The trick is to buy them by the pallet. Ya know, because you need control groups, and you need to run the experiments multiple times. Then you can do this with all your favorite snacks and drinks
@@SCAeditz business expense. Since RU-vid and streaming is considered a job now you can write things off on your taxes if they are for videos like the potato chips in this video Ali by with Ty e liquid nitrogen
this is the whole reason they have space for the chips, when transporting by air the chip bags blow up like a balloon and deflate again when you get back the the ground
Fun fact: Since oxygen has an higher boiling point than nitrogen, you get a tiny puddle of liquid oxygen in the bag. I even presume thats where the extra air in the bag comes from. Liquid oxygen is highly reactive and probably just reacted with the chips, creating some CO².
Fun fact: If earth were somehow kicked out of the solar system due to a gravitational interaction, it would eventually snow oxygen and nitrogen as the atmosphere freezes.
Fun fact: They seal chips with DRY Nitrogen to prevent them from becoming stale, so whatever you're on about oxygen reacting with is just silly. Simply, Liquid Nitrogen takes up 700, volume than Nitrogen Gas at room temp, so the bag shrinks
@@Pratyush11 Not our problem it's their problem the point of food si to feed not to be "fancy" so make bigger container period wich price is that the amount of chips not his actual size.
the leidenfrost effect will protect his hands. Honestly handling liquid nitrogen bare handed is the best option. It's like when you see people handling concentrated Nitric Acid with no gloves. Yeah that's because it has almost no effect on skin long as you wash it off relatively quickly. It cam however make certain types of glove spontaneously combust.
Bro was a lil too comfortable putting his bare hand in to submerge that Doritos bag Edit: stop commenting about the leidenfrost effect it’s been said over 20 times and also they do make gloves for handling liquid nitrogen
@JuliaFlowers Games It'll roll off as long as you don't keep your hand submerged. There'll be an insulative layer of nitrogen gas that'll protect your skin as the liquid evaporates on contact. You ever pour water into a dry hot pan and see it skid around as it evaporated? It's like that.
The reason putting your bare hands in liquid nitrogen is more safe than if you wore gloves is honestly great. When your hand comes into contact with the nitrogen it begins to rapidly boil because of the heat difference between your hand and the liquid, and this causes a layer of nitrogen gas to form, briefly protecting your hand from harm. On the other hand (hehe, hand) if he was wearing a glove, the liquid nitrogen would absorb into the glove and freeze it, causing prolonged contact to the cold, resulting in more harm.
The main liquid in Doritos is vegetable oil, and it will have gasses dissolved in it. When you cool the bag down, the oil turns semisolid and the dissolved gasses condense and fall out of solution with the oil. Then you warm the bag up and those gasses vaporize into the airspace. That's why there seems to be more gas in the bag.
I have been working in vegetable oils and fats for 15 years now and i can assure you this is not how oils work. More likely that there is Air pockets in the doritos itself that have been sucked empty
Are you sure it wasn't just the bag had shrunken and didn't return to its full size? It wouldn't take much change in size to see that kind of inflation.
they fill most of the bag with gas so the chips are cushioned and dont get smashed. they use nitrogen instead of air, because oxygen ruins everything it touches, and the water vapor would make the chips soggy.
@@bladerj it's not the chemical I'd be concerned about, it's the temperature. Even though you can heat it quickly enough to not cause permanent damage, if you didn't absolutely know for certain that this was the case, it would be very scary to munch on super frozen items.
Fun fact chip bags are filled with nitrogen not just air it makes the bag look fuller and preserves the chips better. It's also lighter wich I guess might affect shipping cost on large scale.
People really think It's all because companies use stupid tactics, I mean they do, but this is also another reason why you actually need air in the bag
@Lynn Ezzeddine absolutely I've worked manufacturing pretty much my whole life and I'm from Detroit so I've also worked at frito-lay it's loong hours and lots of labor and people are gonna eat what you handle even the employees don't realize how many people snack on and in general use of ANYTHING that we use day to day that we pass off as just stuff in a store but it's likewise you only knew how many people spent hours of labor sacrifice time with family etc. So you can have a bag of chips, drink a cup of coffee, turn a bolt with a wrench, write a letter with a pencil... you'd thank over a thousand people just in the processing of THE BEANS, not even packaging delivery, stocking ,cashier for ONE CUP... never judge a man in a work uniform.
The reason the bag looked more full of air is because the bag itself got smaller at the molecular level dew to being cold, and it takes longer for the bag being a solid to warm up, then the air to warm up give it a couple hours and it would have looked like you hadn't done anything to it.
