Hi Dua Lipa
Did this experiment when I was a kid, but didn't know how fragile it was until I slammed it on the floor
Not the sharpest crayon in the carton, eh?
I would do that too.
@@togden88 what does that mean ?
@@thewhatever993 It means that they are saying that the commenter is not particularly the smartest when they were a kid. Basically the kid version of ‘not the sharpest knife in the drawer’.

I wonder if this method could be used to deep-fry an egg
You’re a genius

He's too dangerous to be left alive !
Wouldnt that explode
Why not deep-fry a boiled egg?
This is a very VERY rare occasion where you CAN try what Nigel is doing at home.
The cool thing is, eggs without shells occasionally occur naturally! Every so often, when a bird is developing an egg, the shell simply doesn't form due to a variety of factors.
That sounds cool!
I’ve seen that at my friend’s house! He keeps chickens. It was really cool
The last egg my last chicken ever laid was shelless. Funny, but also the neighbor's dog slaughtering your chickens isn't.
I have chickens and i found an egg with a VERY weak shell. it was like it did not have a shell. but it did. just weak and squishy.
@The Salty Ralts
Train your chickens to slaughter your neighbor's dogs.

Ok, this is definitely the best intro to a UA-cam video I've seen in my life. And I've been literally living on UA-cam for 10 years.
I was thinking the same thing. Only Nigel would ever say this sentence.
It doesnt hold a candle to "Today, I decided to dissolve my Weiner in acid"

"It's kind of just a firm, but squishy sack"

I really love the fact that you pointed out that it's fragile and demonstrated how much of a mess it can do if you think of it as an actual bouncy ball
Trust me, I tried it when I was a kid, and splatter egg on a society's main entrance and was scolded a lot xD because I thought we could use it to play catch
I once watched a tv show where they did this and I was eager to try this out. In the video they used the egg as a bouncy ball throwing it on the ground from standing height. Needless to say I was pretty disappointed when the egg didn't bounce back up again and just splattered all over the kitchen floor...

The chemistry department at my college recently had an open house where we did science demonstrations for the community, and this was one of the demonstrations that we did. If you add alcohol (we used isopropyl) to the calcium acetate solution it forms a gel that is highly flammable. From what I understand, the water molecules in the solution surround the calcium and acetate ions, preventing them from interacting with one another. When isopropanol is added the concentration of H2O is decreased to the point where the interactions between the two ions are favored and they begin to form a web-like system of interactions that forms a gel at the macroscopic scale. Just thought that was a fun part two of this experiment to share with anybody who might wanna try it for themselves
The best part of this comment is that if you read it fast enough it sounds like someone just saying a bunch of scientific words to sound smart, but it does actually have meaning

I remember as a kid seeing an episode of Beakman's World where they did something like this. Got some vinegar a jar with a lid and placed and egg in it. Over a week or so later, I got it out for it to be just like this. Blew my mind as a kid and got me in to science. It also stunk so bad.
That show. Holy crap. Would buy a Blu Ray of it today.
Finally someone on the internet mentions Beakman. I saw an episode of it when I was a kid and never saw Bill Nye, but as an adult Bill Nye was the only science show people would reminisce about.
Third the mighty Beakman. He actually guested on one of Captain Dissolution's UA-cam videos. Yeah and Bill Nye is a hack
I bet the Chinese love it. Saves them waiting 100 years for an egg to mature.
I love this experiment. before I even watch this video, I made the bouncy egg and then, cooked it, ate it and
it tasted disgusting.
Well it was soaking in vinegar for two days
I like pickled eggs so now I'm genuinely curious if this tastes similar or just gross; I know a lot of people dislike regular pickled eggs. Goddamn, now I'm gonna have to try it...
@@bubblegumbunny When people pickle eggs, they boil the eggs first. I cannot stress this enough: do NOT under any circumstances eat a raw unshelled egg that has been sitting out for two days. Even though it was in vinegar. Even if you cook it afterwards.
@@nicholasbrown5572what if you keep it refrigerated?
@@oxybrightdark8765 If refrigerated, it would be just as safe to eat as any other raw egg you keep in the fridge. Shelled or unshelled, IE a pretty minor health risk for most people.
We did this in 4th Grade. Mrs. Lund said try not to break it. The salt water ones were mostly fine, but SO MANY PEOPLE broke the vinegar ones. Just goes to show how thin they are.
I’m a sophomore now.
"It's kind of just a firm but squishy sac."
Same, Nile. Same.
Lol 😆
Nile.exe has been infected with OutOfContext.exe
I did some experiments with dissolving eggshells a few months-- years?-- back! Specifically about eating them, hard boiled, and how/if the order of boiling & dissolving changed anything, how the flavor changed between vinegar or citric acid, etc.
Control: normal egg, sat in water for the days the others sat in food safe acid solutions. Tasted & felt normal.
Pre dissolved shell: intensely flavored with the acid used to dissolve the shell, never got the thick rubbery consistency of a typical hard boiled egg despite going way over the usual necessary time for it. Only difference between vinegar & citric acid was the flavor / presence or lack of undissolved crystals, bc my citric acid is stored dry. Both were slightly larger as you mention in this video.
Boiled then dissolved: size remained the same as the control group/ before dissolving. The whole egg tasted of the dissolving acid agent, but unevenly-- the outside bit of the egg tasted more of it than the inside, iirc. Again, little different between the vinegar and citric acid.
Conclusion: as a way to get around having to peel the shell off a boiled egg, dissolving it off isn't practical unless you want your eggs to taste pickled 😂
Underrated comment. Thank you for sharing your experiment!

