To be honest, big companies like to boast "secret recipe" for sales and marketing purpose. While the exact ingridients and composition maybe a secret, the principle technique on how to make it are not. It's no secret coke is simply a carbonated syrup and we know how to make one, we just don't know the exact composition.
and the amount of vinegar she had to use to clear the egg stench. ( eggs taste amazing, but they leave a tremendous smell on surfaces, dishes etc). Ann is AMAZING indeed. :D
okay so no one is going to talk about how she not only solved a century old secret, but ALSO cleaned her microwave several times for us, AND is literally the tooth fairy? Maybe this woman is an actual angel sent from heaven.
Cadbury: our Flake recipe is a closely guarded secret, no one can ever know Ann: ya wanna see some real speed? edit: i just came back to this randomly omg thanks for all the likes!
Dear Anne, I really need to thank you for discussing the egg in the microwave issue in detail. My mom fell for this and I've always been so afraid of her getting hurt. A couple months ago we had a scare and she's stopped ever since. The explosion was strong enough to force open the microwave door - fortunately no spatter got on her even though she was immediately front of it. Loud sounds like that really spook me so I had to go sit down for feeling faint and avoided the kitchen for a few days afterward.
I'm glad your mom's ok. I had a liquid give me 3rd and 2nd degree burns, and I'd much rather people learn from close calls than learning from experience (even though it was someone else's stupidity that got me burned). 17 years later, and hot liquids still scare me to death if they touch my skin
I think people forget just how dangerous steam is because we only encounter it in the every day when boiling water in a kettle but that's only harmless because it's unpressurized and quickly mixes with the surrounding air and cools down. Steam however is incredibly powerful, in steam locomotives steam is powerful enough to pull km long freight trains at 100 km/h and on aircraft carriers steam catapults can instantly launch fighter jets weighing several tons. Steam like water however also is a great conductor of heat and when it finds a surface it will condense and deposit all of its energy on said surface as it does so, all the energy that lets it pull freight trains and launch fighter jets, this is why high pressure steam will literally boil the flesh off your bones and some of the worst industrial accidents ever were due to boiler explosions. Now normally it would be impossible to encounter higher pressure steam at home because at one atmosphere of pressure steam boils at 100 degrees celsius and thus doesn't take much energy to condense into water, meaning that you'll notice that it hurts and pull away long before it can do any damage. However microwaves change that because they work by directly energizing water molecules and thus can heat up water that's trapped, meaning that the steam pressure can rise much higher and thus its temperature, and of course the temperature of the surrounding matter. The take away obviously isn't that you should be terrified of steam but rather that just like electricity and fire you should respect it and understand that it can be dangerous in certain circumstances.
I still dont get why the TH-cam algorithm isn’t recommending Ann to more new viewers. Its really a shame how TH-cam promotes fake baking hacks, more than Ann who has her own cookbook, a full on website, recipes, debunking videos and many more. We need Ann to get on the recommendations
Because these channels prob got more subs and views then ann and youtube just only cares about the money I remember lot of people said they flagged these channels for being dangerous and youtube just did not care I agree youtube should recommend ann her videos more
I agree with you. But if you think about it, if it wasn't for those awful 5-minute craft videos, Anne would have less content to work with and we wouldn't have Annes awesome videos 🤣
Regarding the chocolate flake at ca. 14:00 - a solid state chemist here; chocolate has actually 6 distinct polymorphic forms (polymorphs are substances with the same chemical composition, but the molecules are stacked in different ways in 3D space, which can lead to different physical properties in separate forms), each with slightly different visual properties and melting points. The one that became soft and malable when you held it in your hand was an example of what's the 'standard' and most desirable across the industry, form 5, which doesn't melt too fast when held in hand, but does in mouth. Looking at how the 'flake' behaves, I strongly suspect that it's simply form 6, which is characterised by being harder and having a higher melting point than form 5, which would explain the observed difference in behaviour. Conceivably, it was then processed in one way or another and that's the secret they are talking about. Out of melted chocolade, each of the 6 polymorph forms can be crystallized by applying certain techniques - think of this as a process similar to tempering a sword (hence: tempered chocolade), wherein by combining melting and cooling processes at varying (but precise) temperatures, you are able to manufacture the target form, aside from form 6. This one is made by leaving any 'tampered' form on a shelf (in carefully managed conditions) for several months. You can google 'chocolate polymorphs' to find out more, and a quick graphic I find helpful can be found here: www.compoundchem.com/2014/04/19/the-polymorphs-of-chocolate/
This is fascinating, as an engineer, I had only read about amorphous and crystalline forms of specific molecules. Interesting to note that chocolate has these forms as well :D
I'm also wondering if the physical structure has an impact. Because of the air between the folds, it's less dense than solid chocolate, and since the isn't trapped in discrete bubbles like an Aero bar but parallel stacked folds, expanding hot air could theoretically escape out the ends as it heats and expands.
@@jamesdominguez7685 yea i thought it might be the surface area to volume ratio, however that would mean the flaky layers would meltt off one by one relatively rapidly lololol
@@aasha8759 - Also a possibility: the internal air pockets could maybe be acting as a kind of multi-layer insulation, slowing the spread of heat through the whole mass. Neither of our ideas explain why the very outside layers don't melt, though. :)
Disclaimer: I have ADHD, and I simply lack interest in this topic, so I did not read your comment in detail. Having skimmed it, I believe you stated you make the type of chocolate that is the same as Cadbury Flake by leaving it on a shelf for several months. I find this confusing, because what Anne showed in the video is that you melt it and add some water (or milk) to make it.
Ann Reardon is a true chaotic good; in one video, she debunked dangerous hacks, exposed corporate secrets, dissolved some human teeth, and exploded at least a dozen eggs. Respect ✊😂✨
I was told to sand the edges and/or use glass etching liquid on the rims to dull it. I’ve still never tried it, but the tip came from friends with homemade wine bottle glasses with lip safe rims
and it was her second attempt! the first idea she was only doing because someone else mentioned it, too, and the first thing she thought of herself was the right answer. Someone get her on the KFC secret spices, Coca-Cola secret ingredient, and the Krabby Patty secret formula!!!
I can't decide the best moment of this video. We've got: 1. Ann sacrificing her microwave's dignity countless times for exploding eggs 2. Ann casually solving a 100-year-old closely-guarded secret 3. Ann nonchalantly mentioning that she has baby teeth on hand for no reason
I'd like to add onto point number one. She also had to clean the microwave of egg debris all round, multiple times. That right there makes it my favourite moment in the video
I use the microwave method of poaching an egg. I have done it hundreds of times and my egg has never exploded. You need to use at lest 1/3 of a cup of water in a slightly larger bowl of at least 3" across The bowl I use is 4 1/2". 50 seconds on high and I get a perfectly poached egg every time. Promise.
@@jhbrown1010 while it may work for you sir, it is important to note that all microwaves are different, and what works in one may not work in another. Plus in my experience eggs in a pan aren't that hard to cook anyway. That's still a massive risk you're taking upon yourself, and I'd politely recommend you to avoid microwaving your eggs😊
I can just imagine a century ago, a guy melting some chocolate in the Cadbury factory and balls it up by adding milk and siezing it.... trying to get away with hiding the result somehow, only to go, "hey, we can sell that"
The stupid thing about the vase hack (apart from how dangerous it is, of course) is that it doesn't even produce a good vase. That rim is still jagged, potentially sharp, glass.
Ann, when beginning her channel: I want to make a channel where I show people how to make cool bakes. Ann right now: Please stop putting things in the microwave. I'm tired of cleaning mine.
oh that Flake thing is extremely similar to a traditional form of chocolate we have here where i'm from! it's called "chocolate en rama" (the translation would be something like branch chocolate??) and that's pretty much the exact recipe, yeah. y'all should watch some videos on how it's made if you've got the time, it's vv cool
That bit made me laugh too. Dave is such a trooper at trying stuff, even when there is a very real possibility that, for reasons that are currently unknown to us, it may one day actually be turmeric and sardine.
If 5 Minute Crafts said a bomb would instantly bake a cake, Ann would be the type of person to calmly say “Look at that. The dynamite blew up the cake. It’s not cooked” I love her personality.
Ann really woke up and said, “I’m gonna bring a centuries-old chocolate empire to its knees today” and condensed the whole process into a section of a 20 minute TH-cam video
This entire video was a wild ride. Horrific burns, exploding eggs, Sherlocking an industry secret, DAVE, hugging your cookbook, "hey I have human teeth" omg I love you

