Myth Busters, PLEASE ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

We really need the mythbusters back :(

I was curious so I did a little bit of research(as in duckduckgo was useless so I asked chatgpt). While stomach acid loses its acidity fairly quickly after death how quickly it happens depends on various environmental factors. Regardless, popcorn kernels apparently pop between 175-200ยฐC(400F). But bodies are cremated between 760-982ยฐC(1400-1800F). So depending on how quickly those temperatures are reached it's probably more likely that any remaining kernels would just burn.

There's a chance though. We need some practical experiments.

Maybe slam some high heat oil before death too, give those kernels a better chance

It just wouldn't be the same without Jamie and Adam with their maker/special effects know how.

It would wind up being some YouTubers most likely

No, it wouldn't be the same. Doesn't necessarily mean bad though, the format is still great. You're right though, it would probably be some really young YouTubers so they can appeal to a young audience, as if they only watched people as old as them. I think you need at least one person with a lot of experience in SFX or a similar field

ADAM: I underestimated this. I think we should go 1 pound. 10 pounds? 20??
JAMIE: 20 pounds of kernels is like half a 5 gallon bucket. You wanna fill a body cavity, you're gonna need 70, 80, 90 pounds.
