      It was just the ethanol burning, not the table. I've lit my hands on fire the same way. It's too hot to allow to continue for more than a couple of seconds, but not hot enough to char wood, I think.

    Interestingly, one of the reasons whale oil was so valuable as a lubricant as late as the 1970s, was because it wouldn’t change viscosity much, even at extremely high and low temperatures. That made it consistent, which was important for machine and vehicle oils.

      Whale oil is legendary stuff, I still remember the old codgers bang on about how good it was. The fella that introduced black powder to me used to say in his younger day that it was the only product he needed to do everything from rust protection to saturating patches. Maybe one day they'll industrialise whale fat cells and produce it ethically if they can't find something better by then.

      Also how you want to taste the different flavors of the ingredients layered together instead of totally combined, as if they’d already been chewed up. That’s not a thing with thickened drinks, but it can be if you take a food that’s meant to be solid and turn it into a thick liquid.

I fully understand that it is okay, I just don't like it, but it's sometimes hard to explain to people that I like a taste but not the viscosity. that's why I also understood the female testperson (his wife?) that she did not like it.

  • @VPCh.
    @VPCh. Před 5 měsíci +2

    The thing with thickening agents is that they change the flavor, even when flavorless themselves. Different thickeners have a property called flavor release, which is how easily you can taste the thing it is thickening. Some substances wont enter your taste buds or dissolve in you saliva as easily. For example gelatin has a great flavor release, but xanthum gum has a very poor flavor release.
    And since it impacts different molecules differently, it can change the balance of flavors. That soft drink that you are used to is going to taste weird when some of the flavors are missing.
    The same goes for cold vs warm drinks due to their different thicknesses. Soft drinks are designed to be drunk cold or at room temperature, a drink left in a hot car will taste too sweet and too strongly flavored (not even getting into the issue of CO2 solubility).

      It may be but, just like colors, people really perceive flavors differently. Green is actually a color, a subjective property, frequency of light is not. Color depends on contexts (colors around the object, intensity of light, etc). People are not standardized machines, each person has a significantly different hardware and software (live experiences). I will not be surprised if some people can taste the chemicals, and I will not be shocked if most of them are women as some studies show that women have a better sense of smell than men.

    • @BrainchildDnB
      @BrainchildDnB Před 5 měsíci +3

      I think it's more likely the incongruence with tasting something very familiar in a different consistency. Some people complain about the viscosity of pudding (for example) but most people just accept that pudding is thick. But substances like Coke or water are very familiar to most people and they already have a strong association in a person's brain about how it should feel. Messing with that perception triggers the disgust.

      I think it is like the kissing game where you swap foods and drinks instead of spit with your partner. Doesn't matter how much I liked my partner, how clean their mouth was, or how into it I was, there was always at least a trace of a gross out to suppress. I think the spity texture triggers an instinct to avoid consuming new germs. Although, in contradiction, I don't find normal spit from a preferred mouth objectionable, maybe even kind of good. Maybe it is the possibility that spity food, inoculated with backwash, might have an overload of them and their toxins.

    Depending on the thickening agent, there can definite be a taste. Xanthan gum (like you've got here) is flavorless, but cellulose or starches can add a distinctive "stale" flavor to thickened liquids and food. if not mixed properly they can also leave a grainy or "bubbly" texture, due to undissolved particles and trapped air.

    1 is density change, and
    2 could differences in expansion create more space between tube walls and the ball allowing water to more easilly move around the ball.
    The second point can become significant where expansion coefficient are significantly different and where the ball's diameter approaches the inner diameter of the tube.