@@jhbrown1010 That's good for you, but just like Ann said, every microwave has a different wattage setting so the results can definitely vary per user! I'm sure it works under the perfect conditions for those who don't have a stove top, but if you have a stove...just use it!
i love how this is so lawfully chaotic like "ok for this one i'll microwave approximately 15 eggs one at a time to prove it will always explode, discover a 100-year old industry secret and then sacrifice 3 baby teeth to the coca cola gods"
@@MilwaukeeWoman Those methods aren't infallible either, and having boiled water spray you like a gun isn't really a good enough gamble. Eggs aren't really worth enough to put in the microwave for anything other than scrambled, and even then it's messy as shit.
@@MilwaukeeWoman Ann practices what she preaches: Putting the egg into the microwave is more dangerous than just cooking it on the stove, and as she has a lot of children watching, she advises putting it NOT into the microwave. Yeah, there a ways of doing it, but if many other ways result in exploding eggs, probably don't tell the children to do it anyways.
Cadbury: We use a top-secret process to prevent Flakes from melting that's so secret only a select few are allowed to- Ann: It's seized chocolate. Just wet the chocalate.
I’ve watched this video before but I came back for the eggs and then watching the Flake recreation was epic. I love how you could see Ann was so chuffed that she figured it out 😄 what a legend
My mom kept ours in a necklace box in a drawer with some of her other jewelry. Was looking for a necklace to borrow one day and spilled teeth everywhere because I was not expecting them.
She's such an icon. In a single video she, threw shade at TH-cam, blew up a bunch of eggs just to get across the point that you're not supposed to put eggs in the microwave, figured out a "closely guarded secret" in two tries, flaunted her book, and casually showed us that she's totally a mom by pulling some baby teeth outta nowhere.
Ann is so wholesome & has such a calm personality. The act of her chilling in her studio, probably filming this in the middle of the night - repeatedly blowing up eggs in a microwave, exposing cadbury trade secrets after blowtorching their products, and soaking multiple human teeth in Coke - is a hilarious new level of chaotic good! lmfao! Iconic!!!

