00:00I'm sick and tired of coming across clickbait shorts, like that you can create a sonic boom

00:03using only paper, or that you can explode a boiled egg just by cutting into it, or even that there's

00:08a hidden code underneath ramen noodles. And so, given that I'm a skeptic, I figured I'd test out

00:1220 different insane clickbait shorts I came across to see if they actually work. And each of them

00:16gets crazier and crazier, and I can't believe that I'm even testing some of these, but believe me,

00:20there are a lot of surprises, so let's get into it. Here we have extreme paper poppers. So we're

00:24going to pop paper, so this is the configuration you do. This looks like you can create a cylinder,

00:28glue it together. All right, then we're going to take that side, clamp it. Okay, we're going to put

00:35that in the other direction, and then... Hmm. Does that make sense? Can you create a paper bomb with

00:43that sound effect? Probably not. I think it was an edited sound. I mean, I believe in the logic,

00:47right? Because it's like, where's the sound going to escape from? It's completely glued,

00:51but there's no way it makes that loud of a noise. All right, only one way to find out. This

00:54is a nice

00:54and simple one, but apparently you can make a really loud popping sound, like an explosion almost,

00:59with just a piece of paper and a glue stick. And all it takes is a couple of folds to

01:02get the

01:02ultimate shape to achieve it. So we're going to start by making like a little cylinder. I'm going

01:06to put some glue around here, and on one side, we're going to press it down like this, nice and

01:11tight. And on the other side, this is where the magic happens. We're going to do it this way,

01:15create this 90 degree angle. Now, apparently when I smash down on this, it's going to make a huge

01:20popping noise. So let's see what happens. Three, two, one. Pretty loud. I'm trying it once more,

01:31so I did a slightly different configuration this time, but let me try the same thing again. Three,

01:35two, one. That was so loud. Wait, that was insane. Okay. So attempt number two actually did yield like

01:46an explosion sound. That was probably like a hundred decibels right there. That actually shocked me. I

01:50wasn't expecting it because of that first attempt, but the second attempt definitely worked. So that

01:54short is absolutely not clickbait. You can make a little paper bomb if you'd like. All right,

01:57brother, what do we have for me here? So we have anti-gravity beads and he's loading them up into

02:01a glass. And then what? What's the claim here? I saw a cut. I don't believe it. I saw a

02:09cut. I don't

02:09believe it. I'm sorry, sir, but I think you're lying to me and clickbaiting me. I just don't get it.

02:14How does that work? There's no gravity. I guess there are anti-gravity beads, but how do you even create

02:18that? Does bro just have anti-matter on his hand? Isn't that stuff like a trillion dollars for an

02:21ounce? All right, let's go ahead and purchase these and we'll give them a try. So I bought the

02:24anti-gravity beads that are actually just normal beads and it's about 40 feet worth of beads. And

02:29apparently it's going to be anti-gravity just from like pulling it out and having it fall. So you're

02:34going to see that whole effect that we saw in that video. Hopefully. We don't know because it could

02:37potentially be clickbait. Let's find out right now. I hope this works. This would be fun. Okay,

02:40here we go. Oh, it's getting some height. Look at that. It kind of worked. Take two. I'm going to

02:49try to go even higher. Oh, look at that. It actually did the thing. So that is not clickbait. It

02:59is just

02:59pure physics at play. So that short was absolutely true. And that was a cool one. Very fun. And it's

03:03just normal beads as well. So I've exploded a lot of eggs at this point. And in this case,

03:07we have cutting into a microwaved hard-boiled egg. Now I've microwaved a hard-boiled egg in

03:12shell and it explodes. But I guess if you microwave a hard-boiled egg out of the shell,

03:16this happens. No way. No way. Look, I am a popping egg connoisseur. I know everything there is about

03:23popping eggs. I feel like I would have come across that at some point. This is the first time I'm

03:27seeing this. I don't know if it's clickbait though. I mean, I kind of believe her, right? It

03:30looked pretty legit. All right, let's go ahead and explode an egg, I guess. Kind of looks dangerous too.

03:34Need some distance when you do that. So I actually previously blew up a hard-boiled

03:37egg inside of a microwave, but it had the shell on. And in this instance, we actually have the

03:41shell off. So it's just a normal hard-boiled egg unpeeled. And apparently if you put in the microwave

03:45for about 20 to 30 seconds and then take it out and slice it, a massive explosion happens as a

03:49result of all the pressure that builds up on the inside. At least that's what the claim is. So let's

03:53go ahead and try this out. I have the Katana here as well. I'm going to take some precautions with

03:56some

03:56safety glasses too. And we'll get going and hopefully this works. Hey, here we go. We're going to put this

04:00in for 30 seconds. All right, here we go. I'm excited. I hope it doesn't explode inside the

04:05microwave. It said around 30 seconds or so. And let's do this. Here we go.

