Food Theory: MrBeast Is WRONG About Wonka's Chocolate River! (Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory)

augustus honey save some space for later oh uh augustus please don't do that my

chocolate

should never be touched by human hands please don't make that delicious

chocolate

don't just stand there do something the murderous health police will like the marshmallows in five seconds impossible my dear lady that is absurd unthinkable why because the

river

of chocolate would have finished it much faster the suspense is terrible I hope you laugh hello internet welcome to the

theory

of

food

the show that is like a

river

of dark chocolate sweet but bitter In case you missed it earlier this year, Mr Beast launched a new brand of Beastables chocolate bars and true to their brand, it came with a promotion and random bars will have a mystery ticket inside and if you get this mysterious ticket, we will fly.

You are going to compete for a chocolate

factory

in one of our videos. Well, that video finally came out complete with him bringing Willy Wonka's chocolate

factory

to life. He even recreated the iconic waterfall and chocolate river. Don't ask me how, but we put a chocolate in it. river with a chocolate waterfall in the middle of this warehouse, who would have thought that a river made of chocolate is not very practical, except that is where you would go

wrong

? A chocolate river is surprisingly practical. Are you watching the chocolate river version of Mr. Beast? I'm thinking for the first time about the actual physical realities of a chocolate river to be clear that the river in both Jimmy's video and the original movie is supposed to be made of real melted chocolate and not, you know, chocolate water. brown poop.

We were all thinking what the hell, even the movie says it's a dirty, disgusting river, it's industrial waste, that's chocolate, this is a place where the 2005 remake with Johnny Depp is actually more faithful to Willy Wonka's cannon, that giant CGI waterfall and river could be seen more. artificial, but it is actually more faithful to the texture of real melted chocolate, which if it is liquid it should be hot, like hot melted chocolate, chocolate is solid at room temperature, wouldn't the poor august gluteus be boiled alive after falling to the river? How long could I really last there?

And speaking of duration, could you really drown in a river of chocolate? They tell us he can't swim, but can you swim in melted chocolate? Is the ability to float in water important here? Could a factory like this? In fact, I have all this chocolate mixed up next to a waterfall, like Wonka says, like I said, a lot of questions started flooding my brain while watching the Mr Beast video, so today we're going to get to the chewy science center of all these river mysteries. chocolate. and believe me, you'll be surprised by what I found: this seemingly ridiculous

wonka

concoction is not as absurd as it might initially seem;

In fact, this crazy movie is much more accurate about the chocolate-making process than I give it credit for. Any of us first realized it when we were watching the movie and Augustus, well, let's just say a scene would look very different, so come with me and you'll see a world of cold scientific calculations as we explore the reality of the chocolate factory. Wonka right now. Here at the top, can I be an Augustus Gloop apologist for a second? I mean, I know we're supposed to think of him as a spoiled brat who gets punished for his gluttony by falling into the river, but was it really that bad of him? to start drinking the chocolate water, I mean,

wonka

introduced all the visitors to the chocolate room and then released them to go ahead and eat whatever the room's goal is, the kids clearly have to try to eat all of them. the things they see. from the mushrooms to the trees and there, in the middle, the giant centerpiece is a river of fucking chocolate.

It wasn't unreasonable for Augustus to assume that everything in the room is made of candy and you can eat it, the chocolate river was also in play. and yet here's wonka immediately throwing a fit please don't do that my chocolate should never be touched by human hands don't do that johnny depp's version is even worse because the oompa loompas just embarrass him through the song harassment a lot just saying hashtag justice for gloop, but hey, now that it's in the chocolate river, what would really be going on here? Well, first we're told he can't swim, there's no better time to learn, and while I love wonka's line here, the ability to swim.