Honestly I’ve considered poaching eggs in the microwave cuz I failed miserably with the stove method . The only things stopping me was the horror of eating egg cooked in microwave. And now this video has completely put that thought out of my head 👍
That's what kept me from cooking any kind of eggs in the microwave - it'd taste like shit lmao. I only use it for a quick 20 seconds to make sure the eggs are fully cooked in my quesadillas. Guess now I'll be waiting at least a minute before opening the microwave.
Thank you for this one. You might have saved me from an exploding egg mishap. I occasionally get frozen ramen bowls to cook in the microwave, and I'd been cracking an egg into them to cook in there as well. I hadn't realized how risky this was and will definitely not be doing it again.
Yeah some youtubers would have fake titles like "WOOOH SOLVED 100YEAR!!! Cadbury secret sending their whole team of lawyers after me" with a stock picture thumbnail of a boardroom in chaos with a photos shopped Cadbury sign
@@informationyes yes notice even many of the decent TH-camrs now have a single word all in capitals and usually negative. It’s boring and instantly makes me want to avoid them.
TH-cam's gotta listen to Anne Reardon more. They're so focused on stopping people from cussing on the platform that's literally designated for those over 18 that they're not even focused on the fact that people are getting severely hurt due to lack of safety information from "hacks" like this, and in one of Anne's previous videos, a young child was killed due to an accident with misinformation from a hack. Anne I really hope your message gets out there. It's a shame there's still content to be made about people getting injured and burned from things like this and TH-cam hasn't done a thing...
on this platform, unfortunately, the profit is more valuable than life and safety of the users. i don't believe this bullshit that youtube say they care about health environment and blablabla, if they did so they'd listening to anne more often and do something serious 'bout all things she's been constantly saying
I remember one time when I was younger I wanted to warm a boiled egg (don’t like them cold), and it exploded in my mouth when I took a bite. It terrified me, but I was lucky; it could’ve been worse. It sucks to see topics like these, but I’m so glad you talked about this.
If you don't mind a much safer tip for warming whole hard boiled eggs in the future is to simply heat up some water and put the egg in the water it'll eventually warm up at least that's what I always do I never put eggs in the microwave just water and then I put the egg in the hot water
I think we should rather feel sorry for Ann, because she had to clean her microwave like 15 times for this video alone. And thats not the first video with exploding or overflowing stuff in her microwave. Just imagine how often she must have cleaned that thing. Probably close to 100 times by now.
It looks like they also freeze dry it at the end. If you look at the one Ann did, after she tries to melt it, it's still softer than the actual flake one, so I think they probably freeze dried it, because that would remove the rest of the moisture... making it more flaked...
I like the thought that back in the day, someone was drunk at work or not paying attention to the job at hand and cocked up a whole batch of chocolate. Then, , not wanting to admit their error to the boss, did some fast product development, rolled some of this ruined batch, now cleverly renamed “seized chocolate” so the boss wouldn’t know it was ruined, and made the first flake.
The best things in life were discovered by accident. Sourdough bread, popsicles, penicillin, potato chips, and apparently Cadbury Flakes. That being said, though, it seems like it's a rather delicate balance of how much water to add, so I doubt they can use accidentally seized chocolate for producing it.
We don’t have a microwave at home so I took this video as a nice informational advice until I went to visit my grandma. She has a microwave and wanted to reheat a boiled egg from yesterday, I wasn’t there when she put it but I realised immediately what had happened when I heard a gunshot sound from the kitchen. The explosion was so forceful that opened the microwave door and fragments of boiled egg got everywhere. Fortunately my grandma who was near the microwave didn’t get burnt. I am glad this happened with me here so I could tell her to never put eggs in the microwave because apparently she did that with raw eggs too. After that I just texted people to inform to never do this. Thank you for making videos like this! 💕
i literally teared up when she got excited about seeing her book she works 10x harder than most youtubers on her video and she deserves this and to be proud of herself
You can bet that book will be full of cast-iron, rigorously tested recipes that will never let you down too. Thank you Ann - and Dave, for all the blind testing!
Three times my mind was blown today. 1. Anne cracking a 100 yo Cadbury's secret 2. Her book finally being in print 3. "I happen to have baby teeth on hand"
“ I just happen to have a baby tooth lying around “ Ann just hit a whole new level of commitment.. I was more astonished by that than solving that one hundred years secret.. and entertained
Same, I was much more astonished my this too. Obviously I know she has kids and kids lose teeth, but I figured parents just throw them away, not save them for science experiments.
@@yellowbubble7, Lots of parents save baby teeth, for some reason. I've even seen some really creepy dolls for parents to save their kids' baby teeth. I never understood it. I'm assuming that was the case, and I'm more shocked that Ann saved the teeth for so long and suddenly decided it was worth sacrificing
My dad actually kept some of our teeth (and a canine of one of our previous dogs). Never understood it as he never looks at it, it just sits in an old jewellery bag, but you do you dad ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
I just love the story of like some guy seized a giant batch of chocolate at Cadbury a century ago and to cover himself he just smushed it into a rectangle and said “I made a new candy”
I always imagine what the boys think when they walk in on their mum filming debunking videos: James goes to get a glass of water Sees Ann stood by the microwave “Mum what are you doing” “Just microwaving eggs to see if they explode”
Can we just take a moment to appreciate that Ann willingly made her kitchen/house/studio smell like warm exploding eggs multiple times so we could see what happened? I think that's worth appreciating.
With the chocolate I know another situation that *kinda* does the same as flakes. When a chocolate bar is expired and left there for a long time after the expiration date, they turn white-ish and seem to have the same quality of not melting easily anymore and being really crumbly but in the mouth it does melt and tastes like the chocolate (it does however take a little while until the taste comes about and it usually does lose its scent of chocolate when not in the mouth too).
Can we just appreciate Ann fir risking her life to fo the bottle hack, solving a 100 year old mystery and cleaning her mircowave a hundred times!! Wow! She just got a new subscriber 😁
not to diminish the video because it's great, but there isnt really much danger to the bottle hack as long as you take the necessary basic safety precautions the reason why the people who got injured doing it got injured is because they did not take those safety precautions.
Lol, I was almost feeling sorry for him, because of some of the horrible things he's had to try, but then I remembered episodes like where Dave gets to eat the gold icecream, so I guess that makes up for it. LOL
Hey Ann. I just wanted to tell you that I watched this video a few months back and thoroughly enjoyed it! My mother was about to put eggs in water in the microwave and I immediately remembered this video. I rushed through TH-cam to find this video to show her it was a terrible idea. Finally, I got it and made her watch the part about eggs exploding in the microwave and she finally said "Ok, I get the message" and did not put them in. However, she burned her fingers on a hot pot handle the same day, but I couldn't stop thinking how it could've been a lot worse. Please keep it up!
The unspoken hero of these videos is the microwave. That poor thing has been through so much... Oh, and Dave's fear like doubled when you made him put on a blindfold and it cracked me up 😂😂
The problem with policy on “dangerous hacks” is many of these hacks are very Valid techniques when preformed correctly. I remember this fire hack when I was learning how to score glass in art school. The difference being I was being educated on the safety and proper technique. Vs someone saying “try this it works” which isn’t untrue. But certainly leads to a game of hack telephone until the person on the end doesn’t know why something works and how it can be dangerous. Another problem on TH-cam I see is experts or experienced hobbies giving to much faith to their audience in an attempt to not sound patronizing. For example. A “how to carve a bear from wood” tutorial will assume the person watching has some carving experience, which enables the expert to skip the “remember to cut away from yourself and use a sharp” knife bit. An amateur sees the video, looks easy enough, and gets a slice taken out of their leg with their dull kitchen knife. Best recommendation is if you see a “hack” or tutorial video make sure to watch multiple videos and read some articles before attempting. and wear appropriate safety gear no matter how confident you are! If your younger make sure to ask an adult to help you!
I agree that some of the technica are valid. But I'm not sure I put the issue with the youtuber that much. Often the issue is starting on chapter 8 because you think the bear is cool and NOT WATCHING THE FIRST VIDEO WITH THE SAFETY stuff even if it's mentioned in the bear carving video as something you should watch if you haven't already. Making soap videos are like this, they don't want to include the long safety lecture EVERYTIME and just do a brief safety reminder and reference the first video. If the person elects to skip watching the first video after that warning, they are the one to blame. BTW The egg in the microwave thing does work if you use a mug and heat the water on it's own first before cracking in the egg and heating both together ... I've done it for YEARS and my mom for decades before me!
The problem arises if the person meets borosilicate or quartz glass. Borosilicate has a higher melting point, since it's used in beakers and pans. Quartz glass will never score using this technique and you're better off cutting it using a diamond wheel.
@@maggiemakgill this is very true. I guess the issue is that hacks don't really do this like at all lol. It's usually unprofessionals, who are doing something in an improper or dangerous way or who have lied about doing something that is actually too dangerous to do. Hack telephone is a huge issue, people rarely see the original context so they leave out the warnings or change things that were actually safety features. I think the issue is also that some TH-cam hobbyists don't really provide warnings every video e.g. channels I love that use resin don't explcitely say resin is dangerous and should be handled carefully in every video (because they've said it before and assume their audience knows it), or them not having safety gear themselves when they should be and setting a poor example. These people usually aren't teachers or actively telling people to do what they're doing, but they are doing somewhat risky or dangerous things without flagging that what they are doing is risky or dangerous. It's a weird one.

