[@mmastolin]

The rice hack is a myth!! If rice is sitting in an opened container on a humid day doesn't start to absorb water or softened Then why would it absorb water from your products? Also, NOT TOUCHING your product, so even if it did absorb (which it doesn't), how would it be any more effective than just leaving it uncovered and letting the moisture evaporate naturally? And finally, the only reason why your phone or electronics will work after leaving in rice is be what breaks your phone if the electronics inside are short circuiting. And leving it alone and NOT TURNING IT ON while all the liquid evaporates is what saves it. lt's NOT rice absorbing water

[@giobbistar21]

The cup in the movie IIRC was made of wax, and Gene had to actually chew it until the take was over. Obviously sugarcraft has evolved in leaps and bounds since then but you have to imagine if Gene had the choice between a well handcrafted wax version and a sugarcrafted “Babish” version, he’d take the latter.

[@D71219ONE]

Having seen photos of some of the amazing creations my great grandma made with sugar in the 60s, I have to imagine they could’ve produced a sugar variation for the film. However, keep in mind they also had to make dozens of the teacups in the scene. I imagine wax made the production much faster and more uniform.

[@StriderZessei]

That, and the intense heat from studio lighting would likely have melted the sugar cups.

[@anachyinuk]

I did find it funny that he ended up using wax like the original in the film.

[@Konarcoffee]

Probably the wax version TBH. Wax is pretty nice to chew on and better than have to navigate a sticky and sharp sugar that could make you sick with multiple takes

[@hermeticbear]

yeah, it was probably wax because it was easier to make and it could stand up to the rigors of filming on a sound stage. I've met some master sugar sculpture people who learned from masters back in the 60's and the only difference in work and techniques is the preferred and popular styles and appearances.

He was one of the greatest actors of all time; however, I loved those wax soda bottle candies and wax lips as a kid. I can’t imagine chewing the wax teacup was the most impressive of his skills showcased in that film. 😅

he wasn't exactly given much of a choice.

[@BoarBound]

The fact you didn't use white-chocolate to make that astounds me. It's structure and consistency is so much like the wax used in the original.

[@prailock]

This might be because the Wonka Factory was based on Dahl's childhood chocolate companies from the 1920s and white chocolate wasn't invented until the 1930s. Or at least, we can pretend this is the answer.

I wish places would sell edible chocolate or sugar teacups, where you can eat the cup after drinking what you poured in. Edible straws were a thing, so edible teacups could be possible.

[@nancyjohnson7147]

In the original movie the flower tea cup (called a butter cup) was actually wax. And was one of the only things in the room not edible, he had to chew and then spit it out after the camera was off. That's what makes this video so funny actually.

I think most of us can agree that Mr. Wilder taking a bite out of that cup is one of the better food moments in film history. It certainly captivated me as a child and I am tickled to see it being re-created in the BCU! Great show as always!

[@DonnaPinciot]

I loved the idea of a cup that you eat after you finish drinking from it. And for food, too. I love breadbowls because it's a bowl, that you eat! I always imagined eating the plate Wonka had when I was done, too.

[@charliegold14]

In the newest Frog and Toad Christmas special (which is very cute and true to the vibe of the books btw), they make something called “ice cream soup.” I’d be extremely curious to see Babish culinary universe’s take on that!

Proposal: Maybe we could combine the sugar glass cup idea with the sugar gum? Instead of beeswax, maybe the gum could be molded directly onto the cup so we already have a barrier built in with extra flavour and crunch on top of it. Could probably give it better structural integrity too. Granted, I'm no food expert and this probably will end in a lot of sweet nectar spilling all over my kitchen counter but it's worth a shot, right?

[@Cmdylvr]

Wildly intense. What a process. Major props for even attempting that.

[@sparrowt4082]

Fun Fact: the teacup in the movie was made of wax, and they added the "crunch" in post. :)

[@bazookaluke467]

Also, Gene Wilder taking a bite was not in the script, he just did it and they kept it in post.

[@darrelsam419]

This makes me so happy. I've always loved the books and the movies (yes even the one from 2005, though I like the original more), and I've been fascinated by the various types of sweets in the book and movies, especially the room with the field and chocolate river where everything is edible. It would be amazing if you tried making other sweets seen in the book or movies, but it's understandable that most of them are impossible. I'm already so happy that you made the teacup flower.

