There’s Something Hypnotic About This Giant Jawbreaker Being Melted With A Blowtorch

YouTube channel “Let’s Melt This” makes no lofty promises, proclaiming: “Melting things one day at a time” in the channel’s description — melting everything from socks to crayons to ice using a variety of different melting agents. In this instance, the subject is one of those giant jawbreakers, good for “keeping kids busy for hours” or decorating grandma’s house, depending on the intended use.

So they went at this sucker (pun intended) with a blow torch, at a max temperature of 1900 degrees fahrenheit. It took just three minutes and 46 seconds for the jawbreaker to be decimated (sped up to a digestible minute and 23 seconds), and in that time you can see the various rings of color hypnotically melt away. My only hope is that the jawbreaker juice didn’t go to waste when they were done with it. Mix that with some cotton candy vodka and you’ve got yourself a fancy cocktail.