Ann is literally the queen of being humble...she could have had way more views by having her title be "WE SOLVED A HUNDRED YEAR OLD CADBURY SECRET" but she didn't😩😩😩😩
I love how she doesn't just take the time to show things - she takes the time to show *everything* I remember another video with cupcake tips - she piped so so so many. Not just a few - EVERY one to show exactly how they would look. Going above and beyond to actually provide quality is so wonderful and I hope the comment helps the algorithm acknowledge just how valuable all of her work is.
The egg is the first “hack” I’ve seen on your channel that I may have potentially fallen for. I grew up cooking scrambled eggs in the microwave, which does work fine. I wonder what about scrambling them changes things. Even so, you have to watch it, or it will expand far out of the bowl. Perhaps it’s something to do with the protein bonds.
Same! I've had microwave scrambled eggs nearly every day of my life, both with and without added milk and cheese. Maybe the act of scrambling disturbs the protein structures enough to stop it from building up pressure? Mine always expand like crazy and then shrink back once the microwave is off. But I'd love a follow up on this
I really appreciate the effort that goes into these videos, always going the extra mile and trying things over and over in slightly different ways to demonstrate practically what the results are as well as explaining why that is what happens. I don't know any other person who does debunking videos that would explode like a dozen eggs in their microwave despite knowing it's always going to explode.
I love how Ann not only debunked an 100-year-old secret in what had to be maybe like 3 hours ... but she also just expressed such pure joy in seeing her book that it melts my heart
My cousins taught us the vase trick, what I didn't see was any scoring of the glass around the string. It makes a weak point for the glass to break in a more controlled manor.

Ann: hold my Flake
Dear Anne, I really need to thank you for discussing the egg in the microwave issue in detail. My mom fell for this and I've always been so afraid of her getting hurt. A couple months ago we had a scare and she's stopped ever since. The explosion was strong enough to force open the microwave door - fortunately no spatter got on her even though she was immediately front of it. Loud sounds like that really spook me so I had to go sit down for feeling faint and avoided the kitchen for a few days afterward.
I'm glad your mom's ok. I had a liquid give me 3rd and 2nd degree burns, and I'd much rather people learn from close calls than learning from experience (even though it was someone else's stupidity that got me burned). 17 years later, and hot liquids still scare me to death if they touch my skin
I think people forget just how dangerous steam is because we only encounter it in the every day when boiling water in a kettle but that's only harmless because it's unpressurized and quickly mixes with the surrounding air and cools down. Steam however is incredibly powerful, in steam locomotives steam is powerful enough to pull km long freight trains at 100 km/h and on aircraft carriers steam catapults can instantly launch fighter jets weighing several tons. Steam like water however also is a great conductor of heat and when it finds a surface it will condense and deposit all of its energy on said surface as it does so, all the energy that lets it pull freight trains and launch fighter jets, this is why high pressure steam will literally boil the flesh off your bones and some of the worst industrial accidents ever were due to boiler explosions.
Now normally it would be impossible to encounter higher pressure steam at home because at one atmosphere of pressure steam boils at 100 degrees celsius and thus doesn't take much energy to condense into water, meaning that you'll notice that it hurts and pull away long before it can do any damage. However microwaves change that because they work by directly energizing water molecules and thus can heat up water that's trapped, meaning that the steam pressure can rise much higher and thus its temperature, and of course the temperature of the surrounding matter.
The take away obviously isn't that you should be terrified of steam but rather that just like electricity and fire you should respect it and understand that it can be dangerous in certain circumstances.
I still dont get why the TH-cam algorithm isn’t recommending Ann to more new viewers. Its really a shame how TH-cam promotes fake baking hacks, more than Ann who has her own cookbook, a full on website, recipes, debunking videos and many more. We need Ann to get on the recommendations
Because these channels prob got more subs and views then ann and youtube just only cares about the money I remember lot of people said they flagged these channels for being dangerous and youtube just did not care I agree youtube should recommend ann her videos more
I agree with you. But if you think about it, if it wasn't for those awful 5-minute craft videos, Anne would have less content to work with and we wouldn't have Annes awesome videos 🤣
I believe 5mc and Blossom

