Why do ORANGES make balloons POP?!
Emily Calandrelli knows what's coming, but the balloon's instant pop makes her jump anyway. In "Why do ORANGES make balloons POP?!", a squeeze of orange peel is enough to turn a familiar kitchen scrap into the experiment's most effective prop.
The explanation is in the peel: limonene, which gives oranges their citrus smell, dissolves rubber. Calandrelli tries lemon and lime peels too, then lines up balloons for a succession of pops. The Netflix science host keeps the ingredients simple and the chemistry close to the action.
That demonstration is the most watched of her five new uploads, with about 4,000 views. A shorter orange experiment and "Honeycomb! 🍯" bring food science into the mix, while two longer collections offer preschool experiments and an hour of bubbly science. The newer "1 Hour of Fun Bubbly Science Experiments" is currently drawing the largest daily audience among her active videos, followed by the older "Candy Science Experiment!", which explores candy color splitting.
Across the channel, the week brought roughly 176,000 views. Subscribers held steady, although daily views are now running comfortably above their usual pace. Among nearby science channels, Made Vision had a particularly substantial week and Art of the Problem also drew a larger weekly audience; Calandrelli's total sat above those of Bizarre Beasts and Your Dinosaurs Are Wrong. Her own week's experiments ranged from a peel squeezed in seconds to a collection built for a much longer science session.
