Playing With Food Is Fun, So Here’s How to Shatter Fruit and Veggies Like They’re Shards of Glass

Dec. 21, 2016

Playing With Food Is Fun, So Here’s How to Shatter Fruit and Veggies Like They’re Shards of Glass

Prepare to embrace your inner geek. We teamed up with game show contestant extraordinaire Ken Jennings and Guinness to experiment with liquid nitrogen. Why? Well, because science is awesome, and GUINNESS STOUT just so happens to be brewed with nitrogen gas. In fact, nitrogen is what lends GUINNESS STOUT its famous velvety smooth “mouthfeel,” as the beer geeks call it.

In this episode of That’s Kool, watch as Ken shatters insta-frozen fruit and veggies into shards of “glass.” Spoiler alert: It’s pretty epic.