It shouldn't matter at all when it comes to Augustus' survival, in fact, he would have to actively try to drown himself within that river of melted chocolate. You see, chocolate is denser than water and the denser a fluid is, the more buoyant force pushes you up. When you try to float in it, for example, the Dead Sea is located between Jordan and Israel and is 9.6 times saltier than ocean water. Normal water has a density of one kilogram per liter. The Dead Sea because of all that salt has a slightly higher density. of 1.24 kilograms per liter and let me tell you that even with that amount of difference, floating in the dead sea is incredibly easy.

Wow, Steph, and I actually did this about 10 years ago and it feels like someone is actively holding you in the water. It's a wild experience, so now compare that to the density of melted chocolate, which is even denser than the Dead Sea, between 1.28 and 1.31 times the density of normal water. Basically, it would be difficult for Augustus to sink below the surface of the chocolate and honestly, this is kind of reflected in the movie for someone who doesn't know how to swim, Augustus seems to be standing pretty well above the surface, at least until the suction of the chocolate. pipe pushes him down, he already had it, now the suction has him and he said if he had even a little bit.

Of their ability to swim, no matter how wild it may seem, there would be nothing to stop them from swimming in a river of melted chocolate, according to research published by the University of Minnesota, if you put swimmers in a liquid that was more viscous than the water in which they are. accustomed to swimming, they will still be able to swim without their speed decreasing; In fact, according to everything we know about fluid dynamics, you would have to have a liquid that was a thousand times more viscous before people swimming would noticeably slow down. The news here is that chocolate is only about 50 times more viscous than water and that, my friends, is why you don't skip your little guppy swimming lessons.

He'll save your life one day when he's swimming in a pool of chocolate, but wait a minute. All along we've been talking about liquid chocolate as if it were something perfectly normal. It's clearly not chocolate, it's solid at room temperature, it's melted chocolate inside that river, in other words hot chocolate, even the oompa loompas talk about how they're going to quit. Augustus boils for a little longer in the 2005 remake, so how hot does that chocolate river have to be for it to be a river? It turns out that melted chocolate may not be deadly, but it can be harmful to a flowing drip. chocolate fountain, you generally want the chocolate to reach temperatures of about 110 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit or 43 to 49 degrees Celsius.

It's quite hot in comparison. Hot tubs in the US are prohibited from exceeding 104 degrees Fahrenheit or 40 degrees Celsius specifically due to safety concerns and 100 degrees Fahrenheit or 38 degrees Celsius is the recommended safe temperature for adults according to Johns Hopkins University, exposing skin to 120 degree fluids tend to cause severe burns after 10 minutes of exposure, which is admittedly much longer than we see Augustus in but it is something to worry about, especially considering that hot melted chocolate will be much stickier than water, it will be important to wash it off your skin immediately. We see this very clearly in the Johnny Depp remake where the chocolate actually sticks to his body as he shakes it, so washing that stuff off as soon as he gets shot through the pipe will be a top priority.

He wouldn't be crying about drowning, he would be crying about being boiled to death, is that also true? just me or is this the third time I've mentioned Johnny Depp's 2005 remake as the correct version. I do? Somewhere deep in my brain I somehow think this is the best version of the story. Good morning. Star Shine The Earth says Hello, no, no, it's not, let's just say there's a reason no one was talking about this getting a sequel during the big Johnny Depp trial, okay, so let's move on, but leaving out Safety concerns aside, let's get back to what was said. during mr beast's video oh what a thought a river made of chocolate is not very practical is this a practical way to produce chocolate well this is what wonka has to say about the chocolate waterfall the supposed crown jewel of his factory that It's the coolest thing I've ever seen 10,000 gallons per hour and look at my waterfall, that's the most important thing, it's actually churning my chocolate 10,000 gallons per hour, you say that's really realistic for a waterfall this size and, More importantly, should I be impressed?