04:14That was the weakest explosion I've ever seen. It technically did, but it was incredibly weak.

04:18All right, let's try it again. This time for 45 seconds. But now we know it's possible. This

04:21thing could definitely burst. Just got to give it some time. So we did 30. Oh no. That's exactly what

04:26I wanted to avoid. No. Okay. Take three. Trying it again. This time I'm putting a little glass

04:30container over the egg. So then it doesn't explode. Apparently that's a good help. Okay. Should be

04:35good. Now we're going to try this. Please break. Please break. Oh. It actually works. Yes. We finally

04:47got it. So it is not clickbait. The egg will in fact explode if you put it in the microwave

04:50for the

04:51right amount of time and then cut into it. So be careful. Do not microwave your hard boiled eggs

04:54because either it's going to explode in your microwave or it's going to explode as soon as

04:57you cut into it. A little PSA right there. This is a squishy monkey and I think it's about to

05:02be

05:02yeeted off the roof. So almost certainly going to break, right? Rest in peace to that monkey. That's

05:07like 20 stories. All right. So he's completely fine. Really? And he just pancakes like that. I mean,

05:15I could see him surviving. I just don't think he's fully indestructible. I feel like there's a way to

05:19break this, right? I don't think this exact demonstration is clickbait. Like I believe that this

05:23happened, but I don't believe it's fully indestructible. So let's go ahead and test the

05:26limits of this thing. So I bought the stretch monkey that we saw who's apparently indestructible.

05:31I mean, he could take any sort of beating and he'll always snap right back into place. But I don't

05:35believe that. I feel like there's a way that we can actually break him. So I want to see whether

05:38or

05:39not this product lives up to the claims that it makes. So there's like some simple pulling.

05:43I mean, you're just not going to break it. Throw him monkey on monkey crime. I mean, he's good.

05:49He survives all that. Throw him on the ground and he's fine. Okay. A little bit of trauma right

05:58there, but he heals and he's good again. Let's try this. All right. Wait a second. We're starting

06:04to hurt him because he does have a little bruise, but then it heals and he's back to normal. So

06:08he

06:09heals. He does take damage. He just can't break. All right. The first test I'm going to do is the

06:13tungsten cube. And this thing is like meant to destroy literally anything. So I'm just going to put

06:17the weight of it on him. Let's see how he can handle this pressure to start. This thing is like

06:21the densest 40 pound material in the entire world. All right. Definitely flattened him a little bit,

06:28but he is good. Tungsten cube drop. Here we go. Three, two, one.

06:35I mean, his face is deformed. Oh, the tungsten cube did it. The tungsten cube actually broke him.

06:41Let me do it again. Three, two, one. Oh my gosh. Rest in peace. So it looks like all it

06:48takes to

06:49break this guy is a tungsten cube from about a six foot drop. We should be fair. I mean,

06:53they probably didn't expect that people would have a tungsten cube on hand in order to break him,

06:57but he is actually not indestructible. I didn't even get to the katana, but I'm also sure that this

07:01could probably easily break him. Well, he's already broke, but you could probably pierce through him.

07:08Yeah. All right. Well, unfortunately for them, their short is clickbait because all you need

07:12is a katana and a tungsten cube and you can destroy him. He's still fun to play with though,

07:16but he is just not as indestructible as they claim. Next we have super cool water. So let's see what

07:20this short has to say. Just regular water. And today, right off the bat, like, I don't think

07:24I've ever seen anything like that. I've actually heard of super cool water. I just don't know exactly

07:28what it does. If it's like a dry ice sort of thing or what. So it looks like you put

07:32water in the

07:32freezer for a bit and then when it's super cold, you pour it over ice and then I guess that

07:36happens.

07:36Okay. That's consistent. That's two videos that showed it. And let's see if this guy's able to

07:40also hammer it down so we can get that cool effect. Yep. There we go. I mean, I have no

07:45reason to

07:46believe this is clickbait. This guy actually tried it himself, but we're going to go ahead and see if

07:49this is true or not. At the very least, it'd be fun to do. I mean, I've always wanted to

07:52make some

07:52sort of like super cool water, do a little frozen water science experiment. So let's try it. See if

07:56it's clickbait. So let's see whether or not it's true. You could super cool water as that short showed.

