As soon as I saw the viral Tiktok by @froginahatgirl, I knew I had to make a video on it! By total coincidence, I ended up ordering two different croissant lamps. This made comparing the two much easier and also how obvious it was that one lamp was a real croissant dunked in resin. I decided to go further and test the lamp for bacteria and mould. The results were quite impressive as it didn't have any traces of either. However this isn't that surprising as mould only tends to form on bread products with a high water content. Croissants are dry so they tend to go stale instead of going mouldy. Resin is also a powerful preservative so that probably prevented many areas of the bread from growing bacteria before it dried up.

"Is The Temu Croissant Lamp Safe To Eat?" counter question; why would you want to eat a lamp you bought off of Temu

[@apathybronson]

That part. I mean, why would you want to eat *any* lamp. Wherever it's from, it'll contain electronics. Pretty sure those aren't ever edible.

[@DoggieInThePound]

Why would you want to eat a lamp lol😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@yangire44]

😭😭

[@radio3248]

It is obviously not edible idk where it was made but it's old, covered in some resin and it has some light inside so. I'm gonna watch the video anyways

[@Roeseii]

Literally clicked just to say the videos clickbait 😭😭theres NO way anyone thinks eating a lamp is a good thing to do. but also. people are stupid (also hi fellow person stuck at home, i see you)

[@bitnotgoodyeah]

i think eating resin contaminated croissant is probably the bigger risk factor here lol

[@LysolMyFace]

When it was mentioned that this was a knock off of a luxury lamp I thought the luxury one was going to be some hyper realistic artist. But no, its still bread. I assume and hope the expensive one is properly resin infused, but I wouldn’t ever risk buying something like this tbh.

[@strayiggytv]

It's a very dumb product. The idea that resin is the only thing you can do with old bread instead of, you know, composting it is absurd

[@offthesidelines]

Yeah the original artist doesn't quite use old stale bread; more like unsold leftovers from the day thus still decently fresh. She actually empties out all the breads and pastries that she buys before treating the "shells". The "fillings" are eaten and/or reused in her cooking/baking and not wasted - it's explained on her IG. Still not sure I'd trust a lamp like that to last for a long time though.

[@SmartyPoohBear]

This is an unhinged product. x.x

[@Aizawa_Shouta_]

Reminds me of something even and katlyn would do

[@EddwardTheSeventhSpaceWizard]

lol I was just thinking of their pumpkin experiments! Actually those videos are how I found their channel

[@wuquegy12]

Totally

[@Dusriken]

I CANNOT wait until they upload a video too 😂 you already know they're actively working on it

[@JOIESIMRONGYUEMoe]

I don't understand why they would do that tho

[@rawkingkong]

Probobly a lot of left overs everyday and they need to make money somehow.

[@Zulf85]

I do wonder about the longevity of such an item, honestly

[@maqaroon]

I actually think food items can be preserved in resin almost indefinitely. There were people in the comments saying their grandparents made resin bread DIYs decades ago and they're still fine

[@strayiggytv]

​@@maqaroon they have to be hardcore dried first and mice will still chew them up if they get near them. Organic material will always change slowly when encased in resin because it is still a poris material even if only microscopically.

[@E5va]

@@maqaroon idk, videos by evan and katelyn have taught me that every food item in resin eventually goes terribly bad. but what do i know hahah

[@flothedutchie1622]

​@@E5va that usually happens when there's fluid left in them

[@E5va]

@@flothedutchie1622 yeah but i doubt the perfect dehydration can happen during manufacturing for selling on temu

[@strayiggytv]

People have this bizarre idea that resin will preserve food indefinitely and it will not PERIOD. The only way you can even get it to mostly preserve it is to throughly dry the item first snd even then it will still slowly change overtime. Its just a waste of food and resin. Food can be composted and the idea we need to do this to "save food that would otherwise be wasted" is absurd.

[@Alaylaria]

Honestly I’d be worried about other industrial contaminants. Also, I wonder if they put a base layer of resin down on top of the croissant to strengthen it, then hollowed out the inside?

[@maqaroon]

Good point!! That makes a lot more sense as the top layer is almost paper thin.

[@casqettes]

I know temu isn't known for its quality / thought put into products, but the ones made of real croissants being pulled now makes it seem like they never thought anyone would find out that there's real bread in there. Let alone that some person on the internet wouldn't try to eat some of their mass-produced lamp.

[@maqaroon]

I think they really weren't expecting someone to crack their lamp open and eat it. It was hilarious how quickly all the listings disappeared after the video went viral (would have loved to be a fly on the wall in the factory when that happened)

[@DIOsNotDead]

don't ever buy no croissant from Temu bro 😭

[@catvoncat]

a hundred dollars for a pastry dumped into resin wtf

[@eurydicedrace931]

This reminds me of a very old controversy in a niche fashion community, where someone was making headdresses with VERY realistic cookies. One day, someone who'd bought one accidentally broke theirs, and crumbs came out. It turns out the artist was, indeed, preserving real cookies in resin. They had to delete their whole etsy store after that came out. The more things change, the more they stay the same!

[@maqaroon]

I think I remember that story!!! When I first started KZbin, loads of people were obsessed with resin tutorials and there was a trend of covering real food to see how long you can preserve it. This went against the ethos of the deco-den community which was how to create the most realistic food items possible using clay, silicone and non-edible materials. I was obviously in the second camp and I recall the drama between deco den crafters vs resin artists 😂

[@mmecharlotte]

It would've been so much easier and economical if they just molded real cookies and used those molds for clay or resin. I've done that plenty of times with my personal decodan stuff. In fact I sometimes go to stores with the sole intention of molding cookies with unique shapes or designs. 😂 Unbelievable how wild some people are.

