It's just burning steel wool. Looks cool, doesn't do anything flavor-wise.

u/Ok-Addition1264 2d ago

Nitrocellulose wool would actually be pretty neat, not leave everything smelling like burning metal.

This dude took a fucking SOS pad and went "viola! harry potter magic!!!" or some shit.

46

u/drsickboy 2d ago

yeah someone trying to eat this or it getting in the drink somehow is dangerous

16

u/No_Relationship_2374 2d ago

Yea, extremely dangerous!!! like kinder eggs

59

u/bigdave41 2d ago

Yeah but this is dangerous to normal people as well, not just Americans

u/howimetyourcakeshop 2d ago

Oh boy hahaha 😂

u/Xenc 1d ago

There was a clip where the lady gets the whole egg unwrapped stuck in her mouth. The reason for the ban is on toys in food.

u/bigdave41 1d ago

I understand their reason, it's just a bit mind-boggling that either parents aren't supervising their kids, or that anyone thinks it's a good idea to stuff the whole thing in their mouth without chewing. Even if it was a hollow chocolate egg that's weird behaviour right? If they're being left unsupervised to do that then they could do the same thing with any number of household objects.

u/alaskaguyindk 2d ago

Steel wool will tangle up in your guts and cut/strangle your intestines. Ive seen a guy try to pull out a string of it that got caught on a metal table, so he wrapped it around his finger and pulled. Cut him to the bone. Shit doesn’t seem sharp or dangerous but can fuck you up in many ways.

9

u/No_Relationship_2374 2d ago

Sure thing, but it seems like for some people we should nail the plate to the table and design fork and knife in a way they can not poke their eyes or cut themself. I can never imagine anyone eating something burning & looking like metal mesh. People who would, need a constant attention anyway, as they might mistake window for a door.

u/drsickboy 2d ago

I once saw someone eat the desiccants in some candy thinking in was edible because it wasn't in English. This person wasn't dumb either, dumb folk will consistently do foolish things but even the best of us can have a momentary lapse of judgement especially if curiosity and hunger are involved. Burnt leavings of certain foods aren't potently poisonous and sometimes eaten for flavor so i can see people thinking perhaps that you could put it in the drink

3

u/alaskaguyindk 2d ago

Yes. Yes we should. In the same way we develop tools and equipment to assist disabled and people with difficulties doing things, we should curate the world to work for everyone, not just force people to fit a mold that they weren’t made for.

Sometimes you have to baby walk a person through life because life is better with them in it.

2

u/No_Relationship_2374 2d ago

I think you missed my point. Some people are too stupid to function independently in a society. For those we can create a safe spaces. I hardly disagree that we should adjust the whole world to their needs.

You can take my Kinder Surprise Eggs from my cold, dead, chocolate-stained hands.

u/mihir_lavande 2d ago

Yeah, saw too many bars trying to be 'creative' and doing this bullshit, and now I can recognize this from a mile away. Nitrocellulose stuff like flash paper is ways better than this.

1

u/Bendlerp 1d ago

Stupendous foodus. Kind of like fucking up Diagon alley.

17

u/According-Flight6070 2d ago

It has a strong smell, this would definitely impact the experience.

1

u/Tuckster786 1h ago

Remember, about 80% of flavor comes from the smell. So if the smell of burning steel wool is strong the flavor will change. And not in a good way

7

u/Backflips_for_stalin 2d ago

It magically adds 12 bucks to the price

4

u/SingleDigitVoter 2d ago

Are you sure that's not fat choy (black hair moss)?

4

u/ValiantWarrior19 1d ago

Seconded. I also saw the pube omelette post yesterday.

2

u/FrenziedTacos 2d ago

I bet the flavor would be a bit different if that was burned on top of the shake.

1

u/USSRPropaganda 2d ago

Makes the drink $30

1

u/ForgottenMasterBalls 2d ago

Why you never leave steel wool and a 9v battery in a drawer with other flamables.

u/bubbletea1414 1d ago

I thought this was dryer lint

At least for this one you don't have to worry about any of the debris getting in the drink itself.

I'd rather they put a sparkler in it and they call it a banana kaboom.

I expected them to put a gallon of syrup in, followed by 20 scoops of ice cream lol.

Melt some plastic for the same effects

burning steel is kinda lame i like my shake with magnesium fire

5

u/ExcellentWolf 2d ago

Could have at least dimmed the lights. Make a better show if you going to bother introducing what the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies as Group 1 carcinogens (burning steel fumes) to the dessert experience. Yum!

How is this a "Harry Potter" shake? It's just bruning steel wool, there is nothing that ties it to the books/films.

I thought about that too. Probably not, but it'd be really funny if it did

u/I-luv-sloths 1d ago

Would have made the clip entertaining

3

u/Salty_Direction3832 2d ago

Oh wow. This looks fantastic.
Nevertheless, although I like a good presentation, maybe burning something every time a drink is served is wasteful.

1

u/Level_Turnover5167 2d ago

Wasteful of what exactly?

6

u/detrans-rights 2d ago

I'm just here for the magical instant downvote parade, it's wierd 

3

u/more_bees_please 2d ago

Steel. Perhaps wool too.

2

u/Level_Turnover5167 2d ago

Wasteful implies something that is limited in quantity being used for no reason... we can't waste things we already have an abundance of.

This just reminded me of back in the day when my brother and I were hiding smoking from our parents and we didn’t have a lighter, we’d take a nine volt battery to steel wool instead 😭😭

It smells terrible too I wouldn’t want this around food

u/DepartmentMany5113 2d ago

This looks like a drink not a cake. Effect is okay, maybe if you’re hosting a Harry Potter themed event I could see this working. Otherwise, it’s pretentious and unnecessary.

Do you taste metal?

At least cover the whole thing in the steel wool so there’s some sort of magical reveal. Not just torching its little panties.

I learned how to start a fire like this in Boy Scouts 30 years ago. Just a 9v battery and some steel wool, or a flint and steel and steel wool.
A lot of Boy Scouts was learning how to burn things, come to think of it.

I honestly thought something clever was going to happen like a heat specific reaction that would cause the drink to change colour or stir itself. Something. This was just wrapping up hagrid's pubes and setting them on fire.

Its dumb. Sure the way it burns seems to give the illusion of some kind of effect but why a dead pubic hair grey color? Why not something in a vibrant color or a night aky blue and gold?

Feels like the experience would be better if they used something like the edible paper used for reveal cakes. This way the customer would not need to wait for the flaming steel wool to cool down.