08:00So I have three bottles of distilled water right here and I'm going to super cool them,

08:04which is like basically sub negative one degree Fahrenheit in the freezer. Right now it's at

08:09negative six and about two and a half hours. This water is going to have the ability to instantly

08:13freeze when I just hit it down and I could also pour it over ice and it creates like this

08:17instant

08:17ice sculpture. So I'm excited to try this. I have three water bottles in case I messed it up. Let's

08:21see what happens. It'll tune back in after I place these down. You have to be very careful with

08:24these because they can't move around at all. Otherwise they'll freeze instantly. Okay. So we'll check

08:30back in in about two and a half hours. Okay. I'm going to check on the water because it's been

08:34about two and a half hours. So let's see if it's truly super cooled. And then if it is,

08:37we'll pour it over the ice and we can make a cool little thing. I don't want it to move.

08:40It's very

08:41delicate. Okay. I think that Fiji bottle might be super cold. Doesn't look frozen right now.

08:48Let's get some ice now. Okay. So here's our ice starting with the Fiji. Let's see if it's

08:53super cooled. Let's check it out. Oh my gosh, it actually works. It is actually working. Look at

09:01this. This is super cooled water on ice. Wow. It's like a slushie. All right. So that is really cool.

09:09That one does work and you can probably do some other cool things as well. So if I hit it

09:12on the

09:12bottom, the entire thing is going to freeze or not. Maybe I just keep making ice. Oh, now it's

09:23frozen. See the entire thing turned to ice now. That one absolutely works. It's definitely a cool

09:27one. I mean, look at that. That's yummy. All right. What do we have here? Gummy bear versus

09:31waffle maker. Oh, here's the clickbait music. Okay. So it just completely decimates the gummy bears

09:37and makes his cool hair. All right. I mean, I'm down to try that. Sounds fun, right? Let's get a

09:41waffle press and some gummy bears and make some gummy hair. Hopefully. Otherwise, clickbait. We're

09:45going to see if that short was true. If you can actually make gummy bear hair by putting it into

09:49a waffle maker. So I have some Haribo gummy bears right here. I'm just going to put a bunch of

09:53them

09:53in here and then cook them up as if I'm making a waffle or a pancake. It feels like it's

09:57going to

09:57start a fire or something, but let's put this down. So there we have it. I'm going to wait about

10:01two

10:01minutes or so. And we're going to see if we created gummy bear hair, just like that short showed us.

10:05Okay. It's starting to smoke now. So I'm going to turn this off and let's take a look.

10:11Oh, that's disgusting. So that is some rainbow nonsense, but I do see some of the hair. It's

10:16probably super hot. Let me try to get even more strands, but we're definitely going to have to

10:19wait like at least two minutes for this gummy to just like cool down. It's literally boiling. Like

10:23we have some fallen soldiers here boiling in the waffle maker. So we're going to let this kind of

10:28chill out a little bit and then I'll show you if we create any hair. A few moments later.

10:33Oh, oh, that is disgusting. But there's that hair right there. Oh my gosh. This is what's hanging

10:39off the side. Look at that. It's already hardened a bit. And let's try to take some of these hairs

10:43without breaking them. Okay. We do have the hair of gummy bears in my hand right here. So I guess

10:48it did kind of work, but now there's only one more thing left to do.

10:55Tastes like a gummy bear. It's actually really good. All right. So this wasn't clickbait. I mean,

10:58it wasn't really a far stretch to believe something like this, but it is absolutely disgusting the

11:02aftermath. And also all the color went away now that I'm looking at it. It's literally like

11:05venom, but pretty cool one overall. I don't recommend trying because you're probably going to burn your

11:08house down. But you do know that it does work if you do want to put your gummy bears in

11:11a waffle

11:11press for any reason. Okay. So this claims that you can create desert slime and I see he's about

11:16to pour glue onto sand. So I wonder if that's that simple and we can create slime. Okay. Bro's literally

11:22in the middle of the desert too. Where do you get this access? Okay. Makes sense to me so far.

11:30So it's basically Elmer's glue, something else, and then some sand. All right. No way.

11:38No way. I'm calling cap there. I think this is a bit too much. If it had been like slightly

11:43less

11:44slimy, I would believe it, but that almost looks like a totally different thing. So let's combine

11:47glue and sand and see if we can create the slime like he did. So is it true that sand

11:51mixed with

11:52Elmer's glue actually forms slime like we just saw in that video? So I have some Elmer's glue right

11:56here and then I have a bag of sand. You'll see I dumped maybe like five pounds worth of sand

12:00and I'm

12:00going to mix in a bunch of glue. Glue is actually the main ingredient in slime. So I could kind

12:04of see

12:05this working. If it does, that would be sick because you can make slime at home or I guess

12:08at the beach because where else do you get sand? Let's start mixing in a little bit. I don't want

12:11to reveal until we get all three in. I hope I don't look like a fool here and it doesn't

12:15make slime.

