide. It's to die for. MMMmmmm, almondy, but with a dash of fire. Go ahead, prove me wrong.
Chemistry teachers HATE him!
Find out how this man did the impossible and lived to tell the tale!
amonium chloride
aka salmiac
best tasting snack in the world
also its in all the liqurich here in holland
good engrlish you have
@Aarni Järveläinen I am sorry but I am not gonna correct it, for english is my second language
@Aarni Järveläinen we gaan je K O L O N I S E R E N wiki de viking
Ah yes good old pOTASSIUM CHLORIDE, my favorite sodium free salt and execution method
Ammonium chloride on liquorice is amazing! (Yes I'm scandinavian :)
I wouldn't mind replacing my salt with the lithium variant. But I'm bipolar so of course I would 🤔
You guys are all grown up now. Bunch of responsible adults. RIP your youth.
Isn't that the definition of being an adult though? Being able to decide what you want in your mouth...
Mark Tan nah, the definition of being an adult is not being a child
Elias Kristmansson judging by the people I work with, that is a lie.
RIP in general
Such insight
Bless Australian salt parties
Cesium! The only element with a "Puple-grey" flame color!
Please don't change that, I love it
Explosions&Fire2 It's really not all that noticable, don't worry about it
Rhodanide gonna delet the whole channel now
Explosions&Fire2 now you've done it
that’s why my stools is purple-grey.
Rhodanide Chernobyl approved!
A common way of causing instant death is injecting potassium chloride.
What happened to that explosive plant?
Explosions&Fire2 ahhhh
Explosions&Fire2 hahahah I wad actually wondering when we would see the video on it, didn't know it was in the shot lol
science_and_anonymous oh I thought you spotted the Easter egg.
Well, I did it all and nothing exploded, so I have to think about why that is and what I can do about it I guess
Explosions&Fire2 hahahah yeah, maybe when the leaves grow again you can try a different solvent for extraction and just see how everything works out
Epazote? I have grown some of that, I just havn't done anything with it.
ammonium chloride = salmiak = a big like from this Dutchie
But yeah, don't eat it with chips, It's used for some sweets
Lol eats lithium... “not bad”😂🤣
Most level commentary after eating bipolar medicine😂
“Tastes like disappointment.” totally cracked me up.
NaF is the best salt
Fluorine is the most powerful oxidizer because it can say the F-word
I like a spice of cynide in my dirty body
NaH
@Oit Thegroit go to dentist for NaF
@Aidan Hansen I'm asking what the pure compound, not the stuff at the dentist's that's filled with flavoring, tastes like.
Scandinavia has good taste dont @ us
The fun of Djungelvrål is the kick in the face of the super-soluble ammonium chloride that fades quickly into a mild sweet licorice.
The name literally means "jungle shout" probably for the reason of the kick in the face. It's very fun giving to people and then watching their reaction 0.2 seconds after they put one in their mouth.
Yeah, it really is a good complement to the licorice. I like the ones like you describe: brisk and punchy at first and then savory and sweet. Pretty much everyone i know hates all forms of salmiakki, but that's okay if it means more for me.
That said, some of the brown hard ones seem to be more salt than licorice and are just foul crumbly things with the great aenesthetising taste of ammonia and dirt. Giving those to unsuspecting people is just about as cruel as sharing rancid bacon mints.
I love the salt-monkeys aswell ❤️ Damn they are good.
Too bad i can only find them fresh rarely, only from like cruise ships and crusty candy aisles where they've been forgotten and dried up.
I gotta go look for some tomorrow.
I loved Finnish "salmiakki ruutu"
Just good old regular Salmiakki is quite nice too.. Or just head down over to Gang Wars City Malmö, Sweden, to buy the best Licorice that mankind can find.
Eric true, but i like hockey powder even better
Ive always wondered about this, so thanks for being the guinea pigs lol. Pretty good video and cool idea, please do more in the future. Subscribed!
I was waiting for the grim reaper to show up to their little dinner party.
