    I’ve lived in China for 22 years and you used to see much bigger ones on the street markets exploding into sacks! The sound was immense!
  • @leonhardeuler675
    Good to know that Dan has a lot of confidence in the integrity of the popcorn maker (he says with a bandaged up hand).
  • @Valyn
    I love that you guys aren't trying to always one up yourself. Forcing everything to 'bigger and better'. And instead just finding interesting things to film. Even if it is less epic than a previous episode.
  • @Neptunequeen42
    Sometimes I forget the high-speed actually has no sound. The little sound effects that get added in post are always spot-on!
  • @blobfish.
    I'll never get sick of Dan, Explosives Expert, shielding himself behind crappy folding tables 😂
  • @PressA2Die
    You know there is going to be a good video coming out in the future when Dan has unexplained bandages on.
  • @BrOckSams0n
    Dan with a bandaged hand telling us how confident he is that something won't explode is priceless
  • @swalloich
    There are very few channels that manage to get as big as you guys are and maintain the same feel as it had from the start. Well done lads.
  • @PierceArner
    “Snap, Crackle, and BANG!” was an amazing joke by Dan.
  • @beeeennnnnnn
    one of the few channels thats been around for so long and hasnt changed one bit, love it!
  • @VinayVarsani
    5:19 seeing the pressure gauge move that much and that fast even in slow mo is crazy
  • Quick tip for the rice trick, use whole grain rice instead of white rice. The “pop” comes from the release of water inside the kernel. A lot of this comes from the endosperm that is removed when white rice is refined. The bran and outer husk will increase the pressure inside the rice kernel as well so more of them should pop.

    I’m beginning to think Gav has a life insurance policy on Dan and is secretly trying to take him out Edit was to change a typo from in to on

    You guys are the first YouTube channel I ever watched consistently almost 12 years ago now. Its so nice to see how you stayed loyal to your content and yourselves! You truly kept it real, and You guys are still the most entertaining and interesting Youtubers out there
  • @InsomniacBogart
    From 05:17 to 05:32 you can observe how the stray kernel that went for Gav starts out small and brown and actually slowly expands in flight while it gets puffy-white 🤩
  • @Leonagraphy
    This gives me popcorn gun vibes. Like, imagine a Batman villain that just has a gun that shoots popcorn instead of bullets. Terrifying.
  • @pevvyndrake
    Been watching these lads for a while now. Good to see they still make each giggle like kids together.
  • @der_conni
    I really love your sounds, especially the little details like the metallic pling when the lid hits the case.
