Myth Busters, PLEASE πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»

We really need the mythbusters back :(

I was curious so I did a little bit of research(as in duckduckgo was useless so I asked chatgpt). While stomach acid loses its acidity fairly quickly after death how quickly it happens depends on various environmental factors. Regardless, popcorn kernels apparently pop between 175-200Β°C(400F). But bodies are cremated between 760-982Β°C(1400-1800F). So depending on how quickly those temperatures are reached it's probably more likely that any remaining kernels would just burn.

There's a chance though. We need some practical experiments.

Maybe slam some high heat oil before death too, give those kernels a better chance

It just wouldn't be the same without Jamie and Adam with their maker/special effects know how.

It would wind up being some YouTubers most likely

No, it wouldn't be the same. Doesn't necessarily mean bad though, the format is still great. You're right though, it would probably be some really young YouTubers so they can appeal to a young audience, as if they only watched people as old as them. I think you need at least one person with a lot of experience in SFX or a similar field

ADAM: I underestimated this. I think we should go 1 pound. 10 pounds? 20??
JAMIE: 20 pounds of kernels is like half a 5 gallon bucket. You wanna fill a body cavity, you're gonna need 70, 80, 90 pounds.

I've heard it said Rudy always looks like he just accidentally sat on his balls and ever since I can't help but see how accurate of a description that is

Lavell Crawford has got that look!

Also, swallow a random stainless steel object -- like a machined pawn from a fancy chess set or something. Just to fuck with the coroner. If the coroner misses it, it'll show up in the ask pile..

Also a good last meal idea if you’re facing the electric chair

Also works good with a time release mentos/soda container.

What happens when you eat those? Do you have an oven in your stomach or something?

Do you not know what cremation is?
