today we’re taking a look at jaw
breakers and gobstoppers and seeing what
happens if we heat him up melt him down
rinse him away or just plain smash him
most of you are probably familiar with
jawbreakers they’re round candy that
just has layers and layers of color and
flavor they come in a few different
varieties and we’ve got some things we
want to try out with these bad boys this
right here is just over 2 inches in
diameter it’s a pretty standard size for
a jawbreaker we’ve also got this mega
jawbreaker which oh boy feels quite a
bit heavier than our mid-size one and I
can only imagine that it would take
months to eat this whole thing normally
when you’re eating a jawbreaker you’re
gonna lick it and since it’s made of
almost entirely sugar flavor and
coloring it’s gonna take a while to get
through but you can get through it
rather than just sit here licking this
jawbreaker forever I thought we would
get a little time-lapse of something a
little bit faster we’re gonna take this
jawbreaker put it on a little stand and
then have running water flow down over
it and just let that water run until it
just carves away the jawbreaker
hopefully we should be able to see the
different layers as they’re exposed and
then washed away and we’ll curious what
shape we’re gonna end up with
[Music]
we’ve got our giant jawbreaker and you
know what I just I want to cut it in
half now if you’re a big fan of the
channel what’s inside you may have seen
a few years ago they did cut one of
these in half I wanted to try as well
and then we’re really gonna clean it up
I want some really good shots of what
the inside of one of these looks like so
I’ve never cut one of these in half they
had quite a hard time with it they used
a chisel and they ended up using like a
a grinder to just cut all the way around
part of it and then break it in half I’m
gonna see if I can get through this
whole thing with a hacksaw I’ve never
tried this before though so I may have
to improvise that the hacksaw doesn’t
work now this is our largest jawbreaker
it’s pretty dang big it’s about the size
of a softball and it weighs I believe a
pound which is a lot of candy I do kind
of want to test if you can actually
break a jaw with this jawbreaker success
this is now a verified well jaws breaker
if not jawbreaker
okay I think I’ve cut all the way
through this jawbreaker now it sort of
clicked together so at least half of it
I think that means is separated I have a
ton of this just jawbreaker dust here
and flakes just chipped off the outside
and I think I owe an apology to the
what’s inside team because I thought it
was gonna be easier than I was and it
was really weird it kept sticking to the
saw I ended up having to just wash the
saw blade off every like 30 seconds or
so that is super cool okay I need to
clean this up and make it just really
nice and pretty because you can see all
of the layers but you can’t see them
very well just because of all the saw
marks and the different cutting angles
and stuff so it looks good now we can
[Music]
as you can see we’ve got lots of these
little ones these are called gobstoppers
or everlasting gobstoppers is what they
say on the box the name comes from a
rogue doll book called Charlie and the
Chocolate Factory in the book
everlasting gobstoppers were supposed to
last forever you could suck on them they
would change colors they would change
flavors but they’d never go away
well we haven’t quite figured out how to
make the everlasting part each one of
these boxes says it has about nine
servings and each serving is nine pieces
and that gives us about eighty one
gobstoppers per box if we’re trying for
1,000 gobstoppers that’s twelve and a
half boxes give or take and so we are
going to load up thirteen boxes so we
might actually have just over a thousand
gobstoppers throw them on the barbeque
just your standard cookout food you know
some people like chicken some people
that should be just over 1,000 tiny
little jawbreakers we’ve got a tray full
of a thousand jaw breakers let’s go
we could put another rack over here and
put the whole pan on top of that but
where’s the fun in that
we’re gonna put the rack directly on to
the charcoal yeah here we go I’ve always
really preferred my jawbreakers to have
a good smoky flavor to me no this is a
our thousand gobstoppers in the barbecue
have now been cooking for maybe 15 20
minutes and they are mostly melted away
in just this soup of molten jawbreaker
candy just turned a sort of chocolatey
raspberry color it’s very thin like I
didn’t think he was gonna get this thin
but look how liquid that is terrible it
has a really interesting texture to it
and it’s not something unexpected even
though it’s smooth at this point it
having been all melted down it still has
a feel as though it’s slightly powdery
like other compacted powder candies like
Smarties or something like that that
would be the American type of Smarties
which are small fruit flavored things
and not the Canadian or perhaps other
types of Smarties as well which are
basically mmm under a different name
so yeah tastes like it doesn’t I don’t
know I don’t know paste powder ‘is the
right way to say it but it feels powdery
I know I’ve licked this but I’m the only
one who’s gonna be eating it so I’m just
gonna put it right back here in the soup
keep mixing this up we have melted most
of what’s in here just trying to finish
off those last few sticklers really get
this all liquid
[Music]
there’s just a lot of burnt boiled over
sugar on the barbecue down at the bottom
I don’t see any gobstoppers left in here
so I’m gonna say that is thoroughly
it’s a lot like a soft starburst like a
slightly warm starburst that’s about the
[Music]
it really is kind of just a mix of all
the different flavors like there’s grape
orange and lime and raspberry and
whatever else is in those I think it’s
better just have individual flavors then
all mixed together but it’s just sort of
a general fruit flavored tini so sticky
as an option of something to show we did
have some gobstoppers in a slow cooker
however we decided that’s pretty similar
to the look of the barbecue is just on a
smaller scale so we were gonna turn it
off but I discovered something
interesting
the gobstoppers even after sitting here
for like an hour and a half it barely
changed shape at all but I did discover
that they’d become soft as they heated
up so now we’ve got squishy gobstoppers
and they are fairly hot but not so hot
that it’s really hurting to hold them
it’s analysis instead of jawbreakers
they’re just like a soft banging out of
all of the jawbreaker tests that we’ve
tried out today this might be the one
that I recommend actually trying you
definitely want to be careful that
you’re not going to burn yourself on
them but it’s pretty good no broken jaws
it’s not known exactly when jaw breakers
were invented but they became popular in
the late 1800s and early 1900s thanks to
the Ferrara pan candy company guys
that’s not all we’ve always got more for
you to see that box up at the top it’s
gonna take you to our last video you can
go check that out the other box is gonna
show you what YouTube thinks you should
be watching next we had this bomb here
in the middle it will subscribe you to
our channel that we’re never gonna miss
out on a cool video don’t forget to ring
that Bell and we’ll see you the next one
talk to them [Music]
