It is obviously not edible idk where it was made but it's old, covered in some resin and it has some light inside so. I'm gonna watch the video anyways
Literally clicked just to say the videos clickbait 😭😭theres NO way anyone thinks eating a lamp is a good thing to do. but also. people are stupid (also hi fellow person stuck at home, i see you)
This reminds me of a very old controversy in a niche fashion community, where someone was making headdresses with VERY realistic cookies. One day, someone who'd bought one accidentally broke theirs, and crumbs came out. It turns out the artist was, indeed, preserving real cookies in resin. They had to delete their whole etsy store after that came out. The more things change, the more they stay the same!
I think I remember that story!!! When I first started UA-cam, loads of people were obsessed with resin tutorials and there was a trend of covering real food to see how long you can preserve it. This went against the ethos of the deco-den community which was how to create the most realistic food items possible using clay, silicone and non-edible materials. I was obviously in the second camp and I recall the drama between deco den crafters vs resin artists 😂
I LITERALLY JUST LEFT A COMMENT ABOUT THIS HOLY GUAC AND MOLE I remember this from forever ago and maaaaan the old internet was a lawless place. The new internet is Marshall law I guess but still. Wild wild wild
@@fractionofstuff Hardened epoxy resin, especially cheap stuff like the one used in the creation of this Temu croissant lamp in China, is not safe to eat at all and it is toxic. Some more expensive types of resin used in the manufacturing of cutlery, could be considered safe for food when hardened fully.
When it was mentioned that this was a knock off of a luxury lamp I thought the luxury one was going to be some hyper realistic artist. But no, its still bread. I assume and hope the expensive one is properly resin infused, but I wouldn’t ever risk buying something like this tbh.
Yeah the original artist doesn't quite use old stale bread; more like unsold leftovers from the day thus still decently fresh. She actually empties out all the breads and pastries that she buys before treating the "shells". The "fillings" are eaten and/or reused in her cooking/baking and not wasted - it's explained on her IG. Still not sure I'd trust a lamp like that to last for a long time though.
@@offthesidelinesYeah. Even with all that, watching Evan and katelyn try to preserve food in resin over the years has made me wary. I can't imagine this is sustainable
People have this bizarre idea that resin will preserve food indefinitely and it will not PERIOD. The only way you can even get it to mostly preserve it is to throughly dry the item first snd even then it will still slowly change overtime. Its just a waste of food and resin. Food can be composted and the idea we need to do this to "save food that would otherwise be wasted" is absurd.
It can create a seal and prevent stuff getting inside but that does not help much if the food is sealed with live microbes inside and various chemical reactions will still happen, even without microbes, that can degrade the food in some way over time. I really don't understand the purpose of sealing food in resin regardless but i suppose if you want to turn food into a decoration then it somewhat works and some food could probably last many years in resin even if not forever.
You make a valid point. I think it's cool, but I also believe more things should be made to order. People would be more conscious of their purchases and wouldn't waste as much if things weren't mass produced and stored for buyers that don't yet exist.
It’s the definition of “disposable income” 😂 If they got the dough to throw away, they’ll indulge in such ways, but that’s far from your average person these days
Idk if anyone is aware, but something similar happened in the EGL (J-fashion) community forever ago. Someone was selling biscuit shaped jewelry and a buyer noticed crumbs after dropping it. Come to find out that it WAS a real biscuit. It can’t be safe or sanitary so for the love of French baked goods, don’t do this. Begging pleading crying
It's also not "recycling" in any way. The bread is still comestible, so why not just distribute it, and even if it wasn't, using resin to cover it is way worse for the environment than just throwing it out. A friend worked at a factory that made resin sinks, this stuff is horrendous to work with, and the only way to re-use it is by breaking it into small chunks and using it as a filler, in larger resin objects that don't need to look good, or like what that factory did, selling it for cheap to be poured into road bitumen. If the original artist actually cared about anything but profiting from rich dumbasses, they would just throw the bread in a compost and call it a day.

Chemistry Technician here. Just a different perspective on cultivating bacteria using a growth medium, I was taught to use the swab without pouring water on it, and not rotate it 360, but rather do a zigzag pattern on the petri dish.

Edit: Also, if anyone watching the video plans to try this at home, make sure to wear a mask, and to light up a candle between yourself and the petri dishes if possible.

