When I was a kid (during the 80’s) I bought a “square egg maker” at a garage sale. It was a plexiglass cube with cranks that could be used to reduce the size of the cube after placing a hard-boiled egg in it. After some time passed (hours? maybe a day?) the egg could be removed from the cube and the egg would be compressed into a cube shape. Even the yolk inside the egg would be cube shaped.
Thats so pointless I love it!
Ngl, you had me during first half. _And then I saw the square yolk part._
@@kayime6580 It's real
@@Tochy1 Yep, and if you hatch it, a cubic Minecraft chick would come out.
I always thought that square egg maker was a gag gift. Was surprised to find that it actually works.
And that my friends is how you fit a round egg in a square hole.
You're a square hole.
Zali Becquerel I know you are but what am I?

This is why egg-coloring kits come with a dye tablet you dissolve in vinegar then soak the egg in the vinegar solution for a minute or two. The vinegar softens the hard shell enough for the dye to penetrate and stick. Without it, the dye won't stick. FYI you can use regular food coloring and vinegar, and you can make the wire thingies you use to move the eggs in and out of the vinegar out of large paper clips.
This show represents the golden age of Australian educational broadcasting. I wish we had Deane and Rob on TV today.
they're forever on KZhead for the whole world, kids don't need a TV anymore
Yep
The idea of an egg being stored in a bottle doesn't seem to odd, but an egg being stored in a square box seems cursed in my mind
You can get it out of a box
Whats you're thoughts on square watermelons?
Quite the contrary my fellow proud citizen of the universe. There isn't much value to store an egg in a bottle (besides, how do you want to get it out as soon as its in there?) the square box on the other hand is stackable and saves more space than an egg carton.
@@dannydaghavarian9185 good.
Cursed? My quite the amalgimagination
I can't believe I found this episode after two decades! I really miss the days I would sit eagerly waiting to watch the curiosity show!
I remember doing this experiment with my brother & sister after seeing this episode. Mum was furious that we'd wasted so many of her "good eggs".
mom sounds cheap
That's her fault for keeping the bad eggs a secret. I'm sure you would have used those instead.
Atleast 3 of her "good eggs" turned out well.
I just read this in an Australian accent.

"Hey Mary, what's your claim to fame?" Why, I was Egg Carton Girl on Curiosity Show back in 1986 and again in 2021.
nice info, THANKS DEANE! awesome ending with the energetic egg packing music!
I love the heavy action music 5 second egg factory montage at the end. Really tied the whole lesson together.
I very much enjoy this kind of stuff. So glad that I found your channel! This relates to my other interest, magic.
Why this was an eggcellent show.
Shut up

EGGH, EGGH, EGGH, EGGH EGGH! XDXDXD
A very cool video with some interesting, easy to reproduce results. Thanks for sharing with us a lovely simple experiment that is safe for all ages. :-)
When he asked "can you think of a way to make square eggs" I immediately thought "force chickens into small boxes".
Me too
I love how he says “carbon dioxide” like it was just discovered
Not because it was just discovered, but because it was before the internet.
This was before Carbon Dioxide was going to destroy the world, back when climatologists (like 'father of Climatology' Reid Bryson) claimed the Earth was still cooling and an ice-age was going to kill billions from starvation by the 2000s.
@@KL-tn1xc Then how has this been uploaded on to youtube, huh? ExPlAiN tHaT
@@jeremiahjohns5258 I refuse to explain that
Have fun taking the egg out the jar now...
I bet Senku has been watching these when he was younger. I really love these science shows. It prepares us for an unknown future.
Toy channels need to pay attention.
I love how this is always suggested after a new Curiosity Show video where Deane is the host. That said, I tried this and forgot it for 2 days. The egg grew and the white of the egg turned to vinegar.
loving the egg montage at the end
These are the television programs which inspired the scientists of today. This show, Mr. Wizard here in America, and many others made science fun and entertaining. I’m very happy to see them live on in KZhead for our children to enjoy and learn from.
Don't forget Bill Nye the Science Guy. And Mythbusters.

