  • This video shows you what happens to a glass of Coca Cola Original (regular coke) and a glass of Coca Cola Zero if you leave them out for a long time. A thick gooes sugary syrup remained after 100 days in the regular coke glass, and the coke zero almost completely evaporated during this time.

    Amazing to see the different fungal assemblages that developed - and the Coke Zero completely evaporated to yield a dry glass, whereas the original coke didn't, even after three months! Would have also been very interesting to watch what happened after you poured the residual Coke syrup into the Coke Zero glass, and added water, when you let THAT evaporate over a couple months, with the combined non-aqueous components of the two varieties mixed. But still, this was awesome to watch! Thanks!

    Kind of surprised the mold took hold in the Zero first. But then it took off in the Coke I guess because it had much more sugar to work with. It would be interesting to do this experiment testing the Ph daily to see how it effected the growth. My theory is that the Zere went flat first and so its acidity dropped to what was tolerable.

      The size of the initial mould colony is going to be high variance, as it came from the cup and/or the ice cubes. What section of the freezer the ice cubes were in, or how far to the back of the cupboard the cup came from will make a big difference in how large the initial mould growth is.

    I don't know much about mould, is it possible that the differences between. The 2 are partially or largely due to the luck of which mould spores fell into each glass or do their different compositions always attract the same types of mould? I guess you would have to have 2 or 3 glasses of each to demonstrate that it was a consistent repeatable effect.

  • @EthanH1

    One thing I’ve always wondered about these is what would happen if you just let the mold sit indefinitely. Once all of the moisture dries up and all of the sugar is consumed, the mold would theoretically die, right? And then would it just be dust?

    • @alicewright4322
      @alicewright4322 Před rokem +17

      yes, without moisture the mold cannot defend itself and will be oxidized into oblivion by the sun and the air.
      but the mold changes color before that: spore release - those spores are often resistant to dessication, and can sit dormant for years, until they land in another glass of pop or other suitable substrate. some molds actively disperse them in the air.
      the green stuff on the left is clearly mold spores which spread in the air.
      some mold can just break off fibers that float around without specialized sexual spores.
      some molds form dessication resistant masses called sclerotia too.