maqaroon, i have watched you since the small needle felting videos years ago, to the squishie videos, to the homemade plushies videos, when i was 15/16, this is the most unhinged thing I have ever seen from you, please keep it up!
Yeah. And the jump cuts to when she “opens the lamp the first time” combined with the fact her lamp doesn’t glow all the way through, how her small scale test crumbled and tore, how difficult it was to hollow out, and the fact that she “found” crumbs after a jump cut where she could have already put in crumbs. Pretty easy to realize that this video is also a fake. She didn’t even get two of the first lamp to show it isn’t a consistent mold.
To be fair, pumpkin is actually really prone to spoilage. For example, pumpkin is very difficult to can safely due to its density and how spoilage bacteria can get that deep. Bread products would be significantly easier to dry out, and it’s probably preferable here, whereas a dried pumpkin wouldn’t make a good jack o lantern.
There's no way chemicals and germs wouldn’t have leeched into that bread, and why would you want to buy one of these, let alone eat it? I feel old. I don't understand why the latest trendy things are trendy.
I think the original croissant lamp was layered with resin before they pull out all of its gut. so the walls can be thin while also easy to work with at the same time.
i watched this video before bed and when i fell asleep i had the most delicous dream i was eating these croissant lamps except they were covered in crunchy sugar
I'm now wondering if you could give the cheap lamp a glow-up (with paint or pastels plus a top coat) so that people are not relying on bread as their lighting source
I'm a lolita and there once was a taobao brand that made a cookie biscuit jsk. The little barette was literally a biscuit that they painted with resin! If you're not careful you can snap it in half and it'll crumb
as a microbiology nerd, i would've loved to see the bacteria colonies put under the microscope and to do a comparison based off that but other than that this was a very informative and interesting video! thank you for doing this ❤️
If I'm honest I'm impressed. When I first saw the tiktok I was in disbelief.. How and why would they do that.. But it actually requires precision and talent to make them as good as they look. And I have respect for that! The only thing is I wouldn't want ants in my home 😬 pretty sure that happens when the resin didnt fully cover all areas.
Piercing the agar like that would've given my professor a heart attack haha. We were taught to swab it side-to-side, use the pour method, or use the streak plate method. Never seen this before - will it give optimal results?
Good and thorough investigation! Im impressed you even pull out the microbial kit. As someone who loves baking bread I can guarantee you the bread is most likely made to be turned into croissant, ie they changed the composition into a more floury dough. whether from the Temu or from the artist, the dough is most likely a customized mix.
If it's not sold specifically as a food item don't consume it, even if it does look convincing enough to look like food. Chances aren't has tons of chemicals in it or plastic or resin.
I'd probably have covered the outside and then cored the inside after the outside was thick enough, that way you don't have to worry about it sagging or breaking and coring it will be easier
i would encase the croissant entirely in resin before opening it up to work on the inside, then you can get that really thin wall to allow the light through before sealing the inside of the bread.
To get even coverage inside and out, hollow it out properly using rotating cutting head tool or carefully by hand and sharp scoop. Then dip entire thing in resin, remove and rotate it to drip off excess resin and hang to dry, repeat for thicker resin layer. If you are making only one then that's a lot of wasted resin, but if you are making 100 or 1000 and just need to refill bucket of resin every 10 dips, it's economical.
What a dumb product. The bread still gets thrown away because it's literally not able to last even in resin. But instead of rotting or being bug food it's covered in hard chemicals and has a solid chunk of plastic in it. Boo.
Something to consider - how did they remove the inside of the croissant. As your experiment revealed, it is very difficult to manually hollow out the croissant without causing damage. It's possible that the resin was applied first and then a chemical process used to remove any bread not adhered to the resin. As there is no need to eat the croissant this could be achieved with non-potable water or an industrial solvent that is safe for the resin, but not for untreated pastry.
