I've heard of this story before. It's pretty common in most collegiate chemical engineering courses studies. From what I heard , Vladimir had accidentally dipped his gum into a small cache of picric acid by mistake, instead of the citric acid he commonly used to give his gum a tarty kick. Picric acid is commonly used in explosives manufacturing, as a way to enhance traditional explosives substances (like RDX and other common plastiques). It's also used in other applications, like metallurgy (similar to prussic acid), so it was probably "borrowed" from the university by Vlad for a school project he was working on; he just got careless which cost him his life. In some ways, this story mirrors the same end of life event that Alan Turing went through as well.
Isn't picric acid yellow? Unless there's a way to change its color, I find it hard to believe this is the mystery chemical, since it was mentioned in the video that the powder was white. I find the TATP hypothesis to be more likely, since it apparently has a fruit-like smell when pure. That might make mixing them up slightly more probable. But unless a sample can be acquired and analysed, I guess we'll never truly know for sure
@@yann1ck666 Like others, I also thought of picric acid. But you are correct, it is yellow. Picric acid is also used in medical laboratories as an ingredient in certain histological stains.
The mention about if powdered citric acid goes airborn it could be ignited by a spark and cause an explosion is weird... that has absolutely nothing to do with the citric acid. Almost ANY powder is the same. Flour, sugar (powdered sugar works best, the finer the powder the better), corn starch, powdered coffee creamer, etc, any powdered substance when finely disbursed in the air creates a fuel-air mixture which can ignite and produce a stupendously powerful explosion. Like, seriously powerful. The kind of thing they use to demolish bridges and large structures. It's what causes grain silos to sometimes explode.
The powder has to have an exothermic reaction with oxygen possible. Sugar etc are all organic molecules that can be oxidized into water + CO2, like our bodies do. Most metals, such as iron, will also burn explosively under these conditions. Gold and completely oxidized compounds like table salt or silicon dioxide will not.
One of my all time favorite Mythbusters episodes is when Kari, Grant, and Tory try out the coffee creamer cannon and it is much more effective than they were expecting. Sufficiently effective that they actually jump back and Kari goes to run because they were afraid for a minute that they hadn't gotten far enough out of the blast radius.
Well he dipped his gum in the powder, shoved it in his mouth, and the bite caused an explosive reaction. True, not a normal gun chewing circumstance, but it probably would not have happened if not for his gum addiction. So it's a little connected.
You forgot the most important detail. Acetone Peroxide in it's purest form SMELLS FRUITY. When it's impure it smells like bleach. So fruity sour powder or fruity kaboom powder. How do you tell them apart? not my sight, smell, or taste.
If that's what the mystery powder was, then I'm sure that just exacerbated the situation 😅 Poor dude, though; his habit of dipping his gum in citric acid ended up costing him his life because of a simple mistake.
The name alone makes my ears perk up. Acetone is an extremely potent solvent that is also highly volitile and flammable. I know peroxide from hydrogen peroxide, which I have seen dissolve blood within seconds with a sizzling foam. Also used to bleach hair. And that stuff can go off from UV light and shock. Meaning dropping a bottle removes your house from the street. Leaving it on the window still can make opening the window unneccesary, since it turns into a open room.
So a chemist, who regularly works with white powders, would not label his multiple white powders? I feel like the dude could have invested in a sharpie if he knew he regularly handles bags of white powder.
I have a sneaking suspicion he may have been putting more than one white powder into his body on the regular which may have had his brain working at less than full capacity
A chemistry student. There is a time in their education where they know enough to make things happen but don't understand that the more important part of chemistry is to know how to make things not happen. I only had to pay for some glass ware until I learned it the hard way. ... alright, more than some.
you might be surprised by how frequently safety protocols are not followed--or even taught--in college laboratories. especially by people who are in the lab all the time. they get careless. i was briefly in an electronics lab where the (very old and experienced) lab supervisor never spoke to us about wearing an ESD strap and was even annoyed when another student insisted on using one. this is a top-tier private university in the US 💀
It took me a few seconds to figure out exactly who this was about. Back in Chem and bio labs, rule numer 1 always is to never bring anything you plan to injest to the place you're going to work (more specifically, the labs themselves), doubly so in chem. And then to clean yourself thoroughly after when we worked with actual chemicals, before eating.