[@ThizIzTheShiz]

*Common sense left the chat.*

[@InazumaDash]

People are kinda crazy. If the bread is dry or about to go bad, before it molds, just give it to birds. It's junk food for birds, but, it's still food and birds don't mind if it's dry. lol It's absolutely nuts that something like this is able to be sold as a lamp no matter the price tag. Maybe it wont mold, but I dunno the thought of having basically mummified food as decoration is still weird. If I were to do it, I'd make a 3D scan of real bread, 3D print it and paint it. It should look realistic enough with the right shading.

[@mmecharlotte]

Yup! Like deco-dan! They still look like real sweets, but without the unpleasant side of them eventually breaking down into a stale, moldy, gooey mess.

[@rohsek7298]

There's no way chemicals and germs wouldn’t have leeched into that bread, and why would you want to buy one of these, let alone eat it? I feel old. I don't understand why the latest trendy things are trendy.

[@ROYALRAT123]

Pls stop buying from temu🙏 Ik some people are gonna say well they're just as bad as (insert brands here) but you don't *need* to buy from temu either, buy from thrift shops, do DIY's and if you do need something just buy from a local department store in your own country. Some things are unavoidable and that's fine but it's about reducing harm not being an extremist. Temu just isn't good for anyone

[@rokurosecake]

It's also so horrible quality that I feel like you could also just throw your money out of the window 😭

[@ROYALRAT123]

@@rokurosecake I agree, years ago I bought from the wish app and the prices really drew me in at first but came to realize how bad the quality was and ended up throwing everything way within a year or two maximum, it just wasn't worth it in the long run

[@FreddyKruegerTheDreamDemon]

It is both ironic and hypocritical that she's buying from Temu considering how often she talks about the importance of the environment and such

[@rohsek7298]

I always say this, but it really seems like she won't budge and will keep buying this crap and hurting the borderline-slaves who make it..

[@sopwithhannah2401]

The original lamp was from Temu that’s why she bought it from Temu

[@Superfreaky2]

1:02 Sorry but this is false. She doesn’t use bread that would be otherwise thrown away, she uses freshly baked bread. This is from the Yukiko Morita websites q&a section; ‘Q How are Pampshades made? A Each Pampshade begins by baking the bread to exact specifications. We then carefully cut through the crust and hollow out the inside. Once satisfied with the crust's translucency, we coat the bread with a special protective finish, assemble it, and attach the electronic components.’

[@maqaroon]

Ah thanks for the correction! It's weird because I was convinced I read an article someplace that it was an art piece about preserving bread so they use older bakery goods. Personally that would have been somewhat better for PR as many cultures have issues about wilfully destroying fresh food 😬

[@bibule]

Me a French: 👁️👄👁️

[@vheart_png]

It's still crazy to me that they were using a real croissant 😂 I'm a little impressed if not mortified

[@imhilarious01]

would eat no matter what

[@maqaroon]

forbidden midnight munchies

[@h4y13y6]

when i saw the title i was very confused 😂

[@Donteatacowman]

I'm now wondering if you could give the cheap lamp a glow-up (with paint or pastels plus a top coat) so that people are not relying on bread as their lighting source

[@paromeilart]

You can't hide from me macaroon... >:]

[@BlackDawnYaoiLover]

I'd probably have covered the outside and then cored the inside after the outside was thick enough, that way you don't have to worry about it sagging or breaking and coring it will be easier

[@AbeM.]

I think using old stale bread, and even drying it further, is key for this process.

[@MarcWestov]

O.O WHAT!!! I hadn't heard of this lamp for sale covered in resin! WHAT!!

[@projektleiterin]

Maybe doing the outside first makes cutting the croissant easier and the doing the inside as a second step of the resin process.

[@Roeseii]

Such a clickbait title. No. It's not safe. why would you WILLINGLY eat a lamp?

[@maqaroon]

Well the twist is that it's technically safe. There's nothing inside that would make you sick from a scientific standpoint however why anyone would do it is open to questioning

[@nowandaround312]

@@maqaroon You're making a dangerous claim. There's no way it's safe to eat. You haven't tested for containments from the manufacturing process. The crumbs are also likely contaminated with resin and even if dried resin isn't toxic that _does not_ make it edible. Plastic is never safe to eat. Also, your agar plate from your phone should have had more growth. The fact that it didn't means the results from the lamp can't be trusted.

$100 for a bread covered with resin. Got people stupid enough to buy such ridiculous product ever?

[@oldbluewitch3386]

What a dumb product. The bread still gets thrown away because it's literally not able to last even in resin. But instead of rotting or being bug food it's covered in hard chemicals and has a solid chunk of plastic in it. Boo.

[@yukiyuukichan5771]

I am pretty sure they dumped the whole Croissant into Resin and hollowed it out afterwards 🤔

[@E5va]

for the longest time, i was convinced this video was some kind of satire (even though i know its not what this channel usually does). i was desperately hoping this was satire. i was.. praying this was a satire... but i guess this was a real thing that happened. i am still perplexed.

[@maqaroon]

I also genuinely considered the fact that the Tiktok might have been a hoax! It was almost too hilarious and unhinged to be real. I thought maybe someone covered a croissant with resin and pretended it was from Temu. However I couldn't believe it when I opened the box because it literally looked like a real croissant encased in resin. You can't even see any paint or brushmarks, and it would have be been near impossible to get that level of detail on a plastic object.

[@ProducerDoug]

Will the crossaint lamp go bad ?

[@maqaroon]

The girl from Tiktok actually had the lamp for an entire year (!) before the ants found a way inside. So if it could have gotten mouldy or bad, it would have happened a long time ago. She also lives in Australia which I assume gets pretty hot in summer. I think these lamps will actually stay preserved forever without decomposing!