[@nomoretwitterhandles]

I'm gonna be entirely real with you.... I don't know why the Johnny Depp version gets so much hate LOL. I was never obsessed with either movie, both felt kinda creepy to me. Part of it was that Gene's version was filmed during an odd era where pretty much all films at the time seemed a little creepy; Johnny Depp's version was creepy for some very obvious reasons (the whole movie was quite dark). That being said, I don't think either of the movies are bad. In fact, I think they both have their own unique charm. As of recently, I know the internet has been clowning on the new Wonka movie, but I thought it looked really cute and magical and wonderous, which is what I WANTED from the first two movies but never really got it. Of course it's a little "cringe", but like... isn't anything weird kinda inherently cringe? That's the beauty of it!!! I think the internet is just bitter and sad, so don't feel too ashamed for liking the 2005 version. A LOT of people liked the 2005 version; people are only just now hating on it because they're either addicted to nostalgia bait, or because they hate Johnny Depp because Twitter told them to. Nobody has once stopped to consider that maybe the entire story itself, books and movies included, is just downright wacky!! It's fine to be wacky, and honestly, THAT is what I gathered from ANY version of the story. You can't help liking what you like! (Edited for clarity)

[@peabody1976]

I feel like sugarwork was close, but had you tested using isomalt instead to see if that would have held? And for a cup and saucer, I kept thinking that the teacup itself needed a flat base that could sit atop the saucer without sticking to it. But I'm so fascinated by the gum paste version that I'm applauding how much work and effort and testing went into this! Thank you, all!

[@SuperOMGFTWBBQ]

Round of applause for the copyright free intro! 👏👏👏

[@saddo.masochist]

[@kattriella1331]

White chocolate has too low of a melting point. It would literally melt in your hands, and you DEFINITELY wouldn't want to put hot tea in it.

[@DougSalad]

I always LOVED Wonka taking a bite of the cup. During the intro, the Candy Man sings that "you can even eat the dishes", and Wonka eating the cup is such a perfect cap on that.

[@aliyasexception]

[@MrStickman1997]

I bet Gene Wilder is looking down on this video now and thinking "Now why didn't the filmmakers think of that?" The actual flower cup was made of wax, probably similar to that of candy corn.

[@TheParadoxGamer1]

Gene, staring down, absolute dismay that he had to bite into wax so many times on camera.

[@JarrodFrates]

No, just wax, and it tasted like it, certainly not like candy corn. It was unappealing but he just acted through it.

[@slothfulcobra]

I always thought it'd be like some kind of molded wafer that would slowly soak the tea in. Especially with the crunch. Of course in the movie I think they used something nasty and dubiously edible

I see lots of people also advertise those companies that claim to take your info off of people search websites but those are also a scam. A lot of the popular ones need proof that the person asking to take it down is the person on the website and the companies can’t do that legally, so some info stays up. It’s also always a losing battle since every time you move or change your phone number they can update your info and put it back up claiming it isn’t the one you asked to take down so you have to go through the whole process over again.

Johnny Razer has a video going over the terrible user experience the program has. They were caught listing therapists as available through there service who were not available to inflate the perception that they could get you connected to a therapist then gave you the runaround with therapists being unable to make appointments or actual zoom calls. Any therapists in the regular industry who are pushed to burnout quit their primary jobs and work for Better Help temporarily while they recover. Otherwise they are just doing the gig while starting their own practice. Better Help knows this and exploits this in the labor pool. Otherwise if a therapist uses the platform for more than a year you really have to ask them if they have a sense of self worth or dignity as the platform is not set up for a sustainable income.

The area inside the phone is very small, egress is narrow, the dehumidification of dry rice really won't do a lot to accelerate the drying process. B) The drying process is where most of the damage takes place. Corrosion and mineral deposition builds up as the water evaporates and is the main cause of damage to the device. If you can't take your ideally still-wet phone to a repair shop to get them to clean it internally, shut it off if it isn't already and dunk it in 99% isopropyl alcohol for some time. The alcohol will sap any water that got inside away into the bath, as well as any dissolved minerals along with it - and is non-conductive so won't cause shorts. It also dries quicker and cleaner. Do not attempt this if your device has a seperate backlight layer from the LCD, as in the non-OLED nintendo switches. Liquid will get in between, will never dry, and will look bubbly forever.

Babish, I'm sure you mean well, but you need to properly vet potential sponsors because Betterhelp has been exposed as a scam.

I fully expected it to be made from white chocolate, especially with the shot of the Wonka Bar at the beginning

Ah perfect! An actual edible cup that’s not made out of wax! I’m not joking btw. The cup in the film was actually made of wax
