I can understand getting sugar from milk. Their is actually two types of C6 H12 O6 (chemical formula for sugar) in milk. Both structures of sugar, glucose and glactose, are bonded together. For you chemists out their I think all sugars are left handed molecules. People who lack the enzyme to break this bond are also known as lactose intolerant. I am still looking for a way to seperate the sugar from milk. My grandpa is a food scientist, and he worked for the government for many years as one. I can understand getting sugar from milk.

And why place it in the freezer for at least 24 hours in the box when you can spread it on a sheet of paper (or more in the situation of freezing the entire box) for more efficient freezing.

This is a poor con video to get money out of Metacafe. Adrian Linda,

If you had done it after the third attempt, you would have changed the course of science. Rediculous. . this is a FAKE lol.

I'm not sure if this means anything, but it sure didn't help for the director to do that... in addition to all the other editing mistakes. Aslo at 2:01 at the top left of the glass there is a black dot...... then at 2:05 it vanishes..... at the same time as all the other stuff that the director screwd up!!! And I honestly don't think the towel moved, it was just the light. But after all that..... very clever..... but yet...... not so clever!!!

It doesnt take a genius to see the cleverness in this video. Lets discuss some reasons why this TRICK is debunked. Reason 1 - Citric concentrate only comes in liquid form as a cleaning agent for carpets and other surfaces...not powder! Reason 2 - The video director made sure there was no label on his citric concentrate container. Also the powder he claims is citric concentrate looks suspiciously like refined sugar grains! Reason 3 - He turned on the right handle of his faucet which would normally be COLD water. Reason 4 - Why in the world would the honey need to be heated by warm water instead of a microwave? Both would accomplish the same thing. Reason 5 - Freezing baking powder or a mixture of any other powder for that matter, would not change the chemical or physical composition. Reason 6 - As its been brought out...The towel flickers at about 2:00sec.... meaning he cuts the top half of the video when he leaves the scene, so when the bottom half of the video fades to the glass with sugar he won’t be misplaced. All of the evidence suggests that the director has given certain clues about the obvious validity of such an experiment. Either purposely or by mistake he has apprised the answer to the begging question in all those naive minds....Does this really work?!?! The answer is NO!!! The one word used to sum up this video should be CLEVER. I challenge anyone to even find a citric concentrate to perform the experiment properly! You wont be able to. And now excuse me while I go make my own convincing video to make money. Ok first off this was a clever ploy to earn rewards from metacafe.com by getting as many people as possible to view it.

I was fooled for a second, I actually thought of trying it =) you can see the towel move, the shadow of the glass moves slightly when he comes back into picture, and if you think about it he might not be alone, so at any time he can stay still and someone else change glasses. Fake but cool prank!!! God!!!

I don't think what you see is real. That reaction does not work as described. M?1 is perpetuating a fraud. What is "citric concentrate"? There is no known rxn between baking soda and milk except to make the milk turn sour and curdle up. The added honey does nothing at all. It just makes a disgusting mess. Look at the towel in the video. At around 2:06 it flickers or moves because the video has been edited. Don’t believe everything you see (or read) on the internet.

First, there is a typo in the opening title...left out the word "to". No biggie on the typo but you will also notice he turned on the right handle of his faucet which would normally be COLD water. Notice how the "citric concentrate" he measures into the spoon has grains that closely resemble sugar. Citric acid, if I recall correctly, normally has more of a powdery consistency. As for the result, I don't know of any chemical reaction that can absorb the large amount of water into a crystalline matrix that would be required here. If you try this, you will notice the honey sinks and becomes a goey ball at the bottom of the glass. Notice there is no clumping of the grains he pours out and there is no "un-reacted" residue on the bottom of the glass. It's a good trick but don't expect to get sugar from it. It looks like a video version of a "Snipe Hunt" :>) Some comments on this “trick”. First, there is a typo in the opening title…left out the word “to”.