People are kinda crazy. If the bread is dry or about to go bad, before it molds, just give it to birds. It's junk food for birds, but, it's still food and birds don't mind if it's dry. lol It's absolutely nuts that something like this is able to be sold as a lamp no matter the price tag. Maybe it wont mold, but I dunno the thought of having basically mummified food as decoration is still weird. If I were to do it, I'd make a 3D scan of real bread, 3D print it and paint it. It should look realistic enough with the right shading.
don't give it to birds!! It's not just junk food, it actually can kill them because they fill up on it when they can't actually get any nutrients from it, and they can end up starving to death. It'd be like eating styrofoam for us. There's tons of things you can do with stale bread though! Bread pudding and french toast were originally intended to reuse stale bread, and even just leaving it to compost and rot is better than covering it with plastic
Do not feed any sort of bread to any type of bird, it’s extremely bad for them. If you are interested in feeding birds, oats, seeds, or barley are much better alternatives. If your bread is old, your bread is old, don’t feed it to animals that can struggle to digest it & fills them up fast leading them to be unable to eat their proper diet. Throw it out or eat it before it goes bad.
@@mayadoodles7906 there's other uses for older bread. garlic bread, bread pudding, stuffing, croutons, etc. sometimes you can reheat it in an oven for a few minute, or microwave for a few seconds, with a little water to refresh it.
I own this, i got it from aliexpress in 2021. I didn't know it's like "a thing" lmaooo it's sitting on my nightstand and has been for years... i love this stupid lamp
Despite the aliexpress one being different in your video, i have the "amazon" one that i did and you just blew my mind i have fucking food in my nightstand helppp
I feel like they coated it in resin before they hallowed it out to coat the inside with resin. It would make more sense to be because it would add some stability to the shell before they started removing the bread. Which, would also help with making the shell as hallow as possible without actually digging straight through. I think if you did that method, it would have been more efficient and accurate.
You should try coating the top/sides of the croissant in resin first letting those harden. Then cut the exposed fresh bottom out, in theory, I believe the reinforced top layer will be resistant to you hollowing it out allowing you to get a thinner layer since the resin will soak into the "details" visible. Ofc at the end finish up with some final resin ( i imagine you could coat the whole thing also ane simply cut a hole to dig out also if you wanted)
The resin used may be either a PUR resin, that cures within a few minutes or UV resin that cures within seconds by using uv light. Maybe the real croissant. was first covered in resin completely and then the hole was made. makes more sense to me.
WaIt, so it was REAL?! 😂 I'm actually shocked that if it had been used for a while....mmmmm, the smell of buttery baked goods and resin. Yummy! The idea is cool but we're seeing in real time why certain things shouldn't be mass produced like this.
Hello meep *What they probably did was put the croissant on cups or wood the size of the hole and pour resin on it before hollowing it out the once that was dry took it off the stand to cut the hole and hollow it out when the croissant had a good hard layer of resin on the outside to hold it then once they scrapped out most the bread, they would put another later inside to harden it more and make it shiny inside too.* Edit: Also, they probably used hot glue mostly for the light, maybe the put it on before the inside was fully cured too.
I remember seeing those lamps by the original designer at a Maison & Objet show (furniture and art exhibition in Paris) i went to years back for a business trip.
I would assume that the hardened resin is considered relatively safe because it is just so hard that it stays in one piece and unlikely to contaminate anything, not that it would actually be safe to consume.
I came into this video expecting it to be very simple, but I was impressed when you started running tests. Then VERY impressed when it suddenly turned into arts and crafts.
i think you would have a lot more success if you was to use resin before cutting the hole in the croissant that way the entire out side of the croissant is hard while the inside is still soft and fluffy meaning you could literally scoop it as if it was a pumpkin
"Its a luxury product and worth the price" sis you just said they were about to toss it out, stop defending what is basically a croissant covered in resin xD would have been much better, if safe, to give to the homeless. Not stick a cheap LED inside then charge 100+ for it. Jeeeesus. You could make this yourself with a youtube tutorial and enough time for a fraction of the cost, literally anyone could x3
Can't believe there are people who legit don't know or care about the differences between "best before" or "expires by" - nevermind thinking both mean "throw the entire thing away, without even checking if it's ok still" Even if it's sealed... Even if its one whole day BEFORE the "expiry date", still fully packaged... She says she just won't eat it... Can't imagine the amount of food people like this just throw away. The amount of TOTALLY OK food, without even a HINT of a problem otherwise..