12:15I'm actually very excited. Come on. Please work. Please work. Moment of truth. Let's mix it all

12:19together. Come on. Please. Come on. Something. Wait. Wait a second. Wait a second.

12:26Okay. Well, it doesn't look like slime. It's just gluey sand. At least it smells kind of good,

12:32but this is not the arts and crafts project that I thought it was going to be based on

12:36that short. So unfortunately that short was clickbait. They probably just swapped it out

12:39with actual slime, but glue and sand, as you see, does not create slime and I just wasted a whole

12:44bunch of time and a whole bunch of money buying sand and glue for absolutely nothing. So don't do

12:48this. It doesn't work. Huge letdown, but it tastes good. All right. What do we have here?

12:53Every time you receive income, you divide it into six categories. You know what? I remember when I was

12:57young, I had no idea how to manage money and it all felt so boring to me. I mean,

13:01that's what I love about cash app teen accounts. The cash app card is a customized card that you

13:04can personalize to match your personality. So here's mine. For example, I got some Y's and T's

13:09on there for YouTube because I'm a YouTuber and I don't think anybody else has this design. So I

13:13like it. But I mean, when the card matches your vibe, it just makes you want to actually open the

13:16app and manage your money. There's something just way more personalized about it and getting your

13:20first card is a big moment. And so getting one you can design to help you learn how to manage

13:23your

13:23money is definitely exciting, but it's not just cute and customized. It also has custom weekly

13:27cashback offers at select spots and even access to exclusive concert pre-sales. I also like how

13:31there's 24 seven fraud monitoring. And if your card has ever lost or stolen, there's an instant

13:35in-app card lock. There's no hidden fees or no minimum balance requirements to get started today.

13:40And if you're a teen, download cash app and get a parent or guardian to sponsor your account.

13:43New cash app customers can earn $10 if they use code cash10 at signup and send $5 to a friend

13:48within 14 days. And again, if you're 13 or 17 years old, you'll need to request a sponsored

13:52account from a parent or guardian when you sign up in order to earn your $10 bonus. Terms apply.

13:56The links in the description, but thanks again to cash app for sponsoring this video. And let's

13:59watch more shorts. Okay. I already know it's clickbait because what am I looking at? This

14:02is not a real person. Shout out poppy playtime in the background. It looks like this fake person has

14:07boba. What am I watching? Okay. This fake person is eating the boba. That might've been the dumbest

14:20video I've ever watched. I'm sorry to this creator if it's even a real person, but I will try what

14:25you

14:25claim though, which is that you could basically make a boba blaster from taking the boba balls

14:28and then just put them into a boba straw and then just spitting them out. So let's see if

14:33this works. So I have some boba right here. Then I have the boba straw here and we're going to

14:36see

14:36if we can do boba blasting like that short showed us. So I'm going to start by just getting a

14:40couple

14:41of these in my mouth, but I'm going to pierce this the boba way. There we go. Then I'm going

14:44to scoop

14:45up some of the boba into my mouth. This thing is crazy. Direct hit on the lens. Sorry guys. That

15:04absolutely works. And not only does it work, that's the coolest thing I've ever done. So I

15:07definitely recommend trying that. We'll clean off the lens for the next segment, but very cool.

15:11Not clickbait. Awesome. Here we have a five minute crafts video. So you know, it's about to

15:19be clickbait, but let's give it a fair shot. So some tinfoil into a garlic peeler and then nails

15:24come out. All right. Oh wait, double confirmation here. Somebody else trying it. And of course nails

15:29apparently come out. I don't know why I just don't believe this. I know this guy like double confirmed.

15:33He's like, yes, this is true, but look at that. That looks just to be like normal nails. Let's see

15:36if tinfoil can create it. That would be cool, honestly, but I have a feeling it's clickbait. So is it

15:40true? If you take aluminum foil and put it through a garlic presser, it's going to create aluminum

15:44spikes. Well, we're going to find out. So I'm going to roll this into a ball and then press

15:47it through as hard as I can and see what happens. Here we go. All right. So we're looking for

15:51it to

15:51emerge through here. Nothing. It's not looking good. It feels like it should work, but when you do

15:59press it, this is what happens. It just turns into a really dense piece of aluminum with nothing else to

16:04it. And now it's stuck. Trying it again with a super thin piece of aluminum. I want to get

16:11something here. Oh, look at that. Wow. It's actually beautiful. Let me try to touch this though. This

16:18is actually crazy spikes. Look at that. Look at the diameter. Ah, actually feels good. It's kind of a

16:26massage. All right. I mean, if you take a thin enough piece of aluminum foil, it does create these

16:31little cool bubbles kind of coming out of it. And if you take it away, it goes away. Push in.

