Welcome to the Vat19 Test Lab.
Today, we're going to be trying out
a lot of different kinds of play snow.
They're all uniquely awesome snow substitutes.
But which one is the coolest?
Let's find out.
[DRUMS PLAYING]
It looks like snow, but I would still think it's fake snow.
Yeah.
Ooh.
It feels a bit like snow.
It's a little wetter than I would have thought.
It looks really dry.
Yeah, it looks super dry.
It's kind of got some like gel kind of feeling when you really
scrunch it.
It's a little colder than room temperature.
Danny, what does it taste like?
I've made it my thing, I guess, to taste it.
Maybe like a sprinkling.
We have a lot of them.
Hm.
So don't fill up on that one.
Heh, [SPITS].
Don't do that.
I'm looking at it, and I'm thinking
these are big cotton balls.
This is not real snow.
I would never be tricked into thinking this was snow.
It's dense, and it's got a crunchiness to it.
When you first pick it up, you're like, that's not snow.
But when you squeeze it--
It's got that snowball crunch, yeah.
--ahh.
Floof.
Well, it looks delicious.
I don't think I'd ever think this was real snow.
No.
It looks very marshmallowy.
Feels like a marshmallow that's not sticky.
I mean, this is definitely a fun one to play with.
Probably the least snow-like.
This one does look straight delicious.
So here's my little marshmallow.
And it's not going to taste good.
Eh!
A Snoball Battle Pack.
Yeah, well, first of all, let's get some syrup in here--
Yeah, get a little--
--and make a snow cone.
--snowcone action, tropical ice.
Because that's looks like straight ice, man.
It looks really wet snow, like kind of slushy snow.
Yeah.
Ah, it's cold.
Ooh, it is cold.
I didn't expect it to be cold.
This is wetter than Insta-Snow.
Yeah.
Insta-Snow was wet but didn't, like,
leave any moisture on you.
This leaves like a moisture on you.
It's Insta-Glow Snow.
Do you feel like you can almost see it glowing right now?
I can see a little bit of glowing, I feel like.
Well, let's see some more.
Turn off them lights!
Whoa!
Nice?
That's crazy that this snow is radioactive.
It doesn't look exactly like real snow.
Yeah.
Maybe if, like, a radioactive reindeer peed on it.
Yeah.
Oh.
Ooh.
It feels just like the Insta-Snow.
It does.
It's got some of the dampness of the Battle Pack,
but it still feels kind of light and fluffy--
Mm-hm.
--like the Insta-Snow.
Eyes closed, if I just shoved my hand in that and I was outside,
I might think it's snow.
So this is the real deal.
Feel this?
That's cold.
That's real cold snow.
Oh.
It's crunchy, cold and very cool.
It's crunchy, and it's kind of fine.
And you--
It's not very smooth.
--and go out.
It's a bit jagged.
It's-- it's ice, baby.
Yeah, baby.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Can we make a snowball with it?
I can't even get two little granules to stick together,
I feel like.
If I'm going to try to make a snowman out of this,
he'd to be horizontal.
He would just have to be a pancake.
Not good for packing.
No, not a good snowman.
Our work here is done.
Yeah, [LAUGHS] It's been packed.
Hey, I made a snowball.
Try our snowman.
Snowman test.
(SINGING) You want to make a snowman.
(SINGING) Snowman.
Oh.
Oh, nice, or is it.
Oh!
[GASPS]
Good job.
I did it.
OK, let's see if we can make a snowball out of this.
Yeah!
It comes with like molds--
Really well.
--to make like perfect little spheres.
Snowman test.
A big ol', strong, superhero, butt chin snowman.
Look, I did it.
Oh, yeah.
He's got a little snout even.
It just packs so well.
It packs really well.
So yeah, anything you need to mold.
It's more just a play thing--
Yeah.
--than anyway.
I think you could make a snowball with this.
That's what it's for, right?
It stays together.
Stays together pretty well.
But like if you kind of let it go, it's going to go.
Yeah.
It's got a little jiggle to it.
It does.
It does have "jiggle-ability."
Yeah.
(SINGING) Can I make a snowman?
It does sink after A while
Look, it's going to-- yeah.
It's going to break.
So it sinks under its own weight?
[LAUGHS] Now, he's headless.
Packability, it doesn't--
It's not great.
It's kind of-- kind of.
Cool it glows in your hand, though.
That is cool.
It's like you're holding a orb.
It packs better than the Insta-Snow.
Might be able to make a snowman.
I don't think so.
Yeah, I'm going to say, no on the snowman.
[LAUGHS]
I guess you could do like a fun, glowing, Christmas display.
Mm-hm, like a Christmas rave.
Can we make a perfect snowball?
