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.

“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.

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

"How much sawdust can you put in a rice crispy" 19th century english breadmakers: ". . . "

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

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.

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“

If a random man in a lab coat comes up to you and says, “Please consume this,” do not consume it.

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.

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

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

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

Always nice to see Jesse and Walter cooking up some new recipes.

"100% sawdust rice krispie" "Sir, that is a 2x4..."

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

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

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.

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

When's that Japanese dude going to make a knife out of 100% sawdust crispy treats?

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

4:32 bro I can't remember which one it is but some protein powder/preworkout definitely does that

Tries the 100% one: "it's like chocolate cake, but without the chocolate and the cake and with wood"

ian: “egg?” william: “yea, i think that’s what marshmallows are.” ian: “i think they’re animal”

Im very glad people do this type pf stuff. Thank you

"Mom I want a Rice Krispy" "We have Rice Krispy at home" *Rice Krispy at home:*

Ian: “What about human hair” Oh iddupes those days are over, the trilogy is done. No more hair cake

“has anyone tried to eat a tree” -William Osman CEO of veganism

"its not edible its eatable" are words to live by

Day: 1 of tricking my girlfriend into loving the taste of trees.

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

"Has anyone tried eating trees?" Yes Broccolis, actually

i swear on my life that EVERY time you ask ian if he has washed his hands for whatever video you're making, the answer is always no 😭😭 love him

"How Much Sawdust Can You Put In A Rice Crispy?" Nestle: "Hold my beer"

"please consume this" 10/10 marketing

“I once snorted sawdust and since then everything smells like Home Depot” -someome applying to enter Loish’s facebook group

That you actually made and ate the 100% sawdust one had me laughing so hard

Idubbz is the most qualified here for chaotic cooking judging from his history with filthy frank

“You could probably build a house out of sawdust” Well yes frames are made out of wood

"What if we eat the trees?" - the caveman who discovered fruit

This was very informative. Thank you

i have experienced this firsthand today, we got some rice crispy treats today and they quite literally taste and smell like wood i'm positive whoever made them saw this video and thought it was a great idea

"Can we put human hair in it" Ian still yearns for the good 'ol days

Set these out at an office with a sign saying “free homemade rice crispies” and up the saw dust percentage by one every day until someone notices

I’d love to see how this would go as a double-blind experiment.

i wasn't expecting Simone to pop up as i worked my way through his older videos but it honestly checks out

“You can kill someone with this” He feeds it to his friends

I love that he’s using Nile Red beakers, makes this experiment even more scientific.

33% sawdust can pass as a nature valley granola bar

this has been in and out of my recommended for 3 years today is the day i will watch it

"do one of those mommy finger tricks" "That's gross never say that again"

“it’s like a werthers original but it’s just all wood” yes that’s called wood

I've seen this video floating around for two years and only now am I watching it.

the intro is giving me so much Americanised science documentary exposition and i love it

“May cause physical discomfort to the respiratory system” That literally the only thing I figured was dangerous about saw dust.

When Ian said human hair, I immediately had flashbacks

I’ve had this video in my suggested for like almost two years and I’m finally gonna watch it.

This video is so good I came back two years later and remembered to like the video.

"Not EXPECTED to be toxic for ingestion" it's not expected because they never thought anyone would actually eat it lol These 2 may be the reason we'll probably be seeing "warning contains wood" on containers of sawdust soon lol

9:29 "Please consume this-" **Pops it into mouth with zero hesitation**

you guys should have used wet sawdust, like wetting it with water BEFORE u used it in the "recipe". because especially the different look come from the dry sawdust soaking in the moist from the other ingredients. they wouldnt be as hard AND look more like the 0% version, and both have bigger impact on the "taste" as you might think.

this man answers all the questions nobody asks

Arbor Day foundation: plants 20 million trees “Starts to eat trees”

>Nilered beaker when these guys say they're doing science they mean it

Still one of the best videos on this platform.

This changed my life, thank you

"You could probably build a house out of marshmallows and sawdust." yeah well you see, I think you're just talking about wood

MrBeast: lets plant trees William: lets take em’ down

You had me in stitches the whole way through

dude the ad bar qat the bottom of the video is amazing i would love other youtuber(s) to do that

"Has anyone ever tried to _eat_ a tree?" Vegans: **heavy sweating**

Next do the reverse: how many Rice Krispies can we add to wood before a carpenter realises? 😄

William Osman is that one guy that always brings the group of friends together.

That ending was like pulling out the aux cord while someone is speaking. Glorious.

“Are either of your parents a cow?” “They’re beavers actually. You’re pretty close.”

“Subject please consume this-“ *immediately puts entire thing into his mouth*

Possibly the best video I've ever watched

Dude. This is so trippy. I'm watching this video for like 5 seconds and then the tree your sitting in I think "that looks like the tree my friendfell out ofand broke his arm 25 years ago but of course this is a random video on the internet so of course it's not the same park with the same tree"...and as I'm thinking this the camera switches to a different angle and I all of a sudden see other memorable landmarks hit me all at once like a flood. The school in the background, the tennis courts, the wierd half circle steps with grass on them. It is.. this is valley Lindo park in Camarillo. Wow crazy.... even crazier there's a guy in my town spiking rice Krispy treats with sawdust.

*100% Sawdust is just a wood block.*

In conclusion: William likes wood in his mouth, but not too much

God idubbbz seems so much happier and in his element here

"Did you wash your hands?" Says the guy who is putting sawdust in the Rice Krispey.

"Has anyone tried to eat a tree?" Termites: *Bruh.mp3*

“What if we could... Eat... the trees?” Cue vsauce music

There was a famine in Finland during the civil war back in 1918. During that time, people mixed pinebark with what little flour they had and made bread out of it. It's called "pettu" and today it is considered healthy with all kinds of vitamins and stuff in it. If you eat it too much, or you mix too much bark in it, you gonna have a baaaaad time on the toilet because the amount of fiber it has is huge. Tastes good, though.

Now THIS is quality content.

“Has anyone ever tried to eat a tree?” Here in Finland we have this bread called Pettu. Basically, bread made partially from pine tree's bark. It was eaten during the famine.

Alternate title: “Literally Just Tricking People Into Eating Flavoured Wood”

They just rediscovered an ancient way of making parchment paper

"Oh this is great, what did you put in it?" "Sawdust." **falls over**

Team Trees: *Plants 20 million trees* William Osman: "let's eat them all"

"Has anyone ever tried to eat a tree?" Me:...cinnamon...

Trees being everywhere is kinda funny, as someone who lives in dubai I was designing a 3D tree the other day when I realized... I don't even know what a tree looks like! Which is why we need a sand Rice crispy video next :)

William and ian looking like jesse pinkman and mr white YEAH MR. WHITE! YEAH SCIENCE!

I like that once Michael moved out William's uploads increased, proving Michael's slow work ethic is contagious

"We have too many trees" *sad burning australia noises*

no body stopped and bothered to ask, why? which makes me love this video even more. 11/10 would rewatch again

That sawdust is the EXACT consistency of the "soy protein powder" I have bought last, from the adherence to the staticity and now that I have an actual frame of reference, it smells and tastes like wood (plus whatever flavoring they tried to cover it up with) too.