16:37There we go. Kind of cool. So this obviously doesn't work as they showed, but it does work in a

16:42different way. You can at least get like a little bit of jump out and I wouldn't call them really

16:45spikes, but some like low level starter spikes. Nothing crazy. So I'm going to say that that one

16:50was of course clickbait, but you can still do some cool things with the aluminum. What is this?

16:55Is that Shrek's hand?

16:59It just looks AI. Like I just don't think this product is real. Maybe it is. I don't know.

17:04I'm sure somebody makes it, but not like that. That just looks like a fake video, right? Like

17:08that right there. Little AI text happening here as well. I mean, a lot of people seem to be

17:12interested in this, so I hope it works. I hope this is a real product. If I get my hands

17:15on it,

17:15then you're probably seeing this right now and it does exist. So let's see if it actually works on

17:19my neck then. So I bought this creepy looking ogre hand massage device that you're supposed to use

17:23on your neck. It was actually quite expensive as well, but I'm excited. Here's the thumbs on this

17:27thing. I mean, it is not pretty, but if it does a good job massaging, that's all I care about.

17:31All right, put it on. I guess it's go time. Oh, that is really working the neck nicely.

17:45Huh? What are you doing with the camera? Just checking out all those ogre hands.

17:53Oh, well, this one definitely works. This is so enjoyable. These hands are massaging. It's like

17:58Shrek is on your neck and I love every second of it. Five stars. What are we doing? Clickbait,

18:02not clickbait. This is not clickbait. This is very good. I like this guy a lot. He's here to stay.

18:07All right, what do we have here? Vitamin C does what? I guess we're going to find out.

18:10So we have Coke. Coca-Cola, go clear. Vitamin C. Let's try it out. We're just going to close it,

18:18shake it up. Oh my God, look at that. Whoa. So we can create clear Coke by just pouring

18:25vitamin C in it? How does that work? Does vitamin C just offset the Coca-Cola syrup so then that

18:29brown

18:30color becomes clear? That feels a little too good to be true. I feel like there's some hidden magic

18:33happening there. I can't exactly pinpoint what it is, but let's go ahead and try it and see if this

18:37works. You guys saw the video. Apparently you could turn Coca-Cola clear by putting in vitamin C

18:42pure ascorbic acid into it. These are some tablets. So I'm going to drop some in, shake it up, and

18:46we're

18:46going to see if this black turns transparent. This would be a cool one. I don't know if you can

18:49actually drink it after. I'm assuming you can. It's just vitamin C. Let's go ahead and try.

18:53Okay, fizzing up. There's the vitamin C in it. Put a couple in for now and then shake it up.

19:00So far, it's just basically acting like a Mentos, but I don't actually see a color change happening,

19:05but we stumbled on something else. Just like constant flow, the carbonation. Look at that.

19:09It's actually still acting up. How long will this go on for? It's kind of fun. It's been doing this

19:13now for three minutes. All right, guys. So this one clearly does not turn it clear or anything like

19:17that. All it does is just basically release all the carbonation. So it's probably just super flat soda

19:22now, but I did see another video that showed that there's something else that can actually turn it

19:26clear. So let's try that instead. Still tastes exactly like Coke. So the backup option here is

19:31iodine. If you put iodine in Coca-Cola, apparently it actually makes it transparent, unlike that

19:36clickbait short. Let me actually show you how to turn Coca-Cola clear. We got our iodine. We're just

19:41going to spray it directly in. A little shake here. Let's see if the properties of this Coca-Cola change.

19:49Nothing. Okay, so I got clickbaited twice. So I actually offline saw another version of this

19:55with iodine and they swore it worked, but I have iodine and Coca-Cola here and nothing happened.

20:00It just turned more orangey, kind of like the color of iodine. Surprise, surprise. So as we're

20:05cleaning up the iodine using bleach, it turns out that the iodine goes away pretty instantly to bleach.

20:10So I actually think what's happening is that they're clickbaiting you by putting iodine in the

20:15Coke can and then dropping bleach in it to show that it could turn transparent. So I actually want to

20:19test

20:19this. We actually might figure out how they're clickbaiting in real time. Will it actually turn

20:23clear? Oh, there we go. Let me give it a little spin here. Oh, looky there. Wow. So it turns

20:32out to be

20:33true that bleach and iodine, which wasn't the original clickbait thing we were testing, but does

20:38actually turn it transparent. So that's a cool one. So bleach does work. I know it's a deviation from

20:43where we started, but they were clickbaiting us by using iodine instead of Coca-Cola. So we actually

20:47went super meta with this one. Still clickbait, but the way that they did, it does actually work. I don't

20:52know

20:52why they just didn't say this in the first place. It's kind of equally cool that iodine can turn

20:56transparent with bleach. All right. The first thing I noticed here is this is a short, but look how

21:00wide this short is. Like this is just on the native short scroll. I want to show you guys this.

