[Captions by Y Translator] In previous videos, you guys have seen
Nate make dry ice bubbles that you can actually bounce
and play with.
Now, Nate has a tendency to try and eat pretty
much anything he can.
So, today we're actually going to put a twist
on those dry ice bubbles.
We're going to make them edible,
so you can use them for fun Halloween toppings
in your drinks.

>> Guys, Cali's back here in the studio
and she's going to be showing us how to adapt a project
we've done previously, and make it a little bit
more food grade.
>> Because you eat everything.
>> That's sometimes true.
In the past, we've made some bubbles that we fill
with dry ice vapor and looks really cool because it's full
of just a white fog.
And, then they pop
and it releases the fog.
Cali has found a way to make those bubbles edible.
So, we can fill them with dry ice and put them
on the top of the drink.
So, you have a sort of spooky, bubbly-filled,
ghost drink topper.
We captured some ghost souls and we put them in bubbles,
and we're putting those in our drinks.
>> That wasn't in the fine print.
>> That's what we're doing.
Some people call it dry ice, but I call it ghost souls.
>> I have to go.
So, here's the basic idea.
We're going to be taking some pretty
common kitchen ingredients.
We're going to be putting them together, that will actually hold
in bubble shape,
fill them with dry ice and see if we can put them on the top
of some drinks.
So, the ingredients that we are using are pretty simple,
pretty easy to find.
Corn syrup and dish soap, you're usually going to find
in your kitchen.
Glycerin can usually be found in any baking section
or pharmacy section of any department store.
>> We also have a good variety of sodas,
which we primarily picked because they were fun colors,
I'm pretty sure.
First, let's do a recap.
Let's make some of the regular dry ice-filled bubbles,
the non-edible kind,
and then we can see what's different between the two,
once we've got them all made.
>> I will be surprised if you don't try
and eat one of those too.
>> Yeah.
>> So, for the non-edible bubbles, we're actually going to take
some Dollar Store bubble solution.
Going to use that for just a little bit of the base,
but it's not really strong enough to make these as large
as we want.
So we're going to add a few other things too.
Just a little bit of this
and then if you can add, probably I would say,
half a teaspoon of Glycerin.
There you go.
We're going to add a little bit of water.
And then two full teaspoons of Dawn dish soap.
I really made this stuff powerful.
Oh, the power.
Okay, let's see if it works.
Hey, it works!
Don't eat these ones.
No...
Now let's add some dry ice.
And go.
Add more.
More.
Yeah, that should do it.
>> It's too much, it's actually building up pressure.
>> No, no, that's actually exactly what we want.
So take the lid off.
So the lid is how we're going to control...
how fast we're building these bubbles.
Build me a bubble.
>> Oh, just one at a time.
Look at that.
Honestly, you can test a lot of different dish soaps, Dawn,
for some reason, everybody agrees...
it works the best.
Look at this.
That's-- that's insane.
If you do this with bare hands or rubber gloves
or anything like that, the bubbles aren't really
going to stay.
They want this soft fabric, and then you can pretty
much-- not drop them.
So if you want a lot of dry ice vapor very quickly,
drop your dry ice into hot water.
It's not going to last as long,
but you're going to get this crazy opaque material here.
This is not recommended.
Nate's going to eat one of the ones that
should not be eaten.
How'd that taste?
>> Like soap.
>> Do you want it to taste better?
>> Yes.
>> Let's fix that.
>> Okay.
Now we're going to start making
our edible bubbles and to do that,
we're going to start with soda.
Then we're going to take a little bit of our soda
and we're going to throw it in a pot on the stove.
And, the main reason for that, is to just try and get all
of the carbonation out of it.
So for best results, really just dump out some soda,
leave it on the counter until there is,
no carbonation left.
This tends to be a slightly faster way to do it,
but we do want to avoid it boiling and we also
want to avoid it hitting any sort
of caramelization stage.
>> We would also be able to just put in a vacuum chamber
and suck all of the carbonation out
like that.
>> Kind of like, when you shake up a soda,
and then you pour it out
and you lose a lot of that carbonation.
The idea is to just really agitate the soda,
so we get rid of that carbonation.
So you can see now when I'm stirring it,
we're really not getting any bubbles coming
to the surface.
It's basically just what you would see on any liquid
on the stove.
That's what we're looking for.