Love how the eggs got its own music montage at the end 😂
"The Ooh Ahh bird is so named because it lays square shaped eggs." Classic line from '70s Brit sitcom The Good Life where Margo reads out Tom's homemade Christmas cracker joke.
So glad I got recommended this show. Would’ve love this as a kid.
Good thing I didn't learn this when I was a kid. Those water balloon fights would have gotten more interesting. 😁
Used to do this all the time as a kid, love seeing this video
This was my favourite after school show back in the 70's
Wish you would have explained exactly what was going on to shell. Like is the shell completely gone and that's just an interior lining that's made of a similar material as reptile eggs? Or did you chemically change the calcium of the shell and that made it soft. Guess I'll have to give it a goog and find out
The shell dissolves, but underneath it is a tough membrane - fresh eggs are best - Rob

Omg the CURIOSITY SHOW I used to watch this after school back in the 80s lols I feel a little old, but I have to say this brings back memories wow 🤩
I never saw this show. Yet it still made me feel nostalgia for the tv I watched as a kid.
watching this high is a trip
:)
Kids, make sure to spill some vinegar on mum's marble bench top and watch her reaction!
For their next trick, how to get the rubberized egg, out of the bottle :)
eggxactly... thats just impractical... even the box was unpractical...
Fluoride acid would dissolve the bottle.
Thank you! You are awesome
I saw this trick on a book when I was a kid. The book mentioned that the egg would have bounced, but it didn't mention to do it from a low height. So I let the egg soak in vinegar overnight (horrible, horrible smell) and the next day, lo and behold! the egg is in fact rubbery. Confident, I pick it up and throw it on the floor, only to see it break and make a mess. Moral of the story: don't always trust what you find in books.
Have a look at kzhead.info/sun/arFqgdekcIeJdIU/bejne.html -Rob
@@CuriosityShow seeing the egg with its translucent membrane in your linked video was pretty cool. I might have to try this to see it up close. It would also be interesting to test the elastic limit with many rubbery eggs sandwiched between two tables as if it were a sandwich and two of my childhood TV presenters, a cameraman to garnish the sandwich like your balloon experiment!
I've seen rubberized eggs before.. they normally have a wire running from it to a controller.
😄😆😅
Hmmmmm... 🤔
Those acid washed jeans sure bring back memories. My goodness, I miss the 1980’s.
I used to love this show as a kid
What were the odds on him actually having 1000s of those boxes, and 100s of those jars?🤔
Cliff Stoll has 1000s of Klein bottles under his house, so maybe? kzhead.info/sun/YM9snbqmiZ6Hf40/bejne.html
Are you suggesting he's a liar?
*YOU DON'T KNOW ME!!!*
Pretty high actually.
Actually a pretty smart idea
Gotta love that 80's "education-video" riff at the end 😄
It’s easier to just warp the local space around the egg by transforming it from Cartesian to inverted polar coordinates. That way you get cube like eggs. Not perfect but it works well enough. The only thing you have to be careful of is switching back to regular space when cooking them or a singularity might form.
Can we talk about that absolute banger of a theme song?
Liked the egg montage at the end.
I came here looking for my fellow egg-montage fan. I could go for about 45 seconds of that song with that footage.
I loved this show as a kid
Very cool, I’ll try it!
"And thus, you have captured the egg within a glass void from which there is no escape".
How 80's is this? Everything was square in the 80s!
This just blew my mind!!! 🤯🤯🤯
“Hey I’d like a box of eggs” “There you go, a box-shaped box of egg”
5:00 “it might have a slight vinegary flavor, but that might even improve the taste” This sums up how the British tastes British food.
Well I bet it’s pretty hard to get the egg out of the jar, lol, love this series!
I came here to see an egg cooked into a perfect square on a frying pan. I left with so much more.
Nice job! Next episode: taking the egg out of the jar
It's chic to be square! 😬
That was pretty cool.
This shows beginning to make me curious
5:04 is the most hype egg factory production I've ever seen
deadpan humor level 1000
An oldie but a goodie😉
Having an absolute dig at Julius Sumner Miller
This reminds me a little bit of that legendary Donald Duck comic "Lost In The Andes", by Carl Barks, where Donald and the nephews find square eggs that are made by square chickens.