21:05Let me

21:05know if you've ever seen this aspect ratio before, but this is blowing my mind. But what may blow my

21:09mind a bit more is what we're about to watch, which is look at the fork and battery in power.

21:14So I don't

21:14know what is about to happen, but I hope it's crazy. So we have four forks, three Duracell batteries and

21:20a

21:20coin in the middle. Okay. Then he puts the final battery on. Then what happens?

21:26All right. A levitation of the quarter. So apparently it adds some sort of kinetic energy

21:32just from the battery and like the magnetic field around it. I don't hate this. Like it's not going

21:36to work confirmed. It's definitely going to be clickbait, but what if it isn't? That would be

21:39crazy. So let's try it. Okay guys. I'm excited to try this out because if this were to work, this

21:44would

21:44be the coolest one I've ever seen. So I have four spoons lined up with four batteries stood up. And

21:49then I

21:49have my quarter right here. And apparently the quarter is going to move and even levitate in

21:54some cases, if I were to put it down because of all the energy that's surrounding it. Seems too

21:58good to be true. I know, but it may actually work. And that's, what's exciting about these things.

22:02Let me just place this down right here and we wait. Oh my, no way. Look at that. That is

22:10crazy.

22:10What? I can't believe it's working.

22:15No way that just worked. All right. You guys just got fooled with some movie magic because

22:19that was completely in reverse. So that wasn't true. This thing doesn't work whatsoever. If I

22:22were to actually do it and show you nothing. So complete clickbait. Do not try that unless you

22:29want to be let down. I don't know why I thought that would work. I thought there was maybe like

22:31a 5% chance, but 0% chance. Not in this universe. All right, let's see what's next. Okay. So

22:36it looks

22:37like it's the diamond play button suitcase, which I actually have two of right there. So we could

22:41definitely try this one. All right. So the claim is that there's a real diamond inside of the diamond

22:46play button suitcase. I mean, I'm just curious if there's a real diamond in the diamond play button,

22:50or is that just like a fake diamond? I don't know. I've never actually looked into it before. So let's

22:54see if this is real or not. So right here, I have my diamond play button. And if you don't

22:57know what

22:57diamond play button is, once you reach 10 million subscribers on your YouTube channel, they send you

23:01one of these. And I don't think I've ever showed you guys before. So I want to show you what

23:04it

23:04actually looks like. And apparently according to that short, it's just going to be a straight

23:08diamond. Maybe I'm just misremembering what's in here, but let's go ahead and check it out. Three,

23:12two, one. Ooh. All right. Well, it's not a straight diamond, but let's actually take a look at this.

23:21So inside of here is the diamond play button on the back. It says Sambucha. Congratulations on

23:26passing 10 million subscribers. They have little things so you can kind of keep it clean. And then

23:30right here in the middle might be a real diamond. That's why it's called the diamond play button

23:35because of this part right here. And so while obviously you don't just get a diamond like we

23:39saw in that short, but I did want to test to see whether or not the diamond inside of the

23:4310 million

23:43subscriber play button is real. And so I have a diamond tester right here. I don't know how this

23:47really works, but I'm just going to turn it on diamonds. And I'm guessing when I put it up to

23:51the

23:51diamond, it's going to tell us if it's a diamond. So we're going to want to see this as close

23:54to eight

23:54as possible. All right. I'm getting, Oh, wait a second. Three, four, five. Wait, wait. I think

24:01it's actually a diamond. Wait, what? It's an actual diamond in the diamond play button. Just do it

24:05again. So right now I'm not on a diamond. So you're seeing it at one. And when I go up

24:09to the diamond

24:09and put it right there on the ground, it goes up all the way to eight, which proves that it's

24:15a real

24:15diamond. It's like a hundred percent trail. Wait, that's actually crazy. I thought this second was not

24:21going to go that way. It turns out this is actually a real diamond in the middle, which makes this

24:25quite expensive. So not actually clickbait. Surprisingly, all things considered, you do

24:29have a massive diamond in your play button. Here we have an extra large watermelon slicer cutter.

24:34All right. Is this guy the world's strongest man? How are you supposed to cut through a watermelon

24:40and all these different melons like that? Look at that. And then you just serve it nice. I mean,

24:45I know the apple cutters exist. Those are hard enough to kind of break the apple. Do you think you're

24:49able to do this on a watermelon? Like I believe the product exists. I just don't believe it works.