@@BoboMcBooboyLiterally!! Even milk isn’t labeled with an expiry date (correct me if I’m wrong), it’s a sell by. Sell by dates are for the seller to keep the stock fresh and properly rotated, expires/ best by date is more for the consumer. Highly processed foods like chips, crackers and canned goods can last a very long time without being eaten if they’re kept sealed.

With how long and tedious it is to make a croissant compared to just using a regular plastic mold, this is genuinely surprising to me
Yeah. And the jump cuts to when she “opens the lamp the first time” combined with the fact her lamp doesn’t glow all the way through, how her small scale test crumbled and tore, how difficult it was to hollow out, and the fact that she “found” crumbs after a jump cut where she could have already put in crumbs.
Pretty easy to realize that this video is also a fake.
She didn’t even get two of the first lamp to show it isn’t a consistent mold.

Someone call Evan and Kate, Temu found a way of preserving the pumpkin
To be fair, pumpkin is actually really prone to spoilage. For example, pumpkin is very difficult to can safely due to its density and how spoilage bacteria can get that deep. Bread products would be significantly easier to dry out, and it’s probably preferable here, whereas a dried pumpkin wouldn’t make a good jack o lantern.
There's no way chemicals and germs wouldn’t have leeched into that bread, and why would you want to buy one of these, let alone eat it? I feel old. I don't understand why the latest trendy things are trendy.
don’t worry lol i’m a teenager and i don’t get it either.
Same here, people are going beserk i swear
I think the original croissant lamp was layered with resin before they pull out all of its gut. so the walls can be thin while also easy to work with at the same time.
why would anything from temu be safe to eat😔😔
i watched this video before bed and when i fell asleep i had the most delicous dream i was eating these croissant lamps except they were covered in crunchy sugar
I'm now wondering if you could give the cheap lamp a glow-up (with paint or pastels plus a top coat) so that people are not relying on bread as their lighting source
Maybe doing the outside first makes cutting the croissant easier and the doing the inside as a second step of the resin process.
I'm a lolita and there once was a taobao brand that made a cookie biscuit jsk. The little barette was literally a biscuit that they painted with resin! If you're not careful you can snap it in half and it'll crumb
Youre a WHAT

This is the kinda unhinged stuff I live for
Throughout the video I wanted you to crush the Temu croissant just like the original video. Idk why but I find it so satisfying
5:33 new fear unlocked
I wonder if the crunch from crushing a croissant lamp is satisfying
as a microbiology nerd, i would've loved to see the bacteria colonies put under the microscope and to do a comparison based off that
but other than that this was a very informative and interesting video! thank you for doing this ❤️
If I'm honest I'm impressed. When I first saw the tiktok I was in disbelief.. How and why would they do that.. But it actually requires precision and talent to make them as good as they look. And I have respect for that! The only thing is I wouldn't want ants in my home 😬 pretty sure that happens when the resin didnt fully cover all areas.
3:20 tried smelling my phone...
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I SMELL IT
Did it work?
This is totally something I would do 😅
Wait I rlly smell it😭
4:35 interesting, i have never seen that technique been used once in all my time at university
I’ve always seen it or done it as a side to side motion that covers the whole area.
Piercing the agar like that would've given my professor a heart attack haha. We were taught to swab it side-to-side, use the pour method, or use the streak plate method. Never seen this before - will it give optimal results?
when i saw the title i was very confused 😂
2:15 if hollow, it’s impossible they were injection molded. More likely blow molded.
1:04 jesus christ €110?? no wonder temu came to power
I think using old stale bread, and even drying it further, is key for this process.
damn, I used to watch you a ton when I was kid.. turned 18 a couple months ago, happy to see you’re still around :)
7:20 German jumpscare
Good and thorough investigation! Im impressed you even pull out the microbial kit. As someone who loves baking bread I can guarantee you the bread is most likely made to be turned into croissant, ie they changed the composition into a more floury dough. whether from the Temu or from the artist, the dough is most likely a customized mix.
The baker who spent all their time baking the croissant and seeing it get used to make a lamp: 🙁
To be fair most bakery products are produced in large quantities so it doesn't really matter...
@@myonmyonmyon i know but the concept of a man selling a croissant he made and it being turned into a lamp is funny
Or
"......what the H-????"
As a chef....I wouldn't even be mad lol. I'd be ecstatic it isn't getting thrown away after a week lol....lots of health code violations ofc.
