Turning plastic gloves into hot sauce is something that I've been wanting to do since I started this channel. I never attempted it though because I knew that it was going to be the longest and hardest project I've ever worked on. However, one day I randomly decided that I was ready and I just got started on it...

    "If you could bring one food with you on a desert island, what would it be?" Nilered: "Plastic gloves"
  • @Bailey_Dreamfoot
    I love the way he talks. At any point you have no idea if the sentence is gonna lead into ‘it didnt work at all” or “it worked flawlessly.” Idk how you manage to make chemistry tense.
  • @ArcaneMagic2296
    I love to watch these videos while I sew, because sewing can sometimes be very frustrating but whenever I feel like giving up Nile Red says something like "Well I lost everything I spent a week working on but that's just how it is sometimes. Anyway"

    Cashier: "What are you buying so much vanilla sugar for?" Nilered: "Hot Sauce."

    Served at NileRed's party: * chicken wings with plastic gloves hot sauce * toilet paper moonshine * grape soda also made from plastic gloves * diamonds infused soda water * cotton candy made from cotton balls * french fries fried in soap oil
  • I love how he gets so far into the rabbit hole, that the molecule doesn't even have a name, so he just calls it "molecule 1".
  • @Lychem
    Watching these is fun, but watching these as a chemistry student is even more, because sometimes you'll be like "Hey, I know this reaction, I did it last week".
  • For centuries, alchemists had been trying to turn lead into gold. Little did they know, it wasn't lead that could be turned into gold, it was plastic gloves.

    Nile Red 5 years from now; "I was looking at a lizard, and it occurred to me that since most creatures are just mostly made of water and carbon, I could design my own sentient species"

    As soon as I had seen the Potassium Permanganate, a big smile came across my face. I work in water treatment and we use it to remove iron and magnesium from the raw water. It's nice to see a familiar chemical for a change lol
  • @chrisj4288
    This video really shows you how chemistry is just replacing one thing with another thing 30 different times until you can finally get the thing you want out
  • @trevoryork1766
    I love how chemistry is a nice mix of "this has to be exactly perfect or it won't work" and "just eyeball it dude it'll be fine"
  • @tektonike
    You seem like a very fun guy to have as a friend. And not just because of the science experiments, those are just bonuses
  • @Neknadeg
    Science is so beautiful. It's like "I don't know what to do, but this paper says 'do this' - so I did it, and it worked." I just love this.
  • @tricky2917
    Nature: "Look, I spend millions of years evolving chili peppers!" Nilered: "Hold my gloves."
  • Friend: Damn what’s this sauce made of? Nile: gloves and vanilla…… Friend: …
  • @sadie6219
    After just two videos, I am thoroughly convinced that chemists are the most patient people in the world.
  • @AFinn-ds1qt
    Has the confidence in his chemistry to turn gloves into hot sauce but not in his cooking to roast his own peppers 😅
