  • Some people take so much sugar in their tea and coffee that you'd think it couldn't dissolve. Rob reveals an unexpected outcome of sweetening your drinks to extreme.

    The explanation where he says that sugar molecules go in between the water molecules is extremely important to understand chemistry (A whole lot of it).
    I learned that during my 2nd year in UG.

    He didn't answer the question. What's the maximum amount of sugar that can dissolve in 1 cup of water?????

      I believe that’s what he was talking about with ‘You can only have 30’

      Yeah, about a cup. Limited by volume.

      @rastacoon5962 Před 5 lety +4

      Well what he essentially made was simple syrup (used in cocktails) but you can make double strength simple syrup (2 parts sugar one part water) and it'll still dissolve, sugar and water are cheap so I'd suggest you experiment (for a bit of fun) or google (for exact answers).

    • @hoon_sol
      @hoon_sol Před 2 lety +4

      It depends on temperature, but around room temperature you can dissolve ~200 grams of sugar in 100 ml of water; since a certain volume of sugar weighs ~0.8 of the same volume of water, that means you can dissolve ~2.5 cups of sugar in 1 cup of water.

    I can't believe people would put 5 teaspoons of sugar in a cup of tea. You might as well drink Coke if you're going to drown out the tea flavour with sugar. I was brought up thinking that 2 teaspoons of sugar in coffee was indulgent, and tea was generally 1 teaspoon of sugar max.

    Just how I like my TV: simple and inoffensive.
    There's a compilation of early 80s Adelaide ads, back when ad breaks were brief and no louder than the programme.
    Experiment is interesting, commenters mentioned you can dissolve 6.25 the amount of sugar as you have water, to create a syrup.

      Australia as well as in Europe, Asia and Australasia (14 countries) from
      1972-1990. Deane and Rob intentionally used everyday items around the house
      (like old cans) so that children could repeat the demonstrations with materials
      they had to hand. In 1984 Curiosity Show won the Prix Jeunesse International,

    This must have been what, 1975-1980? And this bloke's like in his 30s? I find it fascinating that the "British Australian" accent is so strong in people born in the 40s and 50s, but a decade later it had pretty much vanished and is much closer to the everyday accent we hear today.

      Sugar doesn't cause diabetes, that's a common misconception. Diabetes is a rise in blood sugar due to improper sugar metabolism, most often caused by fat and toxic fat metabolites interfering with the action of insulin.

    Sugar is energy... calories... electrons... which have the same charge and repel each other... this is why people are fat...they claim it's genetic...this... that... but at the end of the day it's sugar ...fat your body makes as a response to the sugar are electrons as well...but they are spinning in the opposite direction which causes them to attract each other... calories are heat... friction between your molecules and the atmosphere is burning energy and why they say to exercise...this causes more friction because light is both poles of magnetism...so your molecules are are getting the opposite from the atmosphere and the light...they are literally stealing your electrons by magnetism...which lowers the density of your body...and things that are less dense weigh less because weight is because of the opposite charges that attract each other between 2 objects...the size of the Earth is so big that your changes in mass are not noticeable... your weight never stays the same ever... you are always gaining or losing mass at the smallest time scales...

    The real question is, why didn’t he use actual measurements?
    What was the volume of the water he began with? What was the mass of the sugar? Saying shit like “a cup of tea” and “x number of not uniform spoonfuls of sugar” isn’t scientific...which I thought was the purpose of this video.

    • @bur1t0

      Then you've never had good tea : )
      There are so many types and flavors that there MUST be one you would enjoy.
      If it's the bitterness that turns you off try going for a green tea instead of black. If that still isn't your "cup of tea" try a white tea (I highly recommend a well blended white...although expensive).
      Beyond traditional teas there are dozens (hundreds?) Of herbal teas as well.
      Tea is fascinating in both its flavor and ritual.
      Enjoy : )