As long as they get a lot of money...
who in their right mind would eat a resin real croissant, like resin is toxic
natural selection at work
20$ is 20$
You say that, and yet alcohol is toxic xD
@@MaakaSakuranbo bro u rlly compare resin with alcohol??
@@akishiro1 Both are toxic substances, yes. We just decided one seems funny to drink
My question is... Why would you eat a lamp 😭✋🏻
Midnight munchies?
"quality looks amazing and its worth the price tag"
Girl it's a croissant lamp
*Common sense left the chat.*
If it's not sold specifically as a food item don't consume it, even if it does look convincing enough to look like food. Chances aren't has tons of chemicals in it or plastic or resin.
5:33 you know it's bad when the mold grows in 3 dimensions😭
I'd probably have covered the outside and then cored the inside after the outside was thick enough, that way you don't have to worry about it sagging or breaking and coring it will be easier
Temu is absolutely unhinged
This must be the most intresting mass production product I have ever come across
This video feels like some stuff they show on tv when you waking from nap and you just watching this and then it seems to you it was a dream 💀
i would encase the croissant entirely in resin before opening it up to work on the inside, then you can get that really thin wall to allow the light through before sealing the inside of the bread.
would eat no matter what
forbidden midnight munchies

This is why shampoo has instructions
Step 1: Get a normal lamp, like a normal person.
People like lamps with design
her voice literally makes this asmr
but what do you need a croissant lamp for .-.
To get even coverage inside and out, hollow it out properly using rotating cutting head tool or carefully by hand and sharp scoop. Then dip entire thing in resin, remove and rotate it to drip off excess resin and hang to dry, repeat for thicker resin layer.
If you are making only one then that's a lot of wasted resin, but if you are making 100 or 1000 and just need to refill bucket of resin every 10 dips, it's economical.
What a dumb product. The bread still gets thrown away because it's literally not able to last even in resin. But instead of rotting or being bug food it's covered in hard chemicals and has a solid chunk of plastic in it. Boo.
Something to consider - how did they remove the inside of the croissant.
As your experiment revealed, it is very difficult to manually hollow out the croissant without causing damage. It's possible that the resin was applied first and then a chemical process used to remove any bread not adhered to the resin. As there is no need to eat the croissant this could be achieved with non-potable water or an industrial solvent that is safe for the resin, but not for untreated pastry.
People are kinda crazy. If the bread is dry or about to go bad, before it molds, just give it to birds. It's junk food for birds, but, it's still food and birds don't mind if it's dry. lol It's absolutely nuts that something like this is able to be sold as a lamp no matter the price tag. Maybe it wont mold, but I dunno the thought of having basically mummified food as decoration is still weird. If I were to do it, I'd make a 3D scan of real bread, 3D print it and paint it. It should look realistic enough with the right shading.
don't give it to birds!! It's not just junk food, it actually can kill them because they fill up on it when they can't actually get any nutrients from it, and they can end up starving to death. It'd be like eating styrofoam for us. There's tons of things you can do with stale bread though! Bread pudding and french toast were originally intended to reuse stale bread, and even just leaving it to compost and rot is better than covering it with plastic
Do not feed any sort of bread to any type of bird, it’s extremely bad for them. If you are interested in feeding birds, oats, seeds, or barley are much better alternatives. If your bread is old, your bread is old, don’t feed it to animals that can struggle to digest it & fills them up fast leading them to be unable to eat their proper diet. Throw it out or eat it before it goes bad.
As someone who bought one, it's cute and there are people who like cute things, there is no much more to it. Not 100$ cute though, jesus lol
It is not healthy to birds at all
@@mayadoodles7906
there's other uses for older bread. garlic bread, bread pudding, stuffing, croutons, etc. sometimes you can reheat it in an oven for a few minute, or microwave for a few seconds, with a little water to refresh it.