There's one big dilemma: TNT, RDX, etc. can be hammered, shot or burnt WITHOUT exploding! Fulminates and peroxides on the other hand are inherently unsafe to handle. Putting it into a bag and mindlessly carrying it home is utter lunacy! It would be a miracle that it didn't explode before he reached his home! These things can explode due to impact and friction. The latter is a big problem if you squeeze a bag of that stuff...
As for acetone peroxide, he could safely transport it in solvated form, and leave it at home to dry out and crystalize. But that crystals... actually there wasn't any other possible scenario for them except for exploding from a miniscule force.
As a Chemist, we did steal citric acid from the lab to clean water cooker, coffee machines, etc. Someone had ordered a 10kg bucket because it was so cheap and did only a few experiments with it using next to nothing (it makes a decent buffer). It's IMHO much better than acetic acid for removing calcium carbonate deposits. The latter has too much evaporation and then it becomes irritating. Also, it leaves less of a taste behind... Naturally, this was a significant breach of lab security and not the only one! A big problem for us was that anything written on containers would fade away in storage and labels would peel off. This has resulted in multiple accidents. The funniest of them was someone thinking it to be a good idea to pour water onto an unidentified white powder in a Schlenk tube. We assume that it was LiAlH4, as that tube turned into a flamethrower...
I have an idea on how the lab ended up with that bucket. "Oh,the stuff is extremely cheap. I'll order the big pack, that way we won't run out at inconvenient times." 10 minutes later: "why is the citric acid empty..."
"He chewed gum and died." Well, he chewed gum _and_ mistook (possibly) an illegal explosive with citric acid... and died. I think you could safely replace the gum in this scenario with candy screamers and get the same results.
My chemistry teacher in high school loved playing with explosives. He ultimately lost his job when he created and then detonated some silver fulminate in class. The classroom was upstairs from the principal's wife and her classroom.
Nitric acid powder. 1 letter difference. Nitric acid monohydrate decomposes into nitrates which are highly explosive. it likes to react with metals, so maybe a filling of a cavity in his teeth triggered a catalitic reaction which resulted in an explosion.
Immediatly remembered the show when it was mentioned that he was dunking his used gum into somekind of powder and suddenly his jaw blew off. Loved that show.
Dude, I eat more than a couple handfuls of those and my mouth and tongue hurt... I could never imagine eating a whole bag at once, let alone two family sized bags....
On bright side, you'll space out eating them more and make a bag last longer, I remember eating an entire bag of sour patch kids as a kid and my tongue was TENDER.
If you swish them around in your mouth you'll be fine. They only burn your skin if you hold them in one spot too long which is probably what the kids who got hurt did.
@@DemICE666DW those are only the office chairs that are in china, any office/gaming chair you're buying anywhere else is not going to have this type of fault.
Warheads are delicious. I used to burn my tongue eating handfuls at a time as a kid. But they come individually wrapped to prevent that, so it took a lot of unwrapping to break the rule of not eating 10 at once
Man learning about the acidity of warheads burning holes in your mouth is terrifying seeing as I used to eat like 3-4 at a time because I LOVE sour things and it was never sour enough for me…
I don't remember what youtuber it was but years ago I followed this youtuber who once did a "Warheads challenge" where he would try to eat a whole giant bowl of them. His mouth was bloody and he was in so much pain but he kept going. I have no idea why he persisted. Edit: It was Furious Pete.