TH-cam just cares about the money. It's honestly really sad to see them be this greedy, I hope humans can change
@@GamingWithEric2508 you got me in the first line ngl-
Ann's really at that point of her career where she can just say "Here's these corporations' secrets xoxo" and i love it
Cadbury: "its a closely guarded trade secret"
Anne: "lol they just screwed up and seized a batch of chocolate then tried to save it"
Lol
This is gold XD XD XD
In other words: The age old practice of businesses selling things that would otherwise be considered a waste product.
@@thatboringone7851 like mystery flavor. It's just leftovers
@@thatboringone7851 so Hersheys in a nutshell.
Regarding the chocolate flake at ca. 14:00 - a solid state chemist here; chocolate has actually 6 distinct polymorphic forms (polymorphs are substances with the same chemical composition, but the molecules are stacked in different ways in 3D space, which can lead to different physical properties in separate forms), each with slightly different visual properties and melting points. The one that became soft and malable when you held it in your hand was an example of what's the 'standard' and most desirable across the industry, form 5, which doesn't melt too fast when held in hand, but does in mouth. Looking at how the 'flake' behaves, I strongly suspect that it's simply form 6, which is characterised by being harder and having a higher melting point than form 5, which would explain the observed difference in behaviour. Conceivably, it was then processed in one way or another and that's the secret they are talking about.
Out of melted chocolade, each of the 6 polymorph forms can be crystallized by applying certain techniques - think of this as a process similar to tempering a sword (hence: tempered chocolade), wherein by combining melting and cooling processes at varying (but precise) temperatures, you are able to manufacture the target form, aside from form 6. This one is made by leaving any 'tampered' form on a shelf (in carefully managed conditions) for several months.
You can google 'chocolate polymorphs' to find out more, and a quick graphic I find helpful can be found here: www.compoundchem.com/2014/04/19/the-polymorphs-of-chocolate/
This is fascinating, as an engineer, I had only read about amorphous and crystalline forms of specific molecules. Interesting to note that chocolate has these forms as well :D
I'm also wondering if the physical structure has an impact. Because of the air between the folds, it's less dense than solid chocolate, and since the isn't trapped in discrete bubbles like an Aero bar but parallel stacked folds, expanding hot air could theoretically escape out the ends as it heats and expands.
@@jamesdominguez7685 yea i thought it might be the surface area to volume ratio, however that would mean the flaky layers would meltt off one by one relatively rapidly lololol
@@aasha8759 - Also a possibility: the internal air pockets could maybe be acting as a kind of multi-layer insulation, slowing the spread of heat through the whole mass. Neither of our ideas explain why the very outside layers don't melt, though. :)
Disclaimer: I have ADHD, and I simply lack interest in this topic, so I did not read your comment in detail.
Having skimmed it, I believe you stated you make the type of chocolate that is the same as Cadbury Flake by leaving it on a shelf for several months.
I find this confusing, because what Anne showed in the video is that you melt it and add some water (or milk) to make it.
Cadbury : it's a closely guarded secret only a select few know.
Ann : it's seized chocolate you can diy at home.
Cadbury : surprised pikachu face
LOL. That gave me an idea, Anne should do a video on ‘debunking food industry lies/myths’
The knowledge 🙏
I mean you still gotta buy the chocolate, and most people will use cadbury anyway
Lmaooooo
If she hadn't figured it out, I'd be skeptical about people continuing to eat it. 😂😭
Cadbury: "it's a 100 year old secret only few people know..."
Ann: "Just add a lil water"
Cadbury: "dammit"
XD XD XD
😂😁😁😂😂😂
Got to hope 5 minute crafts doesn't do this once this video gets several views...
😂😂😂😂
Thanks to a "oops" while working with melted chocolate a few years back I quickly guessed what the "secret" was. lol
Ann Reardon is a true chaotic good; in one video, she debunked dangerous hacks, exposed corporate secrets, dissolved some human teeth, and exploded at least a dozen eggs. Respect ✊😂✨
And she cleaned the microwave between each egg! Such dedication.
lol she so is! Love it
I love that she just happens to have some baby teeth lying around.
@@redrackham6812 most mums do, in my experience. At least, my mum kept my baby teeth...
@@PonderingStudent Really? My mother certainly did not.
For the bottle "hack", even if you manage to successfully break the bottle, those edges are still going to be sharp. Be careful!
I was told to sand the edges and/or use glass etching liquid on the rims to dull it. I’ve still never tried it, but the tip came from friends with homemade wine bottle glasses with lip safe rims
@@CraftyVegan The hack is needlessly dangerous when you can just score the glass to get the same result so good on you for never attempting it.
@@hedgehog3180 the tool to score the glass bottle is like $5 from aliexpress, we recycled a lot of these to hold flower and decorate our cafe
You are literally a genius. The dislikes are from Cadbury employees disgruntled by the fact that you solved this
And from those of us who have never seen or heard of a Flake in their life and had to order some. :(
(*Not that *I'd* ever dislike Ann's videos!)
Lololol!!!!
Yep XD
I knew it the whole time
I was looking for a comment like this 😭😂

ann: i’m about to ruin this mans whole career
Lol!🤣🤣🤣

Ann - solves 100 year old guarded secret chocolate recipe
Ann: “Easy! 🤗”
What an absolute assassin.
I love how casually she solved a century old trade secret in a video that wasn't even about that.
and it was her second attempt! the first idea she was only doing because someone else mentioned it, too, and the first thing she thought of herself was the right answer. Someone get her on the KFC secret spices, Coca-Cola secret ingredient, and the Krabby Patty secret formula!!!
Cadbury: It’s a closely guarded 100 year old secret
Ann: solves it in 5 minutes
Daves look of concern at "blindfold" and then DREAD at "taste something"
His relief at "no its a normal chocolate bar" was palpable.
Not to mention the obvious fear as he goes to bite it!
Don't worry Dave, you're not being poisoned today
Dave gets good food :D
There was relief, but you could tell that he was suspicious until he started chewing and tasting it.
I can't decide the best moment of this video. We've got:
1. Ann sacrificing her microwave's dignity countless times for exploding eggs
2. Ann casually solving a 100-year-old closely-guarded secret
3. Ann nonchalantly mentioning that she has baby teeth on hand for no reason
She has 3 children, parents tend to save our baby teeth
I'd like to add onto point number one. She also had to clean the microwave of egg debris all round, multiple times. That right there makes it my favourite moment in the video
Yes!!😂
I use the microwave method of poaching an egg. I have done it hundreds of times and my egg has never exploded. You need to use at lest 1/3 of a cup of water in a slightly larger bowl of at least 3" across The bowl I use is 4 1/2". 50 seconds on high and I get a perfectly poached egg every time. Promise.
@@jhbrown1010 while it may work for you sir, it is important to note that all microwaves are different, and what works in one may not work in another. Plus in my experience eggs in a pan aren't that hard to cook anyway. That's still a massive risk you're taking upon yourself, and I'd politely recommend you to avoid microwaving your eggs😊
We gotta appreciate all Ann is willing to destroy for us. Her kitchen, her microwave, Dave's stomach, his trust in her food, his taste buds...
Dave is the real mvp
@@roseb135 Yeah. Dave's taste buds will be missed

