I think chocolate turns white because of fat separation its called blooming, its perfectly edible to eat it that way

[@EnraEnerato]

Correct, the cacao butter (fats of the cacao) have a lower melting point, almost roomtemp. and diffuse to the outside. White choclate can't really be called choclate, it's only that stuff and almost no cacao.

You are correct, sir!

[@peterbanderas8184]

Typically when chocolate starts turning white it's because the oil starts to separate from the chocolate. It can happen because the chocolate is getting old, the temperature of the chocolate has changed repeatedly or it can even happen naturally depending on the type and amount of Cocoa used.

[@ac9356]

When chocolate turns white it can b cuz of it going to hight temp then bk to low temp but it’s mostly course by oxidisation but it’s fine to eat

[@caementicium284]

Yeah, it's specifically referred to as the chocolate "blooming" when it happens. It is primarily the fat melting and re-crystallizing when it isn't kept in a stable temperature. Generally doesn't change the flavor.

The white stuff is just fats and oils in the chocolate. It’s called “blooming” when it rises to the surface like that. Probably from heat. Chocolate that’s been on the shelf for a while can do that also.

Because certain people of limited intellect think pest control is animal cruelty.

[@juliebaker6969]

The white on the chocolate is called "bloom". Essentially it is the cocoa butter leaching out of the chocolate and sitting on the surface. It is usually caused by unstable temperatures, though age can cause it too. A severe case can affect the texture of the chocolate, leaving it a bit dryer and kind of crumbly. But a light case only affects the appearance of the chocolate. Either way the taste and safety of the chocolate is unaffected by the bloom. Bloomed cocoa butter is different from rancid cocoa butter, though both can be caused by age or temperature fluctuations. If the bar tastes off, the cocoa butter may be rancid. That doesn't necessarily make it unsafe to eat, just unpleasant tasting. I hope that helps explain it.

Hi, when I was a kid about 60yrs ago ( Now I am 65 ) in Norway a neighbour a hole lot of chickens in his yard. Lots and lots of rats. he used exactly the same trap as the one you have here and I made one myself and caught the trap full at home due to that all of us had the food-leftovers in a wooden barrel that was picked up by a pig farmer once a week. Very effective trap. Now I will watch your video and see if it still works as good :)

[@olibedsole1968]

Kangaroo rats are so awesome! Loved learning about them in my bio class. They can go 3-5 years without water! They get their water from metabolic water (breaking down food) and their lifespan is only like 2-5 years so they can pretty much go their entire life without drinking water!

Could you further clarify? Wood that "dissolves in water?" Cardboard likely wouldn't dissolve before a mouse/rat drowns in water.

[@yellowdog762jb]

I'm guessing it means that if you do drown a rat in it, it'll be ruined for future use. That's probably a marketing ploy, i.e. a way to sell the trap on sites that won't allow lethal traps. Which is clever but silly. If you're bent on dispatching the catch, just release it into a container that suits your needs. Doesn't fool anyone except the KZbin and internet thought police.

The weird looking chocolate bars that turn white is something that might make you nervous to eat, but not to worry! It's called it is called "bloom" and it depends on the age of the chocolate because of what is happening to the candy. Apparently, when the cocoa butter (which is the fat found in the chocolate bars) separates from the chocolate leaving a visually looking white substance.

[@ShiningSakura]

the white on chocolate is bloom, when you heat chocolate up to pour it into the mold at the factory you have to keep the temperature just right when cooling or the structure of the chocolate will not form back correctly to chocolate as we know it. (imagine a wall line of legos put together then when heated up they disassemble the pieces in a container. Then depending on the temperature it will either go back correctly or it will reassemble differently into different structures than it started as making sugar bloom possible or will ball up weirdly and crumble for example) It is also visually similar how you can oversaturate sugar in water and heat it up so it is invisible, then even a grain of sugar added past the saturation point will cause it to suddenly crystalize. Cool science experiment for kids by the way. it doesn't add to the total sugar amount in the pot, but it makes it visible just like sugar bloom on chocolate. When the chocolate was shipped it must have heated up then cooled at an improper temperature and it led to the perfect condition for bloom to occur. It just looks weird and sometimes slightly affects the flavor some times, but its harmless.

[@m005kennedy]

I’ve read that most catch and release traps do actually kill the animal, but after you let them go. The stress of being captured, trying to escape and being unable to, and the relocation to unfamiliar setting stresses them so they die. Live traps may seem more human, but we are just kidding ourselves. This has been shown to happen even with very large animals like elk. In one case a large number were dart and relocated. They were all tagged and all found dead later in their new location. In your case they are being release back in a familiar area. Could you comment on your thoughts on this?

High quality peanut butter tends to be thicker and darker because it is made without additives, just 100% roasted peanuts. It might separate over time into peanut oil and peanut solids. Most common consumer brands of peanut butter in North America are made with additives to make them creamier, sweeter and lighter in color, and to prevent separation.