I remember this happening to a kid at a sleepover when I was younger. She'd eaten a bunch of salt and vinegar chips and fell asleep without brushing her teeth. She woke up with her tongue shredded! It actually looked like it was peeling. This was so traumatic, I can still clearly picture it 30 years later
Are you allergic, perhaps? (Because so am I, but for some reason I get hives and then my hands and feet get all peely once the hives go away.. It's not fun - the peeling drives me absolutely insane - but it's also not exactly life-threatening, so I suppose it could be worse 😅)
I actually had to be hospitalized this week due to a severe electrolyte imbalance. At first I didn't think anything was wrong and people started saying asking if I was all right. I felt completely normal. About 6 hours later I am on the floor feel like I'm paralyzed I hear saws going and it sounds like I was in an accident. Thankfully all of this was delusions due to the seizure and I was not being pulled from a car wreck. It was extremely terrifying than was only caused by me switching from drinking tea Gatorade and other fluids to just water. I wasn't drinking a terrible ton of it either. Probably about 2 to 2 and 1/2 l a day. It only took me 3 days to completely rid my body of electrolytes and I knew that an imbalance can be deadly but I did not know if that they can cause seizures delusions and fainting.
OMG, I know ammonia and chlorine make a lethal gas, safe storage needed, so now do I have to worry about my nail polish remover and hydrogen peroxide mixing and exploding in my cosmetics bag too?
My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.
The use of hazardous chemicals, even for school projects, carries significant risk. Stories like these encourage future engineers and scientists to follow rigorous safety procedures and reflect on the ethical responsibility that comes with handling powerful substances.
8:05 Are these kids completely incapable of pain in their mouth!? Because there's enough sour to legitimately cause real physical pain within a split second that'll force you to take it out of your mouth through your self preservation instinct.
Do you typically take home poorly labeled containers of chemicals and keep them near things you're going to put in your mouth? Because you really shouldn't do that.
5:10 the biggest problem with that is people allergic to mold. The amount of mycotoxins in the synthetic citric acid are safe to consume for most, but not those allergic to it. And since the vast majority dont know that the "citric acid" listed on their food/drink/cosmetic is made via mold, they dont realize that this is the cause, especially if they think "hey I can eat lemons, so it cannot be that" (talking from experience).
Yeah I ate 10 Warheads at once. Skin on my tongue peeled like a snake. I don't remember it hurting or anything though. Just a white tongue that grossed everyone out when I peeled it lmao
I remember hearing a story like this from other kids in first grade, except it was a video of a guy dipping his gum in flavoring a few times then accidentally dipping it in gun powder
with the recent string of videos involving grill enjoying the thing being described as a way to potentially kill you, the more i'm convinced he's become the audience surrogate
3:23 I can attest to that. I’m convinced my tmj started because I chewed so much gum in school that my jaw got of kilter and I wasn’t allowed to chew it anymore. 7 ish years later and I still can’t chew gum without pain
I love this channel. I love how the characters make the videos more fun and entertaining, and there is some educational aspects to these videos as well.
Silver fulminate is used in a variety of commercial fireworks and is chemically similar to mercury (II) fulminate, which was used as a non-corrosive alternative to potassium chlorate-based percussion caps and self-contained ammunition primers in the 19th and 20th centuries, but has fallen out of favor. Mercury (II) fulminate could cause mercury poisoning in factory workers that handled the chemical in the course of their duties, so it would be highly controlled and almost certainly wasn’t the culprit. It also weakens cartridge brass over time due to mercury amalgamation, which has led to it being largely abandoned in favor of better alternatives.

As a finn raised with Xylitol gum the warning about chewing gum CAUSING tooth decay sounds wrong since that's the complete opposite of the reason we the gum for XD
8:00 the same kinda thing can happen if you eat too much of foods that contain citric acid, only progressing much slower I’ve gotten many canker sores from my childhood obsession with tomatoes that has died down but is still mildly present today. I loved the taste of tomatoes and tomato products to the point most of my diet contained citric acid, keep in mind though I was also often eating oranges, eating things containing lemon juice, eating a lot of harsh mint products and have motor issues that make me get mouth injuries often which is what causes the start of a canker sore. Moderation is key I ate a whole party size tub of cherry tomatoes literally bigger than my head within the span of an hour and my mouth was in agony for weeks
What ive learnt from this channel is that anything can kill you
Same, including a chair 😭
With enough unluckiness and dosage
Well yeah, if you put a explosive chemical on any safe object, it will turn it deadly.

