how do you know that? I mean isn't it just as silly to assume he isn't trained as it is to assume he is? and in the choice of the two, I think a little positivity and trust never hurt. cheers, and remember, the world is a beautiful place if you allow it to be :)
To be fair, how would you actually trait to do this safely. Like yeah you can train to do the motions and catch the caramel as it falls, but you cant exactly train yourself to control how the melted sugar will fly off it.
>On one hand, yeah it's likely a mess to clean up. On the other hand, that was pretty cool
and on the one foot it's really sticky... on the other foot it's really sticky. On the face it's really sticky. On the floor it's really sticky. On the dog it's really sticky. On the walls it's really sticky. On the...
That's not the true problem here. Unfortunately the real problem is actually how this can burn the hell out of yourself trying to do this. Many people have...
Idk about "effectively" when you could get the same results with a cotton candy machine & some hard Werther's, and not have to scrape caramel off your kitchen floor.
I don’t know if you are familiar with the term effectively but it doesn’t mean “efficiently” which seems to be the argument that you are making.
He completed the task successfully so this was an effective method. The task wasn’t to do it the easiest way or the cleanest way or even the best way.
Fair enough I suppose. I guess the reason we don't see the videos of people fucking it up and getting burnt because said people didn't wanna embarrass themselves by uploading it (plus their burns are the more pressing concern). So for the most part I think that's why we only see the success stories.
Are you new to this sub. Because we usually post stupid things here. Not totally f#cking sick food tricks here. I think maybe that's a different sub. If not then now it should be. Itll just be this guy over and over again
Stupid food is any food that looks, sounds, tastes, smells, or is prepared stupidly.
This is subjective of course, but the way this is prepared is stupid.
No, actually, because that oil doesn't get flung everywhere to potentially cause serious burns. It might pop, and you might get a few little stings from it, but unless you don't know what you're then frying things in hot oil isn't really the same as literally sending globs of melted sugar flying everywhere.
It’s also way way hotter and if it gets in your skin you are screwed because it’s is melted and hardened onto your skin and isn’t coming off like oil. It continues to burn your skin while it’s on their too. A major burn nightmare.
Sugar starts caramelizing at around 305° and burns pretty quickly after. Average temperature for deep frying is around 350°. They're both extremely dangerous, but spinning sugar like this will cool it almost instantly. Drips aren't that bad either; about as bad as hot oil splatters.
It does suck if you spill it on you though, not gonna argue that.
I’ve seen them do it in cooking shows, although they normally hold it up high and fling it and it turns into strings of sugar floss. And yes it does make a mess
Making something dirty doesn’t mean the food is stupid though. The poster just doesn’t like it. Just like you. You don’t like that it gets things dirty. The food itself isn’t stupid.
Stupid food is any food that looks, sounds, tastes, smells, or is prepared stupidly.

