Yeah…this isn’t even remotely ice. It’s fucking cool, but it’s a commonly-mentioned reaction when talking about saturation of solution. Boiling and cooling the solution produces a supersaturated solution, and touching it creates a nucleation point, causes all of the excess CH3COONa to come out of solution and crystallize really fast around that point.
That’s pretty fuckin’ awesome.
Awesome nice i want to try too!!!!
sweet
kick ass!!!!!!!!!! super special awsome! i am gana try that (can you eat it)???????
Im guessing definitely not eat-able.
so wait…is it really hot?

i saw a magic trick involving changing water to ice, i think this might be the solution
this remids me of ice-nine from Kurt Vonnegut’s Cat’s Cradle. pretty wild.

lol, i thought he was gonna make a sculpture of a penis =\
I did this in my grade 11 chemistry class but we wern’t allowed to play with it like that… bastards.