This is why we don't put hazardous chemicals in containers that look like what we put food in.
Even mugs that look like beakers make me nervous. I know they're for nerds who want to show off their love of science but they make me feel twitchy.
There's always that one guy in a factory who's way too cavalier about using old beverage containers for work related liquids.

I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.
Took me too long of scrolling to find someone else who made a jojoke

The use of hazardous chemicals, even for school projects, carries significant risk. Stories like these encourage future engineers and scientists to follow rigorous safety procedures and reflect on the ethical responsibility that comes with handling powerful substances.
White powdery substance. "Are you thinking of citric acid? "No I was not." 💀💀💀😅😅😅
Oop. My sis ate too many sour Skittles when she was younger and she burned the top layer of her tongue once. Had to do the ice treatment. 😢
What I learned from this channel is that anything can kill anyone and coffee is good
8:05
Are these kids completely incapable of pain in their mouth!?
Because there's enough sour to legitimately cause real physical pain within a split second that'll force you to take it out of your mouth through your self preservation instinct.
9:47 so what I'm hearing is that the law allows too much malic acid to be used
Another phobia unlocked. Thanks Brew 😂.
I’m a chronic gum chewing person I had to see if the idf got to the gum supply
that guy in the headband infuriates me so much and I can't explain it
thanks for making me insecure about everything I do I my life, I apperciate it
Don't eat explosive powder and you'll be fine
Do you typically take home poorly labeled containers of chemicals and keep them near things you're going to put in your mouth? Because you really shouldn't do that.
"How it feels to chew 5 gum."
"Stimulate your death."
1:29 POV: anything kills someone:
dont dip your chewing gum into explosive powder, got it, thanks brew, very helpful life advice
Brew: a place where you learn everything wants to kill you
5:10 the biggest problem with that is people allergic to mold. The amount of mycotoxins in the synthetic citric acid are safe to consume for most, but not those allergic to it. And since the vast majority dont know that the "citric acid" listed on their food/drink/cosmetic is made via mold, they dont realize that this is the cause, especially if they think "hey I can eat lemons, so it cannot be that" (talking from experience).
Yeah I ate 10 Warheads at once. Skin on my tongue peeled like a snake.
I don't remember it hurting or anything though. Just a white tongue that grossed everyone out when I peeled it lmao
Summary; His jaw was eradicated from existence.
Ive stopped eating most sour candy because I ate too much in college and it started burning my mouth so bad.
Same, I only ever eat sour gummy worms if I want something sour. Anything else I just wouldn't like because it's too sour.
I’m surprised Brew hasn’t gone over this event already, it’s always an interesting story!
*sigh* guess I gotta stop chewing gum..
he dipped it in an explosive substance
I remember hearing a story like this from other kids in first grade, except it was a video of a guy dipping his gum in flavoring a few times then accidentally dipping it in gun powder
New videos from Brew and Chubbyemu 😊 time to find out how I can damage my health
with the recent string of videos involving grill enjoying the thing being described as a way to potentially kill you, the more i'm convinced he's become the audience surrogate
Honestly that is a headcanon I 100% accept
There needs to be an Oompa Loompa song
😂
There is an Oompa Loompa song, it’s called chewing chewing all day long.
Oompa loompa doompity dexplosives...
@@DesktopPanda96 😂
3:23 I can attest to that. I’m convinced my tmj started because I chewed so much gum in school that my jaw got of kilter and I wasn’t allowed to chew it anymore. 7 ish years later and I still can’t chew gum without pain
Always a good day when you upload
5:12 Whoa whoa be careful there buddy
This video represents the brain of a person with ADHD
you know its gonna be a good day when brew posts
10 warheads is crazy
4:42 THAT MOAN HELP- 💀
There are 2 times when I spit my gum
1) When a fly flew into my mouth
2) this video
I love this channel. I love how the characters make the videos more fun and entertaining, and there is some educational aspects to these videos as well.
