Do not put molten sugar in the fridge! The air inside a fridge is very wet, and water dissolves sugar. If you put it in the fridge it'll just become a sticky mess.
Interesting chemistry, along with practical application. Like watching Bill Nye invite Jackass to wrap up an episode. I like it.
Your brother deserved that. He was reading an Anthony Scaramucci book…. i wish it was real glass.
Cool!! I might use that in my remake of a scene from the movie, "Batman and Robin" where Pamela Isley/Poison Ivy smashes some test tubes in a laboratory!! You have inspired me!!💝💝💝💝🎇🎆🎇🎆🎇🔬🔬🔬🔬🔬🔬🔬🔬🔬🔬🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨🔧🔧🔧🔧🔧

Reminds me of breaking bad season 3/4 but yellow instead if blue