@@justlola417 lol yeah
"his trust in her food" 😂 lol
I can just imagine a century ago, a guy melting some chocolate in the Cadbury factory and balls it up by adding milk and siezing it.... trying to get away with hiding the result somehow, only to go, "hey, we can sell that"
damn I had no idea eggs could get so explosive! Not a single one survived...

lol
I was a little surprised as I often microwave mine 🥶
The stupid thing about the vase hack (apart from how dangerous it is, of course) is that it doesn't even produce a good vase. That rim is still jagged, potentially sharp, glass.
Ikr why not just use the freaking bottle as a the vase ???
@@dx87gaming31 Yes, that would look so much better.
This was my first thought as well.
@@cursedGalataea But are the people who are doing this hack gonna be knowledgeable enough to know you can sand down the edges with sand paper?
and if one really wanted to reuse bottles as vases, a glass bottle cutter is only about $20.
Ann, when beginning her channel: I want to make a channel where I show people how to make cool bakes.
Ann right now: Please stop putting things in the microwave. I'm tired of cleaning mine.
oh that Flake thing is extremely similar to a traditional form of chocolate we have here where i'm from! it's called "chocolate en rama" (the translation would be something like branch chocolate??) and that's pretty much the exact recipe, yeah. y'all should watch some videos on how it's made if you've got the time, it's vv cool

"Is it like turmeric and sardine?" Poor Dave, he's so traumatized he can't even imagine Ann giving him a normal chocolate bar to taste test. 😂
That bit made me laugh too. Dave is such a trooper at trying stuff, even when there is a very real possibility that, for reasons that are currently unknown to us, it may one day actually be turmeric and sardine.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@jhbrown1010 That's good for you, but just like Ann said, every microwave has a different wattage setting so the results can definitely vary per user! I'm sure it works under the perfect conditions for those who don't have a stove top, but if you have a stove...just use it!
I saw this comment before watching the entire video and i was still Not Ready
i love how this is so lawfully chaotic like "ok for this one i'll microwave approximately 15 eggs one at a time to prove it will always explode, discover a 100-year old industry secret and then sacrifice 3 baby teeth to the coca cola gods"
There's ways to cook eggs in the microwave that don't explode and save energy and water. Look around on TH-cam. Ann isn't infallible.
😂
@@MilwaukeeWoman Those methods aren't infallible either, and having boiled water spray you like a gun isn't really a good enough gamble. Eggs aren't really worth enough to put in the microwave for anything other than scrambled, and even then it's messy as shit.
@@MilwaukeeWoman Ann practices what she preaches: Putting the egg into the microwave is more dangerous than just cooking it on the stove, and as she has a lot of children watching, she advises putting it NOT into the microwave. Yeah, there a ways of doing it, but if many other ways result in exploding eggs, probably don't tell the children to do it anyways.
@RoRo that too! I added lawfully because there's a methodology to her chaos lol but yes u right
Cadbury: We use a top-secret process to prevent Flakes from melting that's so secret only a select few are allowed to-
Ann: It's seized chocolate. Just wet the chocalate.
The way you smiled when you revealed the book and saw it, held it in your hands... That was so wholesome and made me smile too :)
I can’t stop laughing at the fact Cadbury’s guarded secret was that they made the chocolate slightly more wet
That was a happy accident for them lol!!
Well, that and the fact that their eggs have been steadily shrinking for years.

I’ve watched this video before but I came back for the eggs and then watching the Flake recreation was epic. I love how you could see Ann was so chuffed that she figured it out 😄 what a legend
Me too
Everyone is talking about Cadbury but not how she just casually has some human teeth on hand. I respect it.
I just assumed it was the baby teeth of her children. It’s not uncommon for parents save their child’s baby teeth.
To add to this, Jedd is fairly little and may be losing or lost his teeth recently

Mom saved some of mine too lol
My mom kept ours in a necklace box in a drawer with some of her other jewelry. Was looking for a necklace to borrow one day and spilled teeth everywhere because I was not expecting them.

I love how Dave is still up for being a lab rat dispute previous events. The bravest man I know.
TH-cam's gotta listen to Anne Reardon more. They're so focused on stopping people from cussing on the platform that's literally designated for those over 18 that they're not even focused on the fact that people are getting severely hurt due to lack of safety information from "hacks" like this, and in one of Anne's previous videos, a young child was killed due to an accident with misinformation from a hack. Anne I really hope your message gets out there. It's a shame there's still content to be made about people getting injured and burned from things like this and TH-cam hasn't done a thing...
This. 100 percent this.
People are too busy going hurrdurr natural selection to care about that though.
on this platform, unfortunately, the profit is more valuable than life and safety of the users. i don't believe this bullshit that youtube say they care about health environment and blablabla, if they did so they'd listening to anne more often and do something serious 'bout all things she's been constantly saying
has it been like this even before the ceo changed?
Lol. No their not. Those channels create a ton of money revenue.
I remember one time when I was younger I wanted to warm a boiled egg (don’t like them cold), and it exploded in my mouth when I took a bite. It terrified me, but I was lucky; it could’ve been worse. It sucks to see topics like these, but I’m so glad you talked about this.
You probably got the second best outcome
holy cow i think i would need therapy after that happening to me
If you don't mind a much safer tip for warming whole hard boiled eggs in the future is to simply heat up some water and put the egg in the water it'll eventually warm up at least that's what I always do I never put eggs in the microwave just water and then I put the egg in the hot water
The same thing happened to me when I was a kid and it scalded my upper lip. Nearly shit my pants too. 🙄
I did the same thing. Now I always make sure to cut the egg into slices before putting in it in the microwave 😅