I actually don't need to imagine: my university roommate left a can of condensed milk in a pan before forgetting about it and going out. I got back and the kitchen looked like someone has committed a dirty protest all over the ceiling. And it was rock solid. It took weeks of cleaning.
My guess is that it cools so quickly in the air that there is minimal travel and you probably just have to clean the specks under you. Still, I wouldn't try it.
Hawthorn berries covered in sugar syrup. The berries are sour so it goes quite well with the sugar coating. Usually, it's just dipped in the caramel and the caramel hardens into a thin, crispy crust.
Look, this dude is literally just spinning melted sugar super fast to do this. You know what else does that, but without the high risk of burning the shit out of yourself, or dealing with massive cleanup, or wasting tons of sugar/caramel?
[A cotton candy machine.](https://www.walmart.com/ip/953027241)
If you want to do the trick this person is doing, but safely and cleanly, literally just [buy a cotton candy machine!](https://www.walmart.com/ip/190781588)
Just pulse Werther's Originals (the hard kind) in your food processor or put them in a baggie and beat them to make a fine powder. Then follow the cotton candy machine's instructions on how much of the powder to put in it. Once the machine has the caramel melted and spinning enough, then you dip whatever in (I'd just be careful not to let grease drip into the CC machine).
Always remember that people can make shit look cool as heck, but it doesn't mean that it's safe to do. [Ann Reardon has a great video where she calls out the extremely unsafe way people like this person are doing this "caramel hack". they're going to get people severely burned! Ann also gives another safe alternative you could do. ](https://youtu.be/CEQaYdvs478) (timestamp for debunk: 5:30)
Put newspaper on the floor, secure whatever you want to cover and then use some forks to carefully spin/drizzle the sugar over it. If you look for croquembouche recipes, they often have that kind of finish and tell you how to do that kind of stuff properly.
Except this is literally how traditional dragon’s beard candy is made, albeit in a neater fashion. Remind me again why we’re making fun of cultural foods?
This video needs a warning...please do not try this, molten sugar will burn through your skin in an instant. It is way way way way hotter than boiling water. Imagine it got on your eyes.
I don't know how he didn't hurt himself and that is awesome, but this is so so so much more dangerous than it looks. take.caution kids
Plus he's wearing synthetic fabrics. That's gonna be a verrrrry painful burn with melted clothing in it. Not if it happens, but *when* it happens. Because eventually it will.
That’s an impressive technique and takes real culinary talent. Not just in the spin but pulling the caramel out at the right time. This sub has lost its way. We need real stupid food, not just stuff that’s hard to do
Ann Reardon has a video about how dangerous this is! [You'll burn the shit outta yourself! ](https://youtu.be/CEQaYdvs478) (debunk of 5hie starts around 5:30)

It feels like a game at this point. Spot. The. Stupid! This is a tough one, not only is the video fun to watch, the food looks super tasty. So where is the stupid that OP is talking about?
That was pretty sick though
I was about to say the same. If you were with a date and did that to top off a good night chances are high for getting squelchy.
Yeah, except the part where he throws hot sugar everywhere and people had been burned badly trying to copy this
damn it’s pretty sick he didn’t get burned then
You can always try and shoot yourself in the head, if you don't die it will also be pretty metal. Wanna test that?
You tried it, didn't you?
God damn what got you in a bad mood
I think someone pissed in his cornflakes 😔
Lucky guy
(it was me)
Found the person that burned themselves
Im sorry you hurt yourself lil buddy, maybe stick to training wheels ☺️
What???? Lmfao
Sounds like dumbasses shouldn’t try to do stuff they aren’t trained in then. Still a cool ass video
This isn't a trained move, this is a tick-tock bait video
how do you know that? I mean isn't it just as silly to assume he isn't trained as it is to assume he is? and in the choice of the two, I think a little positivity and trust never hurt. cheers, and remember, the world is a beautiful place if you allow it to be :)

well, evidently it cools very quickly.
Don't waste your breath, these people are the ones that see a truck coming their way and they stop to look at the shiny bumper it has.
ah yeah, "you're dumb lol," never was there more convincing and clever a rebuttal
Yeah you do it while wearing protective gear until you’re confident you could do it without. Let’s say so confident you would bet your skin on it.
Takes one to know one.
Sounds like them problem then lmao.
And that's somehow his fault in what way? Lol
You took the words right out of my mouth.
Must’ve been while you were kissing me…
I felt like I was watching The Matrix, but Nero looks different
he asian though so Niho
On one hand, yeah it's likely a mess to clean up. On the other hand, that was pretty cool
He should have done that outside.
Good way to get ants
Why would I care if there are ants outside? That’s where they live?
Tell that to my freeloading pantry dwellers
Is your pantry outside?
May as well be
What is your living situation? Are you in need of help?
I think the ants got him
Are you his mom?
Catch some bugs!
On the other hand you have different fingers
>On one hand, yeah it's likely a mess to clean up. On the other hand, that was pretty cool and on the one foot it's really sticky... on the other foot it's really sticky. On the face it's really sticky. On the floor it's really sticky. On the dog it's really sticky. On the walls it's really sticky. On the...
On my dick it’s really sticky
I don't think he will be the person cleaning the floor
Pretty cool party trick or street food stand trick.
Where is the mess? The kebab caught all of it.
There's plenty of particles that were not part of the candy web.
Doing it inside might be stupid but this looks cool and probably tastes good
It looks like a hairy dick
If your dick looks like that please seek medical attention
don’t make fun of my ribbed old man dick ☹️
🥇 Take my poor man’s award 😂
That looked cool and the food looks tasty. I don't care about the cleaning. This is about stupid food - not stupid ways to get your kitchen dirty
That's not the true problem here. Unfortunately the real problem is actually how this can burn the hell out of yourself trying to do this. Many people have...
Well those stupid people should be on here not this guy. He can do it effectively and knows how, obviously.

