Can Melting 1,000 Lollipops Make One MASSIVE Lollipop?


in today’s video we’re gonna see what
happens if we take 1,000 lollipops and
[Applause]
I’m Nate I’m Cali and we have a new slow
cooker what should we put in it I have a
couple extra lollipops yeah you might
not know what the word couple means well
I wanted a lollipop and I figured if I’m
buying a lollipop I might as well buy a
couple extra so we need a thousand for
the project today is there a thousand
there I think so
Oh better get started we have made some
hard candy stuff before and it usually
seems to melt pretty well so we’re
thinking that these lollipops will melt
back down and I’m curious what’s gonna
happen with the colors we’ve got like
two or three different types of lollipop
and they’re all multiple colors so I’m
wondering for any like swirled effects
or if it’s just gonna turn like into a
brown giving go Brown might depend on if
we mix it what’s gonna happen to the
sticks because they’re not gonna take
the sticks out we’re just gonna throw
that in with it and hopefully the sticks
won’t melt even though they are plastic
if they do then we’re not gonna want to
eat what comes out of this so these are
just Tiger pops lots of pretty colors
but we’re really not sure about the
flavor all right so we just need to
[Music]
so are you sure we have a thousand you
ha number a thousand eight we sell space
and we still have lollipops so I think
we should just keep going a little bit
that was an extra 21 on my part 1171
lollipops in a crock-pot now we turn it
on and see what happens
yep oh no there’s more now with 71 72
and 576 1176 we had it set to about 250
degrees Fahrenheit and we started
getting a lot of smoke coming off of it
our goal is not to just set it all on
fire and have tons of sugar burning so
we’ve lowered the temperature down to
150 we thought it was the candy burning
just at first but the sticks are melting
– so got to be careful with that this
may not be edible by the time it’s all
melted gonna make a lollipop sculpture
here that’s just a stick now you have
garbage in my beautiful sculpture hey
Mark we made this for you I want to try
and stir it like I feel like that’s the
only safe way to do this all right it’s
only melted around the edges so we just
need to let it sit longer at the lower
[Music]
okay so we are having success in melting
the lollipop to themselves the problem
that we’re having is to get them to melt
we’re having to raise it to such a high
temperature that these sticks are also
melting so the plan is now we are
actually going to lower the heat but
also put a lid on hopefully we can
contain some of that heat and actually
get an even melt fingers crossed
I’ve got this silicon cake pan and if
everything goes pretty well with our
melting lollipops I wanna try maybe
pouring some of the lollipop goo into
here and making a giant while I pop out
of it kind of depends on if we can get
some of the sticks out of the way and if
everything doesn’t like burn badly in
that roaster and you like that but we’re
gonna give a shot so here’s a lollipop
mold it’s a live pop stick
[Music]
and make it a little bit smaller than
the diameter of a stick okay and the
lollipop will leap through and that
looks like it should work pretty well so
at this point we’re gonna try and get
the sticks out now most of this looks
burned but we think it’s mixed flavor
just maybe everything got mixed mine
tastes good that’s definitely somewhat
okay quick update we were trying to melt
our thousand lollipops and I think we’re
just a little impatient we’re just
trying to kind of do it in sort of a
one-day thing and it it really burned up
the plastic in we’re gonna try and
revisit this slightly different method
because this it’s just burnt like it
doesn’t even taste good anymore
and that kind of defeats the purpose so
we’re gonna try it again we’re gonna try
it with lower heat and longer time and
we’re gonna try letting it run like
overnight or even for a day or two just
to see if we can get it to work
guys the first time we tried putting our
lot of hops in a slow cooker what we had
was actually more of a roasting pan it
is something that can cook slowly but it
doesn’t work the same way as a regular
slow cooker so we’ve adapted and changed
things up a little bit so our crock pot
is a little bit different a crock pot
has thick ceramic walls cooks things
slower but in a much more even um being
temperature hopefully fingers crossed
it’s not going to burn things you can
see this right here like this whole
thing is I think even with the doubt
that is full of hundreds of lollipops
right now so that’s thick ceramic and at
no point is there like a thin steel wall
that gets too hot and should start
burning the lollipops that was the
biggest problem we ran into before is
well the inside temperature overall
might be controlled pretty well the
edges get too hot and so we really
started having burned sugar so we got
new lollipops we have now unwrapped at
new fouls and lollipops and these ones
actually have paper sticks so even if
they are in contact with a heating
element they probably I don’t think it
would get hot enough to burn and
definitely when you get it to melt so
we’ve got our new slow cooker which is
now very very full of unwrapped
lollipops with paper sticks and
unfortunately we can’t fit all 1,000 in
at first so we have a plan plans can be
pretty simple we are going to wait until
this melts down and as it does we’re
gonna add the rest of them so this is
what eight hundred yeah I’d say we
probably are at about eight hundred and
two hundred here so once those eight
hundred melt down we’re gonna pour in
the rest and hopefully everything melts
evenly and
important to our mold if the glass-top
gets too covered in steam they’ll
probably take that off it would go
slower without the top so we’re hoping
that doesn’t happen but we’ll keep an
eye on it and if it gets opaque so we
can’t see the law of pop smelting we’ll
remove it
our lollipops are thoroughly cooked more
thoroughly than we were expecting them
to become in fact or that we wanted them
to become I was confident that the low
setting on a slow cooker like this with
the ceramic pot to evenly distribute the
heat would keep it all low enough that
we wouldn’t have a burning problem I was
wrong so I was just a piece that had
bubbled over and dripped down the side
and I was just tasting it see what it’s
like and it’s very burned tasting there
is like a fruity tangy flavor to it but
then it’s also just pretty accurate
tastes like burnt sugar huh yeah that’s
burnt sugar with a little bit of
flavoring let’s see if we can get this
lid off it bubbled over like around the
lid off then it cooled down so now the
lid is pretty well attached to its glass
if we can just pick the whole thing up
by the lid handle you go for that oh oh
well we got the what worked okay yeah
now we have what looks like pot full of
pretzel sticks that one actually broke
like a pretzel stick usually lollipop
sticks like this we’ll just bend this is
just that’s like your pretzel you can
break them but you can’t really chew
them mm-hmm it’s a weird combination of
sour and bitter actually it still smells
quite good it smells like these were our
remaining few that we didn’t manage to
get into the crock pot before it boiled
over
okay yeah yeah I think burning it or
cooking it kind of brought that so it
actually smells very fruity like a candy
fruit flavor but like a fruit flavor
still check this out the sugar is about
here so that means we have four inches
of solid burned cooked sugar full of law
chopsticks look it’s a new sort of
lollipop oh yes sideways lollipop that
gouges into your face those will be very
popular
I regret everything it’s interesting you
really can still taste like the fruit
flavors of the moai pop mixed in with
the burn flavor I was expecting a lot
more of like a s smoky burn yeah yeah
this is just bitter well I’m surprised
that it did this I have learned
something about crock pots from what I
researched said that the low setting
should be under 200 degrees but I assume
that even though we had the thick
ceramic pot it still had hot spots we’re
right at the edges it was getting higher
than that temperature and the
temperature that I looked up must have
been the average inside temperature
temperature yeah so we were getting
burning as you probably saw in the
time-lapse it kind of foamed up bubbling
and burning on one side a little bit on
both sides more on one side than the
other and just to go over everything
yeah and it was around the edges on you
like you said I assume that he was much
much higher than expected this doesn’t
taste nearly as burned yep it’s more
efficient this way I don’t think that
word means what you think it means I
don’t think I miss what you’re thinking
miss guys that’s not all we’ve always
got more for you to see this box up here