How it feels to Chew 5 gum:
who knew coating your gum in explosives would make it explode
3:12 am I the only one that hears Shadow
Yes
Nope-
Silver fulminate is used in a variety of commercial fireworks and is chemically similar to mercury (II) fulminate, which was used as a non-corrosive alternative to potassium chlorate-based percussion caps and self-contained ammunition primers in the 19th and 20th centuries, but has fallen out of favor.
Mercury (II) fulminate could cause mercury poisoning in factory workers that handled the chemical in the course of their duties, so it would be highly controlled and almost certainly wasn’t the culprit. It also weakens cartridge brass over time due to mercury amalgamation, which has led to it being largely abandoned in favor of better alternatives.
this channel made me scared of everything
Isn't this the story where someone chewed explosive gum after accidentally dunking it in the wrong chemical? Yeah, I've heard that before.
Citric acid along with others the FDA allows. Just like how many rat hairs annd bug parts allowed in our foods!😊
> FDA regulation gets neutered.
> Companies putting lead into our foods to improve the taste
> Republicans: yes, yes we need more donors and voters.
How many rat hairs and bug parts does the FDA allow in our foods?
@@Yourhandleisntavailable I don’t know the exact number. You can google it.or maybe look up the FDA website?
@@Yourhandleisntavailable there’s no way to avoid it. When you have huge vats of different foods or parts of foods. The farmers who. Grow certain parts of foods. It’s pretty much impossible to not have any rat hairs and even more so.. bug parts. There is or can be a certain amount of bug parts and rodent hairs in peanut butter.
@@maestromike91971 Do you know how many rat hairs and bug parts are allowed in our foods? Do you know someone who knows how many bug parts and rodent hairs are allowed in our foods?
As a finn raised with Xylitol gum the warning about chewing gum CAUSING tooth decay sounds wrong since that's the complete opposite of the reason we the gum for XD
And the lesson is
Never chew ANYTHING tragically.
No, the lesson is never ingest explosive substances
I just learned that the warhead sour spray I so loved as a child is almost as acidic as battery acid, and now this?
Warhead sour spray is almost as acidic as battery acid?
1 minute ago is diabolical
no
@@CristeJohn yes
With all the food product tampering that’s gone on in history, I’m surprised I haven’t heard of someone putting nitroglycerin in chewing gum.
4:16 amogus dun dun dun dun dun

8:00 the same kinda thing can happen if you eat too much of foods that contain citric acid, only progressing much slower
I’ve gotten many canker sores from my childhood obsession with tomatoes that has died down but is still mildly present today. I loved the taste of tomatoes and tomato products to the point most of my diet contained citric acid, keep in mind though I was also often eating oranges, eating things containing lemon juice, eating a lot of harsh mint products and have motor issues that make me get mouth injuries often which is what causes the start of a canker sore.
Moderation is key
I ate a whole party size tub of cherry tomatoes literally bigger than my head within the span of an hour and my mouth was in agony for weeks
I am never eating gum again
This is one of my favorite channels
It's Kyiv, not Kiev
west people still call it "Kiev"? I think we should start calling America as Amerik
Kiev is the English spelling, Kyiv is the Ukranian/Russian spelling
So, how many videos in is this in the "Jaw removal" ark of Brew?
Sorry to say this but - the other characters talked too much, it greatly decreased my interest in the video
tiktok attention span
😐
Then don't watch I think it's rather enjoyable and I'm sure others do as well it's always been like this
As someone who has eaten 3 Warheads at once multiple times, I find myself a little alarmed.
2:33 you can read the nutrition facts
So what
@@Anne_Onymous so what what
Everything takes your jaw off, gum, radiative stuff, born with it, going 312 mph with wind force blown at you
5:13 N mold
I can imagine a Brew video titled “How Licking An Ice Cream Ended A Man’s Life”
