Making the world's most extreme candy (it short-circuits my brain)

Hot candy or sour candy is not enough for NileBlue. His latest confection aims for sweet, sour, spicy, icy, bitter, salty and umami together, an edible chemistry project with deliberately too much going on.

That experiment arrives alongside a sharp jump in viewing: NileBlue has added about 3.2 million views in a day, more than six times his usual daily audience. "Making the world's most extreme candy (it short-circuits my brain)" has reached roughly 4.8 million views since its November release. That total covers more than one day, so it cannot explain the channel's daily gain on its own.

As we reported here, the candy pushes beyond the single-sensation approach of familiar extreme sweets. But it also fits a particularly food-focused run for the science channel: a mouth-numbing electric daisy, followed by chicken of the woods, a mushroom he tried despite disliking mushrooms.

The kitchen-laboratory crossover has a longer history here, too. "Making the World's Purest Cookie" and "Making American cheese to debunk a conspiracy" are among NileBlue's most-watched regular uploads. His extreme candy gives that collection another experiment built around something familiar to eat, then made decidedly less familiar.