Natural selection in action, nice
I own this, i got it from aliexpress in 2021. I didn't know it's like "a thing" lmaooo it's sitting on my nightstand and has been for years... i love this stupid lamp
Despite the aliexpress one being different in your video, i have the "amazon" one that i did and you just blew my mind i have fucking food in my nightstand helppp
I feel like they coated it in resin before they hallowed it out to coat the inside with resin. It would make more sense to be because it would add some stability to the shell before they started removing the bread. Which, would also help with making the shell as hallow as possible without actually digging straight through. I think if you did that method, it would have been more efficient and accurate.
as someone with a gluten allergy and a love of cutesy stuff, this is terrifyingly
terrifyingly what
@@vampirejett i don't know, but my brain is terrifyingly adhd
Soo a croissant with a lamp inside and battery is 110 bucks? Yeah nah
This is hilarious 😂 we even got a DIY tutorial at the end
Honestly the biggest shock to me is that the answer to "can you eat it" is "maybe"
Short answer: No. Long answer: Noooooooo.
You should try coating the top/sides of the croissant in resin first letting those harden. Then cut the exposed fresh bottom out, in theory, I believe the reinforced top layer will be resistant to you hollowing it out allowing you to get a thinner layer since the resin will soak into the "details" visible. Ofc at the end finish up with some final resin ( i imagine you could coat the whole thing also ane simply cut a hole to dig out also if you wanted)
every day this world gets more strange
The resin used may be either a PUR resin, that cures within a few minutes or UV resin that cures within seconds by using uv light.
Maybe the real croissant. was first covered in resin completely and then the hole was made. makes more sense to me.
WaIt, so it was REAL?! 😂
I'm actually shocked that if it had been used for a while....mmmmm, the smell of buttery baked goods and resin. Yummy!
The idea is cool but we're seeing in real time why certain things shouldn't be mass produced like this.
Hello meep
*What they probably did was put the croissant on cups or wood the size of the hole and pour resin on it before hollowing it out the once that was dry took it off the stand to cut the hole and hollow it out when the croissant had a good hard layer of resin on the outside to hold it then once they scrapped out most the bread, they would put another later inside to harden it more and make it shiny inside too.*
Edit: Also, they probably used hot glue mostly for the light, maybe the put it on before the inside was fully cured too.
I remember seeing those lamps by the original designer at a Maison & Objet show (furniture and art exhibition in Paris) i went to years back for a business trip.
Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
Well worth??? 119 eur
Ah! That 3D thing from the shoe sample may have been a Slime Mould! Those are actually rather interesting lifeforms, you know!
1:08 bread is not worth that price tag
She must be in crack
I would assume that the hardened resin is considered relatively safe because it is just so hard that it stays in one piece and unlikely to contaminate anything, not that it would actually be safe to consume.
I came into this video expecting it to be very simple, but I was impressed when you started running tests. Then VERY impressed when it suddenly turned into arts and crafts.
8:05 girl took dont play with food to another level
This reminded me of that epoxy hot dog from reddit… 😆
i think you would have a lot more success if you was to use resin before cutting the hole in the croissant that way the entire out side of the croissant is hard while the inside is still soft and fluffy meaning you could literally scoop it as if it was a pumpkin
"Its a luxury product and worth the price" sis you just said they were about to toss it out, stop defending what is basically a croissant covered in resin xD would have been much better, if safe, to give to the homeless. Not stick a cheap LED inside then charge 100+ for it. Jeeeesus. You could make this yourself with a youtube tutorial and enough time for a fraction of the cost, literally anyone could x3
That one uncovered spot in the interior of the 2nd one would give me so much anxiety 😅
7:13 - Boy does this SCREAM "I have NO idea how out of touch I sound right now..." - How out of touch I AM right now..."
Can't believe there are people who legit don't know or care about the differences between "best before" or "expires by" - nevermind thinking both mean "throw the entire thing away, without even checking if it's ok still"
Even if it's sealed... Even if its one whole day BEFORE the "expiry date", still fully packaged... She says she just won't eat it...
Can't imagine the amount of food people like this just throw away. The amount of TOTALLY OK food, without even a HINT of a problem otherwise..
@@BoboMcBooboyLiterally!! Even milk isn’t labeled with an expiry date (correct me if I’m wrong), it’s a sell by. Sell by dates are for the seller to keep the stock fresh and properly rotated, expires/ best by date is more for the consumer. Highly processed foods like chips, crackers and canned goods can last a very long time without being eaten if they’re kept sealed.
Genuinely shocked it was a real croissant, wild that thats cheaper than cheap plastic
