Me Meeting The Double Rainbow Guy On August 2013
Here’s another internet meme star I encountered at the Hilton hotel across from the Anaheim convention center at VidCon 2013 in August. Let me tell you, he was one of the most laid-back and friendly people I’ve ever met in person. I was fortunate enough to meet him before he passed away on May 9, 2020. May he rest in peace. 🪦 🙏🏻 🌈!
Can a Sparkler Burn Through an Egg?
What happens when you push a lit sparkler through an egg? 🥚🧨
In this experiment, Alex Dainis explains why the sparkler doesn't fizzle out and keeps burning straight through the egg. Most fires rely on oxygen from the surrounding air, sparklers are self-oxidizing. They release the oxygen needed to keep the reaction going, even inside the egg. That's also why you can't simply blow a sparkler out!