I wonder what happens if you follow that with adding a food-safe base

0:49 thats what she said
🤨
Who's that she?
In our culture, we cook boiled eggs in highly concentrated vinegar with some other foods and the resulting stew is super high in calcium content and people always make these for people who have just given birth (to recover lost minerals). Tastes super good as well :)
I'm not a woman, but I've already had those and I love them!
Ah yes, the Mutant Germ culture
Give up that recipe homie
We have the same thing from where I come from.
Many american chefs recommend putting some salt and vinegar in the water when boiling. Apparently it prevents cracking/leaking and makes it easier to remove the shell afterward
I got jumpscared by that egg exploding I legitimely blinked got a bit away from the screen bc of that
We learned that in science class

It's so interesting that the membrane didn't dissolve like the shell did, that shows how such a thin thing could protect an entire egg.
00:30 caught in 4k
The sound when the part holding it all together hit the ground was gold.
I remember doing this in science class as part of learning about osmosis when I was a kid. After the eggs lost their shells in the vinger we measured their mass and circumference, we put them into distilled water, corn syrup, and brine for a day or two afterward and did the same.
The exact same for me. I'm surprised to see these comments that seem to suggest people have never done this, school budgets have been tight since I was 10 years old but this is probably the cheapest classroom experiment you can do.
@@SerenadeURA Yet they put a million excuses to why kids cannot do these types of things at school: "it's going to cause a mess", "it could be dangerous", "we have to follow the district curricular objectives", "kids are going to throw them at each other", "teachers are overloaded with work", "teachers don't like this".

You mean ... EGGsperiments?:')
I did that experiment for my middle school science experiment in the 90s! Except I hard boiled the egg first. Then I put it in vinegar. I can still remember the smell.
Love that sad slap of the thin egg membrane hitting the floor at the end.
I remember my brother chasing a chicken at a friends house and it - in its panic - laid this exact type of egg. It was weird and squishy.
This is because a bird egg only gets the hard shell if it's allowed to slowly pass through the bird's body - the shell is formed by adding layers of mineral salts over the soft membrane. If a bird lays a soft, partially or fully shell-less egg, it's either stressed out, didn't get enough minerals with its food or is ill/old and its body no longer forms the shell properly.
@@sofija1996 thats actually really cool
@@sofija1996 oh I can guarantee this chicken was stressed out of its mind for like 5 minutes
Despite what it sounds like, we weren’t torturing it. He wanted to hold it, it was okay afterwards.
You can actually do this with bones and they become really squishy.
that'll be the most cursed thing ever
The most mind-blowing video I've ever seen on youtube.... and it's about an egg. Who would have thought lol
The date on the egg immediately let me know smth was about to go down
I anticipated it being satisfyingly smooshed but the slap of the membrane hitting the floor absolutely got me 😂
I tried this experiment in 7th grade. I was so amazed by how soft it was and slammed it on my desk like it was a squishy...
This is awesome, I had just learned about ocean acidification and this is a great example of the acid dissolving the calcium I'm show this to my teacher thanks
I remember doing this in middle school! It was really fun. We also colored them with food dye.

😅😅
i feel like we did this in the grade school I went to. Mans is bringing back some DEEP forgotten memories I didnt even know I still had!
I work at an egg farm, and it's actually not uncommon for chickens to lay eggs like this.
My mom keeps a small (~20) flock of hens for eggs and on that scale it usually happens if the birds are sick, old or not supplemented with enough calcium - same with thinned or fragile shells.
Can the chicks survive to be born if the membrane stays in tact?

@@saitama5151 why tho
I like to think that whoever discovered this just really wanted a vinegar-flavoured egg, but then they forgot about it, and then they tried to eat it a couple days later and accidentally dropped it.

Random Person: So what's your favorite toy?
NileRed:
ok it's confirmed, he's become the chemistry how-to-basic
I remember doing this in 7th grade science class, leaving an egg overnight in vinegar, our teacher had one that he left in for a week and it was brown and almost solid
I was waiting for him to do that. Very satisfied.
0:39 i listened to the sound you make here about 30 times and i don't know why
After submerging the whole egg in vinegar, I wonder if any vinegar passed through the amniotic sac? Would it taste different?
Fairly certain that yes, it would. Eggs tend to soak up flavors pretty easily, even with the shell still intact.
If you're gonna put eggs in vinegar though you might as well hardboil them and add in some spices, whole peppercorns dill and sugar are a solid start :p
I tried this once and cooked it afterwards .. it tasted very strongly of vinegar and was very juicy
might make a cool salad topping :P
i've done this sorta thing once at school
but we crumbled the shell ourselves instead of letting the shell completely disappear
you make it so simple but yet it is so hard
I love the subtle chaotic energy his videos radiate
could this theoretically be used to make pre-peeled hard boiled eggs, or does the vinegar do something to the yolk too?
It's probably gonna taste like vinegar.
but would it?
im intrigued.
@@iamtheonethatwonagain8354
Well, it's a simple experiment to replicate, and quite safe to do at home. Just put an egg into a glass of vinegar until the shell is dissolved, then cook it and taste it.
Keep in mind you are working with cooking ingredients, so results can be generally assumed to be safe unless a known issue is ignored (such as undercooking meats or ingredients known to be poisonous when raw).
its cant sadly cuz the once the vinegar is gone it just becomes a normal egg, this happens because the membrane of the egg is mixing with the stuff in vinegar and expanding the shell, the shell is never theoritically gone its just soft becuz of the vinegar
@@novygg4274 no?????? The shell is dissolved not softened.
