Scientists Warn Against Dangerous New TikTok Trend
According to the DailyMail.co.uk, a scientist from the American Chemical Society is calling this new TikTok trend, “somewhere between insane and suicidal.” People are attempting to deep fry water. To complete the challenge people are combining water with calcium alginate to create a sphere. Then the “water balls” are coated it with flour, egg, and breadcrumbs before finally being dropped in the fryer.
The issue is that if the sphere created with the calcium alginate comes apart, water will leak into the fryer. If the water meets the hot oil there could potentially be a huge exposition. Check out a video of the challenge below:
