“How did your husband pass away?” “He was cooking and eating chemical sausages in our basement with imaginary Mark Ruffalo”

Menthol triggers your mouth’s sensitivity to cold. The pepper flakes trigger your sensitivity to spice. They didn’t balance each other out; his mouth was experiencing *BOTH* at the same time.

“This is… this is poison!” Yeah, literally! That’s poison!

“That’s the Menthol water” he sounds so afraid..

Dear god. It’s one step closer to a breaking bad sausage.

This might be your most hazardous sausage to date and I've seen you eat a carolina reaper

This video is hilarious because it's (SOMEHOW EVEN AFTER SEVERAL YEARS OF ORDINARY SAUSAGE) one of his most expressive and upbeat episodes, but one of the most toxic and poisonous sausages he's ever made, so the tonal whiplash is immense. He's so cheerful when he puts the sausage on the griddle and then he proceeds to just FORCEFULLY evacuate his lungs. 10/10

As a chemistry nerd with a degree, lemme run some numbers real quick: - "The estimated lethal dose for menthol (and peppermint oil) in humans may be as low as 50-500 mg/kg" (thanks Wikipedia) - Mr. Sausage seems to be about 100kg (220lb in freedom units). Maybe more if he's taller, I may be a bit off here. Means the lower end of the lethal dose range would be about... 5000mg. - In freedom units, that about 1/6th of an ounce (of mass). - In cooking units, since menthol's density is lower than that of most cooking solids (0,9 g/mL vs 1,6 g/mL for sugar), it'd be a bit less than 2/3rds of a tablespoon. - The sausage seems to have about 2-3 tablespoons of pure menthol. By my calculations, that's about enough menthol to (potentially) kill 4 Mr. Sausages. Also by my calculations, the sausage he cut up for the tasting may have had enough menthol to kill Mr. Sausage, had he eaten the whole thing. HOWEVER... he ate nowhere near that. A single bite of sausage wouldn't have had a lethal dose, and he spit it out anyway so he had less than that. Also, a lot of the menthol evaporated during the cooking anyway (menthol smoke! don't breath this...). In conclusion: Mr Sausage's life wasn't really in danger. This sausage idea was still incredibly stupid, though. Do research your sausage ingredients before adding them to your sausage, kids! Especially if they're potentially hazardous chemicals!

Tell me I didn’t just get a post notification saying “Menthol Sausage”.

This man just made a sausage using several grams of a chemical with a 2 out of 4 on the health hazard of the NFPA 704.

"Do your research before you sausage." Mr. Sausage, you ARE my research

“A little menthol goes a long way” Proceeds to use a whole fistful

Menthol is absolutely toxic in quantity. I'm glad you put a comically large amount in there, it essentially ensured you wouldn't be able to consume any significant quantity of it. What a bad idea, Mr. Sausage.

4:19 The immediate cut from the delightfully amused “look at it go!” to intense, pained coughing had absolutely sent me into orbit. I can’t help but imagine this is *exactly* how a lot of late-19th-early-20th century chemists died.

A patient is presenting to the emergency with swollen eyes and a minty scent on their breath...

5:33 "Why is there steam coming out of your oven, Mr. Sausage?" "Ah- oh! That isn't steam, it's smoke! Smoke from the *menthol sausages* we'll be having. MMMMMM, menthol sausages!"

Knowing Mr Sausage I really thought he was just going to send newports through the grinder

full transparency here: RU-vid recommended me this video about a week ago and now I can't stop watching your content. legitimately thought it was a chemistry video when I first saw the title. now here I am, a week later, 60+ videos watched from you. what have you done to me.

one step closer to the shattered glass sausage I see

This is the first time Mr Sausage has made a legitimately lethal sausage

A negative 1 sausage is truly an impressive score to behold

4:58 I have seen you try some reprehensible sausages, but I am quite certain that I've NEVER heard such trepidation in your voice for the "Here we go!" as I did in that moment.

That was the most dejected "here we go" that I've ever heard. Best episode yet!

my man... like... a SINGLE crystal would have been MORE then enough for that ENTIRE sausage

Very impressive that after all the crazy sausages he's made, this is only the first time he actually made a poisonous sausage

Finally, Dubious Food from Legend of Zelda.

Fascinated by the implications of his head being used to represent a negative sausage out of 5

if you plan on using more chemicals for making sausages i would recommend searching up the safety data sheet of the chemical you plan on using

I just kept repeating "But that's SO MUCH menthol" over and over from the moment he said "That seems like a good amount of menthol crystals". I couldn't stop. That was SO MUCH menthol.

TOS turning into Gilbert Gottfried's Smoke Detector while coughing is the funniest thing

The sausage machine was literally trying to protect him 💀💀

He realized after the fact that it’s literally poison in the discord server

by the sounds of that coughing i believe pork, red pepper and crystalline menthol is how you summon the 90s screaming smoke alarm puppet

01:45 Oh no, no no no no.. the hellfire mix. Fun fact, the taste reseptors that makes spicy food like chili etc, have a sensation of being hot, and the reseptors that make minty/mentholy things have a sensation of cool/coldness, can both be triggered at the same time.. and they do *Not* cancel eachother out

that is a terrifying amount of menthol to be in a single food product

Pro tip: before making another chemical sausage, look up the LD50

This might be the most visceral reaction Ive ever seen him have to a sausage. Rightly so since I can’t imagine it tasting like anything other than vapour rub

He really predicted the score of the poison sausage way back in the Candy Apple episode.