I think we should rather feel sorry for Ann, because she had to clean her microwave like 15 times for this video alone. And thats not the first video with exploding or overflowing stuff in her microwave.
Just imagine how often she must have cleaned that thing. Probably close to 100 times by now.
1k likes and 1 reply? Lmao (now 2)
It has been tortured even MORE than Dave!
If Flake truly is just seized chocolate, Cadbury was very smart in finding a way to use their seized chocolate with minimal waste 👏👏👏
Yeah, I was actually impressed!
no wonder they called it "secret" recipe
It looks like they also freeze dry it at the end. If you look at the one Ann did, after she tries to melt it, it's still softer than the actual flake one, so I think they probably freeze dried it, because that would remove the rest of the moisture... making it more flaked...
I like the thought that back in the day, someone was drunk at work or not paying attention to the job at hand and cocked up a whole batch of chocolate. Then, , not wanting to admit their error to the boss, did some fast product development, rolled some of this ruined batch, now cleverly renamed “seized chocolate” so the boss wouldn’t know it was ruined, and made the first flake.
The best things in life were discovered by accident. Sourdough bread, popsicles, penicillin, potato chips, and apparently Cadbury Flakes.
That being said, though, it seems like it's a rather delicate balance of how much water to add, so I doubt they can use accidentally seized chocolate for producing it.
We don’t have a microwave at home so I took this video as a nice informational advice until I went to visit my grandma. She has a microwave and wanted to reheat a boiled egg from yesterday, I wasn’t there when she put it but I realised immediately what had happened when I heard a gunshot sound from the kitchen. The explosion was so forceful that opened the microwave door and fragments of boiled egg got everywhere. Fortunately my grandma who was near the microwave didn’t get burnt. I am glad this happened with me here so I could tell her to never put eggs in the microwave because apparently she did that with raw eggs too. After that I just texted people to inform to never do this.
Thank you for making videos like this! 💕
i literally teared up when she got excited about seeing her book she works 10x harder than most youtubers on her video and she deserves this and to be proud of herself

Same, I was much more astonished my this too. Obviously I know she has kids and kids lose teeth, but I figured parents just throw them away, not save them for science experiments.
@@yellowbubble7, Lots of parents save baby teeth, for some reason. I've even seen some really creepy dolls for parents to save their kids' baby teeth. I never understood it.

@@yellowbubble7 mine kept them.. but no experiments
My mom has mine and my sister's inside a little case, I thought she was weird but it looks like she's not the only one
My dad actually kept some of our teeth (and a canine of one of our previous dogs). Never understood it as he never looks at it, it just sits in an old jewellery bag, but you do you dad ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
I just love the story of like some guy seized a giant batch of chocolate at Cadbury a century ago and to cover himself he just smushed it into a rectangle and said “I made a new candy”

Can we just take a moment to appreciate that Ann willingly made her kitchen/house/studio smell like warm exploding eggs multiple times so we could see what happened? I think that's worth appreciating.
She deserves more attention

