A giant pop rock, and Reggie survived it
NileRed's second channel posted nothing new, and a 130-day-old candy experiment has passed ten million views.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
Eating the world's biggest pop rock
No new uploads. NileBlue, the side channel that its about line says explores science "through sheer incompetence," took the week off, and its older experiments kept the lights on.
The busiest of them is four months old: oversized pop rocks, cooked from scratch as a follow-up to an earlier batch of the regular kind. The description calls the result "kind of dangerous" and admits some surprise that Reggie came through the biggest one fine. Behind it sits a salt video born from viewer comments, in which Florida ocean water went through the channel's spray drier to see what powder came out the other end. Third is a job that sounds like a chore and apparently was: flattening a hundred cans of Red Bull, a step, the description says, toward making the world's most powerful version of the drink.
Subscribers held level. Among science and experiment channels of a similar size, NileBlue sits second by subscribers, just behind Steve Mould, who is running well above his usual pace, while Hank Green is having an even bigger week, close to double his normal.
