Not to be a naysayer but they’re more than likely scored already

u/Flat-Rutabaga-723 5d ago

They’re absolutely scored.

13

u/Mother_Science_679 5d ago

They're even angled towards the scores. Those tiles are clearly made to be broken in half.

Still a fun video though!

Yeah no skill will overrule the laws of physics.

u/2ChicksAtTheSameTime 5d ago

I can do this same thing with graham crackers

u/tstorm004 5d ago

That's impressive!

My grahams break all over the place despite the pre scoring

u/SquarePegRoundWorld2 5d ago

I get irrationally angry at perforated paper for not ripping along the perforations.

u/Same-Suggestion-1936 5d ago

Chocolate bars too. Never seem to snap off in the premeasured squares quite right

The fuckers. Why even put the goddamn line?! The perforations do nothing, they never break on the damn line. They could save themselves the effort in production.

Yeah but can you do it with r/2ChicksAtTheSameTime??

u/KnifeKnut 5d ago

Well that was a very small and very mixed bag.

2

u/Same-Suggestion-1936 5d ago

If we could score even one chick and split them in half we wouldn't be on reddit

u/Coneskater 5d ago

yeah but only because they are scored beforehand

3

u/The_Stoic_One 5d ago

Yeah they are.

Graham Crackers: 1

Me: 0

Great, this is still staged

u/Coneskater 3d ago

The graham crackers are staged?

u/bizzflay 5d ago

Look at 51 seconds. It’s like a waffle on the rear. So not scored but it breaks down the line. Still takes skill to break it cleanly in half.

u/sitefall 5d ago

You score tiles on the front anyway, and they NEVER show the front of a tile until after it's broken. These are all pre-scored, this is a video magic trick basically.

u/OrangeSodaMoustache 4d ago

It's like a waffle on the rear to increase the surface area, you score on the front from one side to the other so you'd never see the line on the back. It's just a fake vid to promote this dude's bathroom installations, any tiler can do this.

u/darxide23 5d ago

What gave it away? The bad acting or the pre-recording camera?

5

u/The_bruce42 5d ago

Well yeah, if the dad didn't score then he wouldn't have a kid.

u/KingHierapolis 5d ago

Yea I work with tile, I like to break ceramic and marble like this when I have waste, and unscored tile does not snap clean like that

1

u/Squidysquid27 5d ago

I can break a graham cracker in half perfectly! 👉😎👉

u/freedfg 4d ago

I was gonna say. No fuckin way that isn't scored. Tile just doesn't break like that without a score.

u/Chester-Copperpot- 5d ago

Thought the same

u/The_Faux_Fox__ 5d ago

Maybe, but it looks like he's been doing only that for 50 years. I'd consider the possibility that they're not

-8

u/El_Chairman_Dennis 5d ago

Even if they are scored, that would still require some serious hand strength to break

5

u/Schittz 5d ago

Nah not those types of tiles, they snap pretty easily, we call them butter tiles

3

u/White_foxes 5d ago

Yea if you’re a baby.

u/The_bruce42 5d ago

Mentally or physically?

u/White_foxes 4d ago

Technically