I'm going to make a small one.
Are you eating the hand snow.
No.
This one holds like--
Yeah.
--really nice.
You making a little snowman?
Making a snowman.
We can make a little snowman.
Yeah, you can definitely make a misshapen--
That's cold.
[LAUGHS]
--snowman.
You could make snowballs.
You can make snow cones.
This is outdoor use primarily--
This is an outdoor use.
--unless you're eating it with cherry syrup on it.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
We got our model back there, who I
think is pulling off this ensemble, in my opinion.
Yeah, also for the cameras, I'll be doing this with my left hand
and I'm right-handed.
So please, no comments making fun of me.
Heh-eh!
[LAUGHS] Ha-ya!
Eh!
No, but that was fun.
It was not satisfyingly splattery.
[LAUGHS]
Oh, right in the ear.
Does it burn the eyes?
It didn't feel good.
It didn't hurt, but it wasn't whimsical.
Does it stay together as it flies?
That guy.
I probably will miss--
100%.
I might miss too.
[LAUGHTER]
Oh!
Oh, good shot!
Ow!
That--
The ear doesn't feel good.
I think this is going to be a fun one to throw.
Yeah.
Nice.
All right, I'm going to try with my right hand this time.
OK.
[LAUGHS]
[LAUGHTER]
That had a sound to it.
A good thunk!
I'm going to go with a smaller snowball.
Yeah.
Oh!
That stayed together.
Yeah, it did.
Eh!
Ha-yay!
Nice!
I like the "splat-ability."
Oh, that was a hard one.
I didn't mean to throw it that hard.
Slap!
I did not mean to throw it that hard.
It didn't hurt that bad, though.
Let's throw.
It can glow, but can it throw?
Whoa!
Eh!
No, it kind of fell apart.
Yah!
Aw!
The splatter is probably the best part.
The sound?
Yeah.
I like-- yeah, the sound is good.
Oh-ho, that just bounced right off your ear canal.
What?
"Throw-ability."
This is prime throwing snow.
Oh!
"Pizz-ow!"
I can do it!
Aw, yeah, right in the kisser.
Oh, I just--
Ah!
Not too bad.
At least, it bounded mostly off.
It does have a good crunch to it, like it just sent [SPFFT]..
A good splat factor.
Good splatter.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
I thought looking initially it would be easy,
but it kind of just smears.
No, it kind of clumps up like an eraser.
If you press too hard, it kind of smashes.
I think if you had like a brush it'd be better.
Ben has got his hair dryer that he brought.
[HAIR DRYER BLOWING]
Completely undid the cleanup test.
[HAIR DRYER BLOWING]
Oh, no.
It's a snow globe.
How are we going to clean this up?
I don't no.
Oh, there is a bucket.
This is why these are kid-tested, mother-approved.
I think that's their slogan.
Huh.
Yeah.
Did it.
I'd play with this inside.
I would play with this inside and outside.
Yeah.
[HAIR DRYER BLOWING]
OK, it's been 30 minutes.
This does not-- does not make a mess easily,
but I would be willing to bet we could just--
See, what's nice about Floof is that it's
so sticky you can use it to clean itself up.
Yeah, and done.
Let's see if it melts.
[HAIR DRYER BLOWING]
What do you think?
Doesn't melt.
Our Floof has changed.
Yeah.
So now, we have color change Floof.
It starts out blue.
Mm-hm.
And I think it does something when we hit it with the heat.
[HAIR DRYER BLOWING]
Oh, yeah!
Wow!
It's turning white!
Look at that.
Definitely changed him.
I don't want to clean this.
The majority of it cleans up pretty easily.
But then it--
Yeah, but it's smeary.
So we got a couple of paper towels in here to try that out.
That seems to be working a lot better.
Yeah.
It's becoming little dust particles everywhere.
[HAIR DRYER BLOWING]
Well, it retains the moisture really well.
I don't think it's doing anything.
Oh.
It's a little sl--
slimy, I guess.
Uh-huh.
So I feel like this is going to seem extra bad, because--
You see all the residue.
--you see--
[HAIR DRYER BLOWING]
Oh!
Turn it off!
That was a terrible idea!
There's a lot of water happening right now.
It's still dripping here.
We had fun, but now what do you do with it?
There's a reason why this should--
It's a puddle.
--only be played with outdoors.
Yeah.
It does packs together at least.
It does.
But it's like melting along as it goes.
So there's a lot of water.
[HAIR DRYER BLOWING]
Woo!
No!
It's melting!
[HAIR DRYER BLOWING]
Oh, we're just going to play ice hockey.
It melts.
Melts.
It's melting as we talk.
I think we're just going to have to get a lot of paper towels.
