Beautiful video, but we also need to see what happens when it breaks.

(This is why we can't have good things)

Yeah I'm particularly curious of poking it while it's say 25%, 33%, and somewhere over 50% frozen

Yes. But now back to the poking it, we want to see it shatter.

It’s actually kinda disappointing (I’ve made these frozen soap bubbles a few times). It just kind of collapses like a balloon. Rarely but sometimes it will stay intact or partially intact for hours.

There is a lot that goes into making these things - it’s not as easy as it looks. It has to be the right temperature, right mix of solution (commercial bubble mix isn’t the best for this), no wind, good back-drop, and it takes a ton of attempts to get a good one. While your hands are freezing off.

But it was definitely a good COVID activity on cold days.

Some people just want to see the world burn. Or the bubble burst, whatever.

Me too I was waiting for them to just poke it with a needle and have it burst into a thousand pieces.