I'm not sure your new business proposal of square eggs will take off.
remind me a magasine for kid some years later who offers some interesting toy with it , and once they game a box for make egg square (related to the main story in the issue of magasine) if im remember correctly in was a Picsou Magasine , around 1997 maybe
Thanks! I can use this to fit all of my square eggs into circular holes now
Me : I’m gonna go to sleep early tonight! Also me at 2:00 A.M. : Watching this
5:04 - Starts the Top Gun left over soundtrack.
I wonder if it's healthier to eat the eggs whole like that, once cooked. I'm wondering if the membrane under the shell has a higher concentration of nutrients but since it stays attached to the shell when cracked normally, are we throwing away the best part? Like peeling vegetables?
Same
There is almost nothing of nutritional value in the membrane, it's largely just a bit of collagen. The shells however are ground up and sold as calcium supplements, as they are almost entirely calcium.
@@ev6558 Good to know, thanks!
The best way to think about it is by examining the purpose of the membrane for the growing chick. Of course when a chicken hatches it doesn't eat its shell. The nutrients it was getting while growing inside of the egg were in the yolk and not the shell. So for predating animals, the bulk of the nutrients are logically in the yolk too.
Thinking collagen
if ya got a square box you also need square chickens, *man starts playing minecraft*.
Australians! Answering questions nobody ever asked since 1972.
How do you get the egg out of the jar/box?
This would be a hell of a Dragon's Den pitch: "I'm asking for £50,000 for 20% of my company Egg in a Box"
can this method improve the conservation of the eggs?
Is it safe to it after boiling?
That is actually interesting
Eggstraordinary!! ✨
The Curiosity Show (1972-1990 ) hosted by Rob Morrison and Dean Hutton was an entertaining kids science show produced before Australia became an authoritarian regime . Good ole days down under .
I’m glad after taking the eggs out of the perfectly suitable egg container, I’ve got somewhere suitable to store my eggs
love the outro
Okay genius, I'd now like to see you try to get that rubber egg out of that jar without breaking the egg or the jar...
I guess put the jar with the egg inside in the fridge until its cold then hold it upside down and shake until the egg gets stuck in the neck. Then warm it up and the expanding air inside the jar should push it out.
Try it with nitric acid ! You won’t need to wait overnight 🤪
You won’t need to eat it then
Nah mate, fluoroantimonic acid all the way!
Tremendo soundtrack xd
I love this channel. It will always remind me of my childhood 👍🖐
Happy to hear that - Rob
We did this, with the match, when I was a kid, 45 years ago. We'd put ours in a bottle with a much smaller hole, though.
This show is so damn cool
the cartons fine... I've always liked it.
I’ve known this for years, but this really old video taught me something new! I thought the vinegar did something to the egg to make it bounce. But when he said you can still use it, I realized that it’s bouncy because the vinegar only melts the shell and not the albumin which lines the shell! I never realized the albumin was so tough.
Isn't the albumen just the egg white? There is a membrane around the inside of the shell but I don't know what it's called.
@@BogSulphur nope the albumen is the membrane that lines the egg and centers the yolk.
This video is wild for folks who’ve never seen an egg before.
So... how do you get it out? The jar one?
KZhead recommending a random video at 2am be like:
Now make a toaster that runs on fives.
Does anyone know what year this was made?
If anyone was to wear this Casio calculator watch (DBC-611E-1EF) it would be this guy. It is like they were made for him 4:25
And this was a eggcellent video.
The ending makes eggs so exciting.
you could say that it's 𝐞𝐠𝐠𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠
Very cool!
Actually if you wish to try this trick you'll first need to teach your 🐔 chicken the principals of geometry.
Yes now I can carry my boxes and jars of eggs to travel with wherever I need to go! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Qualification to work in the egg factory: Must be a slow mover😂
question is how do you get it out the jar with out breaking the jar ???
Good luck with getting the egg out of the jar :D