I can't believe Mr. Sausage made the Icyhotdog (I will not take any technical corrections on this the name is too funny)

They are banning menthol cigarettes, so we get menthol sausages instead.

"Here we go!" **gasping** **retching** "It's poison! It's poison!" Comedic genius.

A mattress ad in the middle of this is just so random I love it lmao

"We're callin' this one done whether it's done or not" This man put's his life on the line every day for our entertainment like

I was not expecting you to gas yourself like a German soldier handling mustard gas in ww1 but I’ll be damned if it didn’t get me worried and got a chuckle for absurdity

if we never see him upload again after this one it's been a good run everybody

1:15 "I think Captain Pork's gonna have to push this load out" Hehehehehe

i missread it as methanol first and got worried for a sec

Chemical Sausages are the new frontier

i love your commitment to cooking in an unventilated cellar

Finally Ms Sausage gets to take over the channel! We have been waiting for this moment a long time!

i've never heard genuine fear in your voice until now. that "ok, here we go" is haunting

New show idea: Worlds Deadliest Sausage

crazy to think this is the same man who was adamant about not wanting to do a fog machine juice sausage on account of it being literal poison

Misread that as methanol sausage thinking he finally lost it .

"I don't think we're gonna overpower the whole sausage with this" I don't think you could possibly be less correct

"It's literal poison! I'll give you a synopsis of the ending: bop bop bop, -1 out of 5 because it killed me!" - Mr. Sausage, Candy Apple Sausage, October 2020 It was all foretold.

Mr. Sausage: "When I'm gone, don't remarry!" Mrs. Sausage: already on Tinder.

Fun fact: 21% of this video's runtime is an ad for Helix

this is the only sausage I have seen where I genuinely thought "Oh hell no, please. Don't do this"

Sir sausage, menthol is highly potent in its crystalline form to the point we had to wear gloves and coats during our chem labs for it. My recommendation would be to instead boil or marinate the pork in menthol-water, 10g per 1L. That would give it a pleasant mintyness without the notable poison feeling

This is the closest we're getting to Glass Sausage isn't it

This got me actually cackling and cry laughing, I love you silly sausage man

4:58 Lmao. You can hear the crack of fear, regret, and joy in his voice! XD

"It's not steam, it's smoke" so... now we need the Steamed Hams sausage.

Incoming "This video is unavailable" sausage

Hahahahaha!!!! This has been my favorite episode in a long time. That was absolute gold. 😂

Hey dude! you were the inspiration for me to try and start marking sausages including family old recipes that haven been made in 20-30 years, so thanks for that!

My God I thought he put too much in the grinder AND THEN HE ADDED THE CRYSTALS HELP

“Menthol Crunch” sounds like a terrible breakfast cereal.

Im glad i read the title and saw who uploaded the video, i legit thought since methhead had posted a video and i randomly got it in my feed.

The amount he used was legitimately dangerous. I hope he didnt get sick.

Me seeing the title: Huh...this seems like a bad idea. Me towards the end: I did not want to be this correct in how bad of an idea this was.

This is the first episode that's made me legitimately worried for Mr. Sausage's safety

Ive been here since the beginning mr sausage and idk if it was just the mood I was in or what but I laughed harder at this than anything Ive seen in a long long time 😂

I'm glad you survived this.

"I think captain pork's gonna have to push this load out" is a sentence I never knew I never wanted to hear.

Absolutely incredible. The first negative score, take that big pharma.

Shocked the whole crystals didn't tear the casing on the Newport sausage

Chemical sausage is a very promising new, unexplored class of sausage

He’s getting unhinged

BE CAREFUL Menthol can become lethal in super high quantities like that!

"Is menthol flammable?" According to Google: "Menthol is flammable and can form explosive mixtures with air when heated intensely." so uh...yeah

ive never seen one look SO DEADLY even the will it blow didnt do too great

What a great idea it was to put AN UNFILTERED ALCOHOL COMPOUND on a hot griddle with oil

I'm not much of a talk-to-my-TV kind of guy, but I let out an audible "noooo" when he threw in some extra crystals for crunch

I put off watching this episode because I saw the menthol crystals and got anxious. Ol’ boy almost took himself off the census with a sausage lol

it is absolutely a miracle this one didn't burst immediately

For a second, I read the title as 'Methanol Sausage'.

This is a moment in history. It's like watching Wrestling with Wregret when he first debuted his first negative start rating. You are a gem, Sausage Man.

That was the most terrified "here we go!" I've ever heard from Mr. Sausage.

its not the content we needed or wanted, but gosh darn it, its the content we deserved.

Hoooo buddy im glad you're seemingly alright. That was absolutely a lethal amount of menthol in that sausage.

all I want in life is to hear him just after one of these videos talking to his wife in his normal voice and he's like "oh my god it smells so fucking bad"

HA!!! I have those same crystals off my restaurants food vendor. We usually rim our margarita glass rims with it

Off all the sausage he has made I didn't expect this to be the one to completely break him

"Mrs. Sausage, when I'm gone: don't remarry!" Look, despite how much I was laughing while watching this, please be more careful -- this joke could have been serious! That sausage tasted like poison because it WAS poison with that much menthol!

The wide world of chemical sausages has been opened to us

The scariest episode yet.