That number or not, 10,000 gallons per hour seems high, but after all, this is an international candy company, 10,000 gallons per hour is enough to provide candy to everyone. Well, let's address the size question first, as it turns out that the number is almost perfect. According to a supplier who specializes in artificial waterfalls, the water flow rate of your waterfalls will vary depending on how splashy you want it to be. A slow, quiet, splash-free waterfall would have a flow rate of around 100 gallons per hour per inch of waterfall, but if you want a foamy white water effect for your waterfall that makes some noise like we see at the wonka factory , you will see a flow rate of between 200 and 500 gallons per hour per inch of width of the waterfall, that means that for a flow rate of 10,000 gallons per hour as Wonka claims, the waterfall would have to be between 20 and 50 inches wide or between 0.5 meters and 1.25 meters and when you look at the waterfall, it seems to fall exactly somewhere. in that range, good for the movie writers for doing their research and yes, I give the movie writers credit because the 10,000 gallons that Wonka says in the movie is actually much more accurate than in the book original where Wonka just says let's quote thousands of gallons per hour, my dear children, thousands and thousands of gallons, but the real question here is whether the waterfall is up to the task of mixing all the wonka chocolate.

I mean, we just established that the waterfall could handle 10,000 gallons per hour, but is that enough for Willy Wonka to maintain a global chocolate empire? Well, I did some math and based on the weight and volume of the milk chocolate, Wonka's ten thousand gallons per hour translates to over 500 million pounds of chocolate per year, that's 519.5 million pounds per hour. year to be exact, but is that number enough to be a global chocolate giant? Well, in 2011, Hershey's said they were producing over a billion pounds of chocolate products per year, obviously over a billion pounds of chocolate products is a huge range and a very vague definition. but let's assume it's between one billion and two billion pounds now at first it might seem like wonka is way behind;

It's only producing about 500 million pounds of chocolate, but remember that the Wonka factory here was operating in 1971, when the world's population was about half of what it is today. In other words, Wonka was definitely keeping pace and apparently it had what it took to be a world leader in chocolate and here is the part that is even more impressive, that billion figure for Hershey's, yes, which is based on the production of the 19 plants they have operating around the world, Meanwhile, Wonka is here processing all of its chocolate in a single factory. One wonka factory is the equivalent of 10 Hershey's factories.

Huge kudos to those oompa loompas, so that's pretty cool and super impressive both in terms of scale and in terms of mathematical precision, all the numbers check out surprisingly, honestly, it's almost enough to make me forgive the biggest problem of all in scene, the fact that using a waterfall of white water is the exact opposite of how you would actually want to mix your chocolate. You know that no other factory in the world cascade mixes its chocolate. There's a good reason for that bill. You don't want your chocolate to get so foamy, all that white foam you see when the water hits the rocks at the bottom of the waterfall.

That white water effect is what happens when the flow of the liquid is so turbulent that air gets trapped inside it creating an unstable foamy stream and air bubbles are something you actually don't want inside your chocolate. Most factories have processes that are specifically designed to eliminate those air bubbles when creating chocolate bars at home; In fact, an important step in the process is to tap the molds on the table or shake them to allow air bubbles to rise to the surface. and release,thus leaving a nice, smooth and uniform chocolate bar, and before you think that this might be a secret ingredient or something, while aerated chocolate is indeed a big trend nowadays, air is not the gas that is uses to create those things, in short, like us.

I just demonstrated that Wonka has a chocolate production process that would allow him to be a world leader. The only problem with that is that the quality of his chocolate would be shit and that's probably why he needed a freebie to promote it. No offense to Mr. Beast. by the way, it's possible that the chocolate is really solid, but hey, that's just a

theory

, a

food

theory, and well, although the initial lord beast giveaway is over, he just started a new one where he's giving away teslas xboxes and opportunities to be featured in future videos and here's the really shocking part: you can win it all without spending a dime, in fact I made a video on how to do it here, so if winning those prizes sounds interesting to you, check it out and hey , Lord Beast's food empire is not.

I didn't just limit myself to chocolate, I made a video exposing how Mr Beast launched his own burger chain through the magic of ghost kitchens to find out how he and soon enough Five Nights at Freddy's did exactly that, watch the video right there As always, my friends. See you next week, bon appetit.