24:53Watermelons are notoriously difficult to just break. All right, let me stretch and get ready

24:56for this and let's see if we can cut through a watermelon with this thing. So it turns out this

24:59is actually a real product and I was able to buy this on Amazon and it is just a mega

25:04version of the

25:05apple slicer, but this is meant for watermelon. So I'm not even skeptical about it going around the

25:09watermelon and like working. I'm skeptical if a human has enough force to go through a watermelon

25:14just to top it to get those slices. So we have a watermelon right here. Let's try it. All right,

25:19here goes nothing. I moved to the floor just because the table can't support this amount of

25:22pressure down on it. The floor hopefully can, but let's try and do this. All right. I think I'm

25:31going to get it. I need Superman to do this. Okay. We're getting somewhere. Come on, go through. Oh, wait.

25:41Oh, wait. Oh no. We did it. We did it.

25:46We sliced a watermelon like an apple. Now it takes a lot of strength to do it, but this is

25:51proof you

25:52could do it. And that is definitely not a clickbait product as evidenced by this slice right here.

26:00Where else are you going to get this? You can only achieve this with that slicer. All right. Very

26:03cool. So not clickbait. Okay. We were making a clear soda can, I guess. Oh, when you hear this

26:08sound, you know, it's about to be clickbait. All right. So you dip it in some solution and then

26:13I guess it just decays the aluminum on the outside and then you're left with a clear can. That's kind

26:17of cool. If that's true, I'll look up the set of ingredients to make that possible, but I hope

26:21that's not clickbait because that looks like a cool one. So let's go ahead and try it. Let's see

26:23whether or not that short was true. So I have this Coca-Cola can right here. And what I'm going

26:27to do

26:27is sand it down as it said, and then I'm going to submerge it into this root kill right here.

26:32And apparently after 15 or 20 minutes of submerging it in there, the aluminum is going to dissolve and

26:35it's just going to be left with a plastic film. That's what that short claimed. We're going to see

26:39if it's true or not. So let me start by sanding this down to just the aluminum and then we're

26:42going to see if it works or not. So as you can see, the aluminum is starting to reveal with

26:48the paint

26:48gone. So this is just pure aluminum can. So a little bit more, and then we're just going to drop

26:52into the solution and see what happens. Okay. Now that we have some warm water, we're going to put

26:56these pellets in. I would not try this at home because apparently it's very toxic. Put some

27:00salts in and this will activate it now. Cool chemical reactions will happen. All right. We're

27:04starting to get that blue color. So I think we're basically almost there now. Okay. Now it's time

27:08to open up the Coke and then we're basically just going to dangle it inside of here and hopefully it

27:12dissolves. Wow. This is really cool. So it is in fact working. I mean, as you can see, the aluminum

27:17film is basically all but gone now. So we're just left with that last layer of plastic. This root killer

27:22is

27:22certainly doing its job and completely obliterating this can. Wow. This thing is destroying the can

27:28so far. So good. It is not clickbait. We are almost at the plastic film.

27:35Okay guys. Well, it's been about 45 minutes. So I think it's been long enough. So we should check

27:40on this thing and see if it actually is the plastic film. Like we saw in the video, shake some

27:43of this

27:44off. Oh wow. Wait, it actually basically did. I mean, there's a little bit of aluminum leftover,

27:51but it was so thin that this thing actually created a hole in it. So it dissolved and you

27:56can see it right there. The corrosion was taking place. So in a way, this thing did work. We didn't

28:00get to see it at the plastic film stage, but I think it's pretty clear, pretty evident that it came

28:05close enough and in some areas actually penetrated through. So I guess the moral of this story is do

28:08not dip your aluminum cans in this solution because it'll dissolve right through. Pretty cool. Okay.

28:12I see some ramen noodles here. So this most likely is going to be clickbait. So we put a marker

28:17on the

28:17ramen noodles, press it, and then we unlock some hidden Chinese code. All right. So I guess that

28:22there's like encrypted within all ramen noodles, some ancient Chinese code or something. I don't

28:27even know why we're trying this, but it's clickbait. So let's go ahead and see if it works. I can't

28:31believe I'm trying this one, but we're going to see if we can uncover some ancient Chinese text by

28:36drawing on the ramen noodles, pressing them onto this piece of paper and seeing what happens. So

28:40let's open this up. Honestly, I would be impressed if any sort of transfer happened,

28:43let alone what we saw in that video. They didn't specify which flavor to get. So I just got chicken

28:48and I'm going to just take these two halves and just go all over it with this expo marker,

28:54which actually we do know has some sort of effect on things. Throwback to the video in which we used

28:59a spoon and actually had cool art come from an expo marker. So maybe there is something to this.

