How Much Jello is TOO Much?
Show notes
Gelatin is a surprisingly strange material, especially when you stop serving it by the spoonful and start measuring it by the swimming pool. Julian looks into what would happen if someone took a running leap into a pool-sized serving of Jello, then digs into the surprisingly strange material itself. He and Trace explore why gelatin behaves so differently from both liquids and solids, what gives it its signature wobble, and the unexpectedly dark origins hiding beneath all those bright colors and fruity flavors.
QUESTION
Julian: "Let’s say I end up with a swimming pool full of Jello. What happens when I jump in?" from Lisa