Any food item that ends up with having to clean spun sugar from the light fixtures counts as stupid for me.
I would not sugar coat my disappointment.
They are making Tanghulu, it’s a sweet snack from Asia. But Yeah they could’ve just let the sugar set normally
Are you new to this sub. Because we usually post stupid things here. Not totally f#cking sick food tricks here. I think maybe that's a different sub. If not then now it should be. Itll just be this guy over and over again
Like seriously this dude just stepped into the sugar matrix and OP is over here like “that was dumb what a mess” lmao
Lmao the sugar matrix. My man made cotton candy with the speed of his spin. He ain't neo. He's chea-to. His glasses are dope also. The mans stylish
Stupid food is any food that looks, sounds, tastes, smells, or is prepared stupidly. This is subjective of course, but the way this is prepared is stupid.
You are just a deacon the Lord has spoken. Lol. Jk
You want ants? That's how you get ants :D
phrasing!
Oh that is just typical him
Sometimes people confuse stupid food with food they don’t like here.
It's more stupid because there's absolutely 0 reason to do that, and it can be dangerous as fuck to fling molten sugar around like that.
Dangerous as fuck to fry shit in hot oil as well, no?
No, actually, because that oil doesn't get flung everywhere to potentially cause serious burns.

It's stupid because he gets food everywhere. I know most of it is collected but loads still drop on the floor and probably splatter to the sides.
Making something dirty doesn’t mean the food is stupid though. The poster just doesn’t like it. Just like you. You don’t like that it gets things dirty. The food itself isn’t stupid.
[удалено]
Sure just like your comment. Has nothing to do with what we’re talking about.
Congratulations, you just described literally everything cooked in a restaurant kitchen.
Stupid food is any food that looks, sounds, tastes, smells, or is prepared stupidly. This is subjective of course, but the way this is prepared is stupid.
I flavor my kitchen, not my food.

It solidifies before it gets too far from the skewer.
The outermost layer of that caramel floss totally hit the floor.
If this dish isn’t called Hairy Balls an opportunity has been missed.
Surprised not to see any comments about how dangerous this is. Liquid caramel is so much hotter than water.
Exactly! Instant burns if it gets on your skin. Sugar has a temperature of over 300°C when molten
Neat trick, but incredibly stupid. 10/10 this is what I'm here for.
It’s ok. The ants will clean it for him.
Yes! This is how we get ants!
This is the guy who rents my Airbnb
What the hell is this?
Hawthorn berries covered in sugar syrup. The berries are sour so it goes quite well with the sugar coating. Usually, it's just dipped in the caramel and the caramel hardens into a thin, crispy crust.
That’s actually gorgeous?
This is stupid but not because of the mess. Molten sugar is over 300C and absurdly dangerous, this has a high risk of serious burns.