29:03Maybe there's like a deep code hidden within here, the strands of the noodle starting to look good

29:08and done. Oh, I love that smell. Moment of truth. We're going to press down and we're going to wait

29:12like maybe 10 seconds and see what it reveals. Okay. Pressed in there nicely. All right. You guys

29:19ready? Let's see what revealed. Three, two, one. Are you kidding me? Nothing transferred, a couple of

29:30dots. I mean, let's look a little closer. Maybe there's national treasure, like declaration of

29:34independence, some coordinates to get there through here. Oh, you know what? Wait, what is that saying?

29:38I guess. Yeah. Okay. Oh, that's a big one. Oh, sub. Oh my gosh. Wait.

30:02It actually worked. There is text underneath it. Wait, that's insane. I can't believe I was a hater.

30:07I didn't think it was going to work and it worked perfectly. It's the perfect message

30:11and it applies to everybody who's watching this video. You like that, huh? Realistically though,

30:14guys. Wait a second. Again? Oh, you have to do it. That's twice now. That one absolutely works.

30:27Really cool. Nice little hack right there. So shout out to that guy. It is not clickbait.

30:34What happens if you freeze a bubble?

30:36You put a bubble inside a refrigerator for two more hours. All right, show me.

30:39One guy decided to try it. First, he carefully made a small bubble in his hand.

30:43Okay. Pop it. Then he gently placed it inside the freezer.

30:46So we make a bubble, put it in the freezer, leave it there for a bit.

30:51But when he finally came back and opened the refrigerator, something shocking had happened.

30:55And what is it?

30:56But first, if this little c**t... Now back to the video.

30:59No way. So it creates this like crystal ball?

31:02Across its surface, making it look like a tiny frozen crystal ball.

31:05That is such cap. I'll tell you why it's cap. Because a bubble is so thin,

31:09it's not able to like take a solidified form without the pressure bursting it.

31:15Science class right there. I think that's true at least, but it remains to be seen.

31:18I'm going to go in a skeptic, but maybe I'll come out a believer. So let's go ahead and test

31:21it.

31:21So we're going to see whether or not you can actually freeze a bubble.

31:23Bubbles are super thin, so I doubt this will work.

31:25But I have a little bubble maker right here.

31:27And let's try to get a nice big bubble that we can put into the freezer.

31:32Oh, nice. Look at that. That's sudsy.

31:36Oh, is this thing smoking?

31:38Why does it smell like smoke? Give that a smell, guys.

31:42Is this even a real bubble?

31:47Okay, guys. So we got a bubble in there.

31:50So that bubble, we're going to try to freeze up.

31:52And we're going to see what happens in about 30 minutes

31:53and see if it ends up like that one ball that we saw in the video.

31:56All right, guys. It's been about 45 minutes.

31:57So I'm excited to see if our bubble is completely frozen now like the video.

32:01Let's be very careful here.

32:08Well, it turns out you can't freeze a bubble.

32:11It'll just pop while it's in there.

32:12Complete clickbait. That one does not work.

32:14I should have known better. I've never seen a bubble freeze.

32:16Here is a mobile phone hand generator.

32:18Now, I know that these things do work.

32:20I've seen one of these before.

32:21I think actually in a previous video I used this.

32:23But I'm going to find a better one

32:24because I actually want to test it and push it to its limits a bit.

32:26Let me see if I can like fully charge my phone using it and how long it would take.

32:28I went ahead and purchased the hand crank phone charger,

32:31which is also doubling as a flashlight as well.

32:33So it's a really good survival tool.

32:35So if you're ever out there and you need some quick light,

32:36we're going to see if I could charge using this crank.

32:39So right now I am on 33%.

32:41Let's get cranking.

32:42All right, we're charging right now.

32:43All right, let's see how long it takes to get to 34%.

32:45I'm going really hard and it's been about 60 seconds and nothing has happened.

32:49Okay, so I actually just accessed enough power to turn on the flashlight.

32:54If you're out in the forest, you can use this and identify where you are.

32:57Oh no, a bear.

33:03Where did it go?

33:04All right, I think the coast is clear.

33:07Oh, you're on 34%.

33:08Oh, let's go.

33:10Don't charge your phone while you're not cranking.

33:11Oh, wow.

33:12Okay.

33:12So I put so much juice in there that it actually has some leftover juice to actually charge my phone.

33:17So the device does work and it for sure can definitely double as a flashlight as well,

33:21as you just saw it because it protected me from that bear.

33:23And then I also got up a full percent.

33:24So if you're on like low battery mode, 10%, you can probably get enough SOS calls out there to survive.

33:29It's honestly worth having on hand and it is not clickbait.

33:31It does work.

33:32This device is pretty nifty.

33:35All right, guys.

33:36So that was a lot of fun.

33:36So let me know what you think.

33:37But anyways, thank you so much for watching.