Regarding the extra gas upon warming up again... think about the vacuum effects. He mentioned that the gas in the bag condensed and shrank to the point that it was as though the bag had been shrink-wrapped or vacuum packed. Apparently the vacuum action was quite strong, as he expected the chips to come out crushed to the point of just being crumbs. If the vacuum was strong enough, the moisture and perhaps some of the other compounds inside of the chips would boil or evaporate, as in freeze drying. I imagine that upon warming up again, the water could absorb some of the pure nitrogen to form nitrogenous oxide and/or HO gas, and some of the organic compounds could break down or vaporize to form additional gases such as methane CH4.
@@2fifty533ut you can't just add normal air since there is oxygen and Carbon dioxide, and those aren't good, I mean you know what happens if open a bag of chips for hours
Hey Nate a little fun fact for you when the bags of potato chips get shipped over the Rockies they have to pressurize trailer with them going up in elevation less and less air pressure makes the bag
@@Milkybetrayal you remember when you seen Nate on tkor how he did the vacuum chamber with a marshmallow think of that marshmallow as a potato chip bag
@@Milkybetrayal that's definitely a possibility but when they had the reefer units they have to keep it pressure rise to about sea level to make sure the bags don't
The bags are nitrogen purged at the factory, and any bag travelling over high elevations (marked with a tiny little M for mountain) are intentionally under "inflated" to prevent popping.
Hopefully more from the cold rather than being liquid nitrogen itself, as the liquid could be very dangerous to your health (though you have some thermal protection because of the Leidenfrost effect). Liquid nitrogen has an expansion ratio of 1:694, so if you were to get a few mL of the liquid in your stomach you could do damage to or burst your stomach just from the liquid expanding to gas.
When chips are packaged it's not just normal air in the bag there's a venturi that blows nitrogen into each back before it's sealed which helps it stay fresh. It displaces a good portion of the oxygen.
TKOR got me through some pretty tough times. It was weird watching it change over time. You coming on, Grant slowly showing up less and less, Calli coming on, then unfortunately Grants passing and then you and Calli both being taken off TKOR. I have not been back to TKOR since about 3 weeks after Calli and you were removed. It isn't anything against the new people, it just wasn't TKOR anymore. To much had changed, to quickly. To be clear, you and Calli were great additions to TKOR and I enjoyed watching it while you two were there.
For people who are concerned about using nitrogen Bare hand, its actually safer than gloves, as the nitrogen forms a protective layer around your hand, it's called leidenfrost effect
@@irjiiu1041 even if it did, it would still be safe since liquid nitrogen evaporates really fast at room temperature, so unless he eats it before that happens then he's fine the air is mostly nitrogen anyways
Fun fact: the reason most lays bags are "half full" is because most companies use nitrogen to preserve the chips and keep it fresh. So its not full of oxygen but rather nitrogen.
the bag is mostly filled with gas so the chips are in a padded package that doesnt allow them to be crushed in shipping. the use pure nitrogen instead of air to inflate the bag, because oxygen ruins everything, and the water content would make the chips soggy.
Corporate wants you to find the difference between this picture (ziplock bag of air) and this picture (lays) Me, an intelectual: they’re the same picture
Preassure is directly proportional to temperature as the temperature drops the air preassure drops and when taken out from the container then it undergoes heat exchange leading it to become puffy
For those who don't know: When air is cooled it contracts and when it is heated it expands so basically when he took the bag out of the liquid nitrogen. The air inside the bag got heated due to the room temperature being high than the temperature of liquid nitrogen and thus the air inside the bag expanded (hope this helped cause I don't know much) :)
I was under the impression that the empty space was nitrogen and that it should have had minimal effect in the liquid nitrogen. Then I realised even though nitrogen is very stable, it was still going into a bath of liquid-itself and obviously would have contracted to meet it
I think what you should do is after it gets really full again even more than when you started to put it back in there and shrink it and then see if it pops the bag when you let it out like keep putting it in and out of the liquid nitrogen.
The Change of the rate of reactions are heavily affected by the temperature. There are other factors like surface area. But when the bag was submerged in liquid nitrogen the air cooled and shrank and the particles slowed down. But when he took it out the sudden increase in temperature caused the air particles to increase in energy and bounce off the inside of the bag more making the bag expand more than it did previously. I think.
Its safe to touch liquid nitrogen as long as you don’t submerge ur whole hand into it. Theres a gas barrier that acts like a shield keeping you from freezing (known as the leidenfrost effect)