When a chocolate bar is expired and left there for a long time after the expiration date, they turn white-ish and seem to have the same quality of not melting easily anymore and being really crumbly but in the mouth it does melt and tastes like the chocolate (it does however take a little while until the taste comes about and it usually does lose its scent of chocolate when not in the mouth too).
That's more because the cocoa butter is separating from the other ingredients, from what I understand. It's a completely different process.
Cadbury: We'll never tell :P
Ann: *Laughs in Science*
Can we just appreciate Ann fir risking her life to fo the bottle hack, solving a 100 year old mystery and cleaning her mircowave a hundred times!! Wow! She just got a new subscriber 😁
not to diminish the video because it's great, but there isnt really much danger to the bottle hack as long as you take the necessary basic safety precautions the reason why the people who got injured doing it got injured is because they did not take those safety precautions.
"Is it like turmeric and sardine?" I would say Dave knows his wife, pretty well. Haha
Lol, I was almost feeling sorry for him, because of some of the horrible things he's had to try, but then I remembered episodes like where Dave gets to eat the gold icecream, so I guess that makes up for it. LOL
Hey Ann. I just wanted to tell you that I watched this video a few months back and thoroughly enjoyed it! My mother was about to put eggs in water in the microwave and I immediately remembered this video. I rushed through TH-cam to find this video to show her it was a terrible idea. Finally, I got it and made her watch the part about eggs exploding in the microwave and she finally said "Ok, I get the message" and did not put them in. However, she burned her fingers on a hot pot handle the same day, but I couldn't stop thinking how it could've been a lot worse. Please keep it up!
Ann is a goddess of the kitchen, literally discovering a century secret in what appears to be a afternoon. Amazing
She's the only god I follow
The unspoken hero of these videos is the microwave. That poor thing has been through so much...
Oh, and Dave's fear like doubled when you made him put on a blindfold and it cracked me up 😂😂
The problem with policy on “dangerous hacks” is many of these hacks are very Valid techniques when preformed correctly. I remember this fire hack when I was learning how to score glass in art school. The difference being I was being educated on the safety and proper technique. Vs someone saying “try this it works” which isn’t untrue. But certainly leads to a game of hack telephone until the person on the end doesn’t know why something works and how it can be dangerous.
Another problem on TH-cam I see is experts or experienced hobbies giving to much faith to their audience in an attempt to not sound patronizing. For example. A “how to carve a bear from wood” tutorial will assume the person watching has some carving experience, which enables the expert to skip the “remember to cut away from yourself and use a sharp” knife bit. An amateur sees the video, looks easy enough, and gets a slice taken out of their leg with their dull kitchen knife.
Best recommendation is if you see a “hack” or tutorial video make sure to watch multiple videos and read some articles before attempting. and wear appropriate safety gear no matter how confident you are! If your younger make sure to ask an adult to help you!
I kinda agree but I kinda don’t.
I agree that some of the technica are valid. But I'm not sure I put the issue with the youtuber that much. Often the issue is starting on chapter 8 because you think the bear is cool and NOT WATCHING THE FIRST VIDEO WITH THE SAFETY stuff even if it's mentioned in the bear carving video as something you should watch if you haven't already. Making soap videos are like this, they don't want to include the long safety lecture EVERYTIME and just do a brief safety reminder and reference the first video. If the person elects to skip watching the first video after that warning, they are the one to blame. BTW The egg in the microwave thing does work if you use a mug and heat the water on it's own first before cracking in the egg and heating both together ... I've done it for YEARS and my mom for decades before me!
The problem arises if the person meets borosilicate or quartz glass. Borosilicate has a higher melting point, since it's used in beakers and pans. Quartz glass will never score using this technique and you're better off cutting it using a diamond wheel.
@@maggiemakgill this is very true. I guess the issue is that hacks don't really do this like at all lol. It's usually unprofessionals, who are doing something in an improper or dangerous way or who have lied about doing something that is actually too dangerous to do. Hack telephone is a huge issue, people rarely see the original context so they leave out the warnings or change things that were actually safety features. I think the issue is also that some TH-cam hobbyists don't really provide warnings every video e.g. channels I love that use resin don't explcitely say resin is dangerous and should be handled carefully in every video (because they've said it before and assume their audience knows it), or them not having safety gear themselves when they should be and setting a poor example. These people usually aren't teachers or actively telling people to do what they're doing, but they are doing somewhat risky or dangerous things without flagging that what they are doing is risky or dangerous. It's a weird one.
This but also with cooking anything. The more repetitive a recipe is, the more accurate it is.
Currently in quarantine and not doing well at all. Your videos make me feel better and lift my spirits. Thank you always ❤️
Ann: *Solves Cadbury's 100 year old secret*
Cadbury: You weren't supposed to do that
the fact that even they dont know what theyre doing
You totally need to do a series on trying to discover what the "secret recipe" is of different food brands!
That sounds like a lawsuit 😂
One-way ticket to C&D land
Nah.
Claire Saffitz has been doing this on Bon Apetit's channel for ages.
She makes homemade everything. Reese's cups, Lucky Charms, Twizzlers, blah blah blah.
Look for "pastry chef makes..."
@@frankrosemeck9898 well she didn’t solve the secrets, for half of them the recipe is available to her, but no true secrets were busted like the Cadbury wet chocolate incident of ‘21
SPooK DeVille how can they sue you for finding out a recipe? Reverse engineering exists
Can we just appreciate how happy she was when her book arrived like that was the most adorable thing when she hugged it and said "my book!" Like 🥺🥺🥺🥺💕💕💕
My friend recently started poaching eggs in the microwave, and I immediately remembered this video and sent it to him! Thanks for your really easy-to-understand methodical ways of showing how these things are dangerous!
Ann is literally the queen of being humble...she could have had way more views by having her title be "WE SOLVED A HUNDRED YEAR OLD CADBURY SECRET" but she didn't😩😩😩😩
she's hoping cadbury won't see it with a different title so that they don't sue her hahahaah
@@lanapena866 that's an excellent point!
I love how she doesn't just take the time to show things - she takes the time to show *everything* I remember another video with cupcake tips - she piped so so so many. Not just a few - EVERY one to show exactly how they would look. Going above and beyond to actually provide quality is so wonderful and I hope the comment helps the algorithm acknowledge just how valuable all of her work is.
No one:
Ann: Hmm this chocolate isn't melting. Let's try a BLOWTORCH.
The egg is the first “hack” I’ve seen on your channel that I may have potentially fallen for. I grew up cooking scrambled eggs in the microwave, which does work fine. I wonder what about scrambling them changes things. Even so, you have to watch it, or it will expand far out of the bowl. Perhaps it’s something to do with the protein bonds.
Curious about that too. Granted this is anecdote but I’ve never had scrambled explode ever when properly watched/handled.
Same! I've had microwave scrambled eggs nearly every day of my life, both with and without added milk and cheese. Maybe the act of scrambling disturbs the protein structures enough to stop it from building up pressure? Mine always expand like crazy and then shrink back once the microwave is off. But I'd love a follow up on this
can we take a minute to appreciate how much work ann puts into her videos?❤️
Yes, *we appreciate Ann’s amazing content*
Imagine cleaning microwave 50 times in just one day 😩
Yes!
Can we take a minute to be concerned about how Ann has so many children’s teeth available at hand?
omg she hearted my comment
Cadbury: "It is our 100 year closely guarded secret."
Anne: "I'm about to end this man's whole career."
cadbury is a company not a man
@@coroner2141 that's more impressive right?
woooooooosh
@@coroner2141 /r woooosh
@@coroner2141 Well... John Cadbury, the founder of Cadbury, is a person... so...
I can only imagine his relief in getting chocolate for once and not like popcorn kernels cooked in a Red Bull can
I really appreciate the effort that goes into these videos, always going the extra mile and trying things over and over in slightly different ways to demonstrate practically what the results are as well as explaining why that is what happens. I don't know any other person who does debunking videos that would explode like a dozen eggs in their microwave despite knowing it's always going to explode.
I love how Ann not only debunked an 100-year-old secret in what had to be maybe like 3 hours ... but she also just expressed such pure joy in seeing her book that it melts my heart
I see what you did there 😂
melt my heart too :)
Cadbury ppl: "She discovered our secret!"
Coca Cola: (trembles in fear)
Crusty Crab: *trembles in fear*
I'm pretty sure Coke doesn't actually advertise their product as dental care, though.
@@Enaronia I think the person meant coca cola's secret in making coke
You are just so cool Ann! Congratulations on your beautiful book!
Yep
My cousins taught us the vase trick, what I didn't see was any scoring of the glass around the string. It makes a weak point for the glass to break in a more controlled manor.
