Tell me about this video...

is it a fake, or can someone actually make a substance that does this?

I think it's real.

Here are some old vids, same thing actually:

Edit:Ok maybe it isn't the same. I didn't actually see it through

No idea how real it is. Looks cool though.
Anyway look at time 2:35. One of the orbs bounces away

I love Wimp!!!

It tells you how to make it..

Looks almost fake though..
I will try it one day.

*Bookmarked*

**metcalfracing** · 01-09-2009 04:36 AM

I would totally try it, if I could get some confirmation that I'm not wasting my time/money

**Maeni** · 01-09-2009 11:34 PM

I saw this on another forum too..

People said it was definetly fake, and that the recipe is pretty much identical to that of a stink bomb.

So, eh yeah.

**magical mike** · 01-09-2009 11:42 PM

Yeah, it might just be clear marbles or something, that "Vanish" In the water. I really dont see how this is possible..

I mean, Perfectly round.. All the same size?

But the recepie on how to make sodium acetate is in that video for the marbles

.
If wikipedia isn't lying the marble video is correct on how to make it. Simply put:
Acetic acid + Sodium bicarbonate = Sodium acetate
So vinegar + baking soda.

Well that's a new type of funny, completely obscured to my eyes until now.
Seriously though... how is that funny. Poor person who described it that way.

so, because the guy who made the vid told the truth about how to make sodium acetate, means it the part where the marbles turn to water etc is the truth? wrong-o

Old greg and The Mighty Boosh is legendary.

But yes, a new type of humour.

That's your hypothesis, not mine. You're putting words in my mouth

It is watchable. It just didn't make me laugh as much as other stuff I've seen on the internet. So I compared my reactions and just found this one more bizarre then anything else. If you enjoy it, then great

**metcalfracing** · 01-13-2009 04:08 AM

but ya, this vid has to be fake, considering he holds several in his hand at once. If this were real, they would have liquified.

Also... I'M OLD GREG! WOULD YOU LIKE SOME BAILEYS?
