What's inside the cap of effervescent vitamin C tablets?

- I'd always thought that the cap of these tubes of fizzing orange drink tablets contained a moisture absorbing cement or something, so I decided to explore further....
Sighing and *then* pouring the silica all over the goddamn table. Glorious
It's the natural course of things.
This is next level.
Like that time when he drew a penis on the back of his hand, and then thought about what he'd done.
@@FroggyMosh They looked like fairly fine particles to me.
it had to be done-
No circuit diagram? I'm disappointed.
Yeah me too
I've taken a few minutes to analyze it and this is what I've come up with:

No he's 100% Serious
That's the secret extra vitamins they put in to reward the observant.
Huss Otters that’s illegal
Cooper_. 0 lol what?!?!
Jesus some kid is gonna read this and end up at the hospital
I accidentaly put it into my asshole and now it's all red
Thwy give u super powers kids
"Ooohhh, okay..." It's as though you could visualise the despair.
Thank you for biting the bullet on this one and saving all of us the trouble of silica gel getting spread around everywhere.
this is the most concise video i've ever seen on this channel. no diagrams or anything
...to boldly go where no man has gone before
There are some mysteries that should remain unanswered.
I did the exact same thing when I was 7. But never thought that others might want to watch :) thanks for the trip down memory lane!
I seriously have no clue why youtube recommended this to me
OR why I clicked on it
Bigclivedotcom is a great and addicting channel. You might learn a thing or two about circuitry if you watch long enough, simply by osmosis.
@@poot111111 I wish that were true. So far I didn't notice any osmosis effect. But I do know not to buy Chinese water heaters or anything else with high current.
Good for u
watch his flambeaux doll video. It’s even better
I feel you
Ah Clive, answering questions we didn't even know we had. Love it!
Thanks for doing that. I have been wondering about this for decades, but never had a screwdriver handy to try this myself......
what happens if you take a large container of glitter and spread it around the house?
+jusb1066 I would also like to know this. Clive? Care to volunteer your home?
+jusb1066 I can answer that one... You randomly find glitter for at least a year. Likely longer but I cannot confirm as the longest between incidents has only ever been 1 year (birthday to birthday of my just turned 6yr old girl).
Glitter is the herpes of the arts and crafts world...
You aint gettin rid of it XD
+Tony K lol
On a similar note, I still find cat hair from a cat I owned three years ago at a different address.
I find them really useful for keeping steel tools and cutters super dry in the workshop
I remember being fascinated by these as a kid, but indeed as you discovered, just full of messy silica gel and not the futuristic technologies I was imagining as an 8 year old.
I can’t believe I found another straight to the point video. Bless you
First time I'm interested about something UA-cam recommended to me
Ive been watching you on and off for weeks in my suggestions. This one got me to hit sub. Well played sir.
Brilliant, I'm now upstairs and must now go downstairs to check if my effervescent tablets have this. I've never noticed.
Thanks for the public service and sacrifice.
i like this video,because there is no flimflam,sandbagging,and no long chattering!,all you do is do a quick chat,then you get on with the main stuff!
Jesus mate I was literally dying to find out thank you soooo much!!!
You went straight to the point. ❤️❤️
Thankyou for doing this so we don't have to. A true hero.
short and straight to the point. love it
Years back I did the same thing, except I didn't do it infront of a table and had a fun time cleaning that shit off the floors and finding small pieces here and there years later.
My Mum gave these 'empty' tubes to Her granddaughter to 'play' with. When we found she had discovered and probably ingested some of the silica gell we panicked but after calling A&E it was deemed to be not overtly poisonous and after monitoring closely for 48 hours all seemed and continues to look ok. Phew!
Oh hope the child was much better..mine just injested it now and was kind of worried
I also just inadvertently consumed together with Vitamin C.
Where would we be without Big Clive teaching us the important things in life!
Could this be the best video in UA-cam? Answers the question in the title in 47 sec!!
You don’t see sht like this often around here
LOL, that voice at 0:32 ... Priceless :O
The tubes are excellent for keeping change for parking meters in your glove-box once you've removed the odd plastic spiral bit.
I just got recommended this and now I'm more educated than most people have ever been in the world
Wow... straight to the point... haven't seen a video like that in a long time
I find those a lot more exciting to eat on their own, like a foaming explosion although it gets quite messy
That's a thing I never thought of, thank you UA-cam recommendations for teaching me this fact
Finally a good youtube video without talking too much
Thank you for doing the research now I won't make a mess!
Well, the old Barocca (same manufacturer, Roche) tubes (the Al ones, not the new plastic ones) had what seemed to be a clay wafer. I dug it out as I too was curious and it was just a hard puck which crumbled under sheer force.
I love this video, straight to the point.
Same here and it was only a matter of time... thanks for saving me a cleanup :D