No more carbonation, so we're good to go.
So, we are going to be adding one
similar ingredient that we added to the regular bubble solution
and that is Dawn dish soap.
So while these bubbles are edible,
you don't want to drink them.
They're wonderful for the topping of a drink.
They're wonderful if you just want
to blow them and kind of catch them in the air
with your tongue,
but maybe don't drink the whole solution.
>> So let's talk, about how much of this dish soap are we adding
into our mixture here?
>> Much less than we added here.
This was almost 3 tablespoons by the time we were done.
This we're going to do maybe half a tablespoon
and we're adding other ingredients as well.
So that by the time you're done
it's less than a drop or so of Dawn dish soap per drink.
>> Probably even less than that even,
because once we've made the bubbles, the actual
amount of liquid used in bubbles,
it's going to end up only being a few drops and each
of those few drops will only
contain about one or two percent Dawn dish soap.
So... it's really such a small amount
that it's really not a problem.
>> So here's what we're going to do
to make it a little bit thicker.
We're going to be adding some corn syrup,
which is just augmenting the sugar that we have
in the soda already and then
glycerin which is going to help the surface tension
of the bubbles.
Corn syrup about 2 tablespoons.
Glycerin, I'm going to say... less than half a tablespoon or so.
>> Now, Glycerin like this soap,
is not something you want to eat
or drink a lot of but in very small quantities such
as we're going to be having in the bubbles on top
of our drinks,
it's not going to cause any problems.
>> You get a bubble, but it won't release.
Better than I thought.
Okay.
So you will see that these bubbles
aren't forming nearly as large as they are with a straight Dawn
dish soap-sort of solution.
So what we're going to do instead is we're going to make
these bubbles even smaller
so that when you put them on the top of the drink
filled with dried ice, it's going to look really foamy,
really frothy,
and then when they pop, you're going to get
that really cool smoke effect.
So the way we're going to do that,
is just a small piece of craft store mesh.
In case you're wondering about the bubbly taste,
if you like, stick your finger
in this and lick it,
yeah, you can taste bubbles, but I did feed a drink to
my roommate without telling him what was in it,
and he was fine.
Nate, which drink are you choosing?
>> This is a strawberry pop, is what it's called
and it's just got a nice red color.
So we're going to try that.
All right.
Well, let's add some dry ice.
Same process.
So we're controlling the flow of the dry ice fog with the lid.
So we're going to go pretty slow here.
So, let me dip it first.
All right and go for it.
How about that?
Try and blow bubbles.
Now we're just making a mess.
>> It's what I'm good at--
>> But a cool mess.
>> That's one heck of a fancy, bubbly drink.
>> So every single one of these is actually an edible drink.
We just wanted to find the weirdest sodas possible.
We've got blue-- Peach.
Pete--
Oh, that's Peach flavor.
This is--
That's a lemon lime.
This one is grape, of all things.
This was strawberry and this is a homemade butter beer.
This one is mine.
>> Let's add bubbles.
Yeah.
Keep going, keep going.
Next one!
Oh, too far!
Move it, move it, move it, move it--
They're going--
they're just-- at this point
it's just becoming--
>> It's bringing the cups closer.
>> I know, it's becoming one piece.
Now, let's refill the ones that have gone out.
>> Go, go, go.
>> All right, so we have made some food-safe,
carbon dioxide-filled bubbles, and one more thing that
we want to try,
is this chocolate-covered, maple-smoked,
bacon-flavored soda, which sounds
like the worst thing ever,
but maybe that's just because I'm not Canadian.
I don't know...
So I'm going to try this, so is Cali.
I would say that taste like Tootsie Rolls mixed
with burnt peanut butter.
Your turn.
>> What is in this?
Grant, you're Canadian, maybe you'll like this stuff.
>> Chocolate-covered, maple-smoked, bacon soda.
>> And, look at-- breakfast in a bottle, it says.
>> Yeah.
>> No, it's a health food.
>> There's really nothing more Canadian than that.
How do you describe what that taste like, honestly?
I'm sticking with--
You know, it tastes like chocolate-covered,
maple-smoked bacon.
>> I didn't actually get any bacon flavor in there.
>> I wonder if anybody else has ever tried this before
and can tell me what they taste.
Like, is there a better description for this?
>> Guys, that's all for now,
but we've got more for you to see.
