How Much Sawdust Can You Put In A Rice Crispy?

“Mars Rover and Mr. Yeast” is going to be the title of our upcoming buddy cop movie.

"Did you wash your hands?" "Hehe no" This severely dates the video

“Because it’s not dangerous to eat, it’s safe to eat.” This is going to be my high school quote.

My uncle used to make maple sawdust candies using maple syrup vanilla and pine tree sawdust. Usually right after Christmas, he'd cut up the tree, and save the sawdust to make the candy, it was actually like a 50/50 of sawdust to maple syrup, and they were good.

Watching this at work, I asked my friend, who happens to work here, how much sawdust he thought you could put in. He asked if the question is how much saw dust before they notice something is wrong, or how much for them to know that it's sawdust.

"It's not edible, it's eatable" That's how I describe my cooking

"at 100% its not even a Rice Crispy anymore' took me a couple of months but the math checks out there.

Adding sawdust to make flour etc go further was apparently pretty common in days of old in famine times. Victorian England they used to add chalk to bread to make it heavier and whiter which was the two indicators of 'quality' back in those days. And some added so much chalk that you could starve to death while feeling full cause there was so much chalk in it. This brought about the first food adulteration laws which banned adding of chalk (and no doubt other stuff) into bread.

Any rice crispy company: „Write that down, WRITE THAT DOWN“

I want to see double blind taste testing with 5% and 10% sawdust.

Whenever you see "cellulose" in the ingredients list of a food item, this is more or less what it is. Of course, food manufacturers generally don't put more than maybe ~10% cellulose in a product and generally much less than that in most things. More than that can really mess with taste and texture. It's basically used to give some structure/texture to packaged foods so they don't simply just fall apart or become a clumped mass by the time you go to eat them. A primary example is that powdered parmesan cheese you get at the grocery. Cellulose is added to keep it from clumping up into a hard mass that won't shake out and also helps keep moisture levels down inside of the can. It doesn't hurt you, it just goes right through your body. Of course, eating too much of it can act as a laxative, so maybe stay away from the 100% sawdust rice crispy treats.

"hey eat this rice crispy on camera" "ok" "ok now eat this piece of wood."

My takeaway from this is that you could probably sell the 100% sawdust as some type of high-fiber nutrition bar and people would probably buy it

4:53 I can't help but think that these leading scientists basically just recreated a piece of wood using sawdust.

this video is such a classic, i come back to watch it from time to time. thank you William make more videos like this one maybe

U guys remember the turtle from “Over the hedge” who straight up eats bark??? That’s this guy lmao

Ian: "can we add human hair?" Human cake flashbacks

Dude I got a rice krispy from halloween and it tasted like wood... Now im concerned

I want to see an experiment where the goal is to make "liquid wood" where you can pour the liquid into a mold and have it solidify into wood.