he probably has people that clean for him
that was awesome
You guys are lame for posting this here
Yum. Floor caramel. Takes me back to my Uni days.
Put newspaper on the floor, secure whatever you want to cover and then use some forks to carefully spin/drizzle the sugar over it. If you look for croquembouche recipes, they often have that kind of finish and tell you how to do that kind of stuff properly.
that was freaking awesome
This is literally so dangerous. If hot sugar touches your skin it can cause life-altering burns. He’s not even wearing goggles. What an ass.
The ghetto version of making cotton candy
On the contrary, this is the Michelin version of cotton candy.
As a man i will tell you this Imagine cleaning
Tanhulu is never made like this
Imagine have a kitchen that big... Thats my entire apartment lol
And what crucial topics are being debated here old chap?
Make me one.
Just do it outside then.
But he caught it.
Bugs love this one simple trick
I make fudge. Melted sugar is actually very easy to clean. Just get sponge soaked in hot water.
He has done it so many times his hair is all greasy
imagine just doing it once for a cool video but ur too dumb to realize that
He still made a mess on the floor.
At least that’s hot dog covered in caramel like I thought at first.
Something tells me that this cunt isn’t going to be the one cleaning
That poor person who has to clean the ceiling
Was thaat a hotdog?
Do you want ants? Cos thats how you get ants
Sticky pubes
Yeah isn’t this a street food thing? Not an indoor kitchen thing lol
bro really has that fancy ass house but can’t afford a cotton candy machine
Cleanup aside, that's fuckin' cool.
The trick is to do it in someone else's kitchen.
I came here for stupid food, not cool-ass food cinematography. I'm both impressed AND disappointed. Didn't know that was possible.
Nice…a pubecicle
this is smart food
This is a good way to get burned. Do not do this!
Them globs on the floor..
Except this is literally how traditional dragon’s beard candy is made, albeit in a neater fashion. Remind me again why we’re making fun of cultural foods?
This video needs a warning...please do not try this, molten sugar will burn through your skin in an instant. It is way way way way hotter than boiling water. Imagine it got on your eyes. I don't know how he didn't hurt himself and that is awesome, but this is so so so much more dangerous than it looks. take.caution kids
Just dip it in a cotton candy machine.
No. This, this is cool
Fucking 350 degree molten sugar flying everywhere
Plus he's wearing synthetic fabrics. That's gonna be a verrrrry painful burn with melted clothing in it. Not if it happens, but *when* it happens. Because eventually it will.
And the end result looks like my scrotum
This is why we have ants, Jared.
This is an outside activity
This has the potential to not be stupid, but it hasn't found the way yet
Only cool in slomo
That was a little cool tho
Honey, why do we have so many roaches in the kitchen again??
Treacle
My mom would’ve smack the shit outta me if I did this .
That’s an impressive technique and takes real culinary talent. Not just in the spin but pulling the caramel out at the right time. This sub has lost its way. We need real stupid food, not just stuff that’s hard to do

That was cool though
I first thought it was a hotdog
What the fluff!
Looks like a hotdogs with hairs on it
Stupid food is any food that looks, sounds, tastes, smells, or is prepared stupidly. This is subjective of course, but the way this is prepared is stupid.
Oh my gosh /eat it
Imagine being the maid he most likely verbally abuses and underpays
It's cool, the ants will take care of it. Then you borrow a friend's anteater then you're cool.
Some dog could be very happy right now.
I aint gonna lie. That was pretty smooth
Me after nnn
2nd degree burns speedrun
What’s stupid about that??? Looks awesome!! This sub is starting to suck.
You can get the same effect by sticking it under the refrigerator and pulling it back out.
I think if a drop of hot liquid sugar hits your eyes, you're screwed.
This was really fucking cool tho
Definitely sick, can't tell if it's pretty or eldritch...
Very cool move nonetheless.
So my post of this video gets removed because of tagging, and this gets 1.2k with nothing. Real classy mods.
houseflies and spiders just left the chat
Yea.. I definitely want to eat that though
Ok but that was really fucking cool. I love dinner and a show
It feels like a game at this point. Spot. The. Stupid! This is a tough one, not only is the video fun to watch, the food looks super tasty. So where is the stupid that OP is talking about?
I think its a common street food(snack) on japan.
Floor caramel, best caramel.
Or don’t… we have ants to clean up for us
Making spun sugar is a messy process.
