Turning styrofoam into cinnamon candy

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

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

Weeks of painstaking chemistry followed by minutes of complete improvisation.

I love how almost every Nile's video goes like "This may have 97% kill rate, but I'm gonna try it anyways."

First step: homemade Napalm 4:45

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

i figured reheating the hardened candy with a double boiler would be obvious, but then i remember this guy is a chemist and not a cook

Styrofoam is already tasty enough.

Hello Nile! My name is Michael Lesser, I'm a college student from Florida. I'd like to ask you to consider adding captions to videos, and not the auto generated stuff since some chemicals can not be translated. This is so Deaf people or people who are hard of hearing can enjoy your videos easier and have the full experience, the science you do is so amazing, it would be a shame if anyone missed out. Love your content!

Coming from a cooking background I have to say, well done for not giving up with the crystallised lump, you did the right thing reheating it.

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

nilered: and I set it up for a distillation nilered: ... and I set it up for a distillation nilered, crying internally: ... and I set it up for another distillation

Your way of setting up a sentence and then never finish it the way id think you would and keep the video going like that for 52 minutes is amazing. It reminds me of rhythmic verbal hypnosis techniques.

Nile pretending he couldnt take out 78% of new york on a sunday afternoon

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

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

this channel and generally everything of nilered/nileblue has been a major point as to why im so interested in chemistry. i started taking the class this year in high school, and while it was rough at first im now getting the hang of it a lot more, and on top of that im able to understand this channels content a lot more and that has made it more enjoyable to watch the process of these various reactions. i feel highly confident about persuing chemistry when im done with high school, even with how rocky that journey may be. thank you nigel

15:05 i love looking at the reflection in the flask and seeing you just staring at the setup