If the vitamin C doesn't prevent your cold you could stuff the silica gel up your nose to stop it running! Double value.
If i fill a huge jar with that instead of trowing it away will it suck up moisture from the air?
+Gothika_47's Highlights You can buy silica gel desiccant bags for that purpose. They can even be dried and reused with an oven at a low heat. But they are only suitable for small spaces.
Well i have lots of the caps so ill just use them and test if they work in a wardrobe.
I removed the silica once and if you let the tablets age for a couple months they get weird because putting them all into a glass will inevitably result in somewhere around 20 minutes of violent foam
Moisture absorbing silica gel beads. Keeps your tablets from turning into mush over time. Simple yet effective solution.
Are they poisoning if the child accidentally eat it? Seriously.
Give this man a million views
When a BigCliveDotCom video is under a minute... You know something went sideways in a hurry.
Thank you, now I can sleep well with empty mind.
I bought a pack of DRYPACK dehumidifier (or something that looks similar) that suppose to keep the windshield clean inside during winter. It sucked itself so full of moist that when i removed it from the car the water was drippling down to the rubber car mat (and everywhere else). It seems some chemical had dissolved to that water since the water is greasy and just stubbornly stays on the mat instead of oozing away. It has been weeks since and i am still waiting the water droplets to disappear from the mat.
I thought you were going to talk about the spring... I guess this is much more interesting
the things you do for our knowledge. thx :)
well first time youtube reccomended something which is worth knowing
Five years later, UA-cam decided it's time for me to watch this again.
No volt meter readings or back engineering or diagram or blowing it up
I'll sleep better knowing this big guy!
You can re- use silica gel by drying it in the oven or the microwave
Your voice is something else.
Haha, this always bothered my curious mind...thanks!
Thanks. Have always been curious
These vitamin tabs are great for avoiding hangovers, after a heavy session pop a tab in a pint of water and drink it before going to bed.
I opened that when I was around 5 or 6 years old, it was very fun at the time
I used to remove that little cardboard cap and pour the silica gel back into the tube, then annoy everyone with my homemade shaker.
LOL - I love the "ohhhhh..." at 0:33
You can buy pure ascorbic acid powder online or from the large health food retailers in large jars for a very cheap price. No fizz, no sweeteners, but near enough a lifetime supply at the same dose you get from these or other pills.
First thing I did when I finished a pack. I still haven't found a use for the springy plastic cap yet but there must be one.
Haven't used these for ages, but I'd say it keeps the tabs in place during transportation. After you purchase the tube and take one tab, it's up to you not to shake it badly
silica gel a damp preventative but not sure if this does just that in these tubes of tablets
Couldn’t the container get crushed or dropped and dislodge the paper cap and poison the end user?
Thanks Clive 🙏🏻
Can these chemicals be used to protect your electronics?
lol love the final remark!
Great, now I have an intense craving for one of these fizzy orange drinks (that taste like nothing like oranges), but it's 3AM and there's nowhere for me to get one. Damn you Clive!
Well i never lol, i find the white vitamin/pill containers quite handy for on the spot bodging, joining wires in them and containing loose pcbs for car use, and the lid snaps nicely shut :-) ive found the film containers for real cameras handy too :-D
A temp job stays temp, but it wont fall apart :-)
20 years ago when I asked myself the same question, I found inside some blueish-indigo crystals instead of silica gel. I wonder what substance that was. I could Google it...but..... OK, I'll Google it.
well done Clive
Now the room is 20% less humid! :D
You get nifty top caps on your efferve--Efer--Eff...FIZZY TASTE THINGS. Ours here in the States are just a boring interference fit plastic bubble. No desiccant. :[
It's called sillika gel. It used for collecting moisture.
Thank you for this knowledge
I have some "wellmans boost fizz " tablet things supposed to help you with fatigue but i did not feel any different but the packaging they came in had the same silica gel filth in the top to prevent moisture.
I also have found some of it in my powder based asthma inhaler and i have like a bag of silica gel you shove into the car to try deal with moisture issues which you can microwave in order to remove the moisture absorbed by it , I wonder if this stuff could be microwaved up.
+steve64464 Both microwave and normal oven is supposed to work: qqjky.qjhbf.servertrust.com/v/vspfiles/info/Silica%20Gel.pdf
I remember when trying to heat it with a lighter and it sorta popped/exploded but then again that's a entirely different temperature level/heating method.
I think you also find a small pack of this in hard drives sometimes in the filter.
You could fill the tube up with 3v button cells and make a hv battery for something.
The *one* question I've always wanted to know the answer to.
Opened these years back but forgot what's in it
This is brilliant
Neat? I think. I mean... it's a product that fizzes when wet. That really doesn't take much thought to assume what it was.
Listen here old man. My 8 year old self already ripped the thing open and checked what was inside. That was 18 years ago.
👋🏼
I'm going to guess silica since they don't add those cloth bags in there any more
Which microscope do you use in your videos? You know that little black one?
I'm sure it used to be iron filings?
Done that before, made that same mess. Hahaha you made me laugh though
That's a beautiful knife. Pls tell more about knife.
neat, now if I need a bit of silica gel I know where to find it
For a moment there I thought we were finally going to learn the true whereabouts of Jimmy Hoffa!
When I was a kid I was always wondering for what reason they always put these little balls (packed in a paper bag) in the shoes :)
We can use that inside a bag and put a wet mobile with it yo absorb the moisters
0:36 Why did you do that?
You even sound annoyed now you'll have to clean it up
Poor impulse control :D
That Guy a
the tastiest part if the vitamin tablets are the hidden spheres.
You mean you're not supposed to add that to your drink?
When you wash the lid the cardboard goes off and you'll see it, long time I was curious about it, lol
The silica gel is an accelerant for the vit C
LOL! BigClive dealing with the crap so we don't have to :o)
Clive, you really need to get out more! (There again I keep watching) :)
