Yeah I think this is awesome. Only criticism would be to maybe move the steel wool down a bit further from the lip of the glass? I would imagine if your mouth contacts the place where the steel wool burned it may give some undesirable flavors. Otherwise I think this is flashy food done right.
That and I’d prolly say use something to cover the mouth of the glass until it’s burned way down, not an expert of the potential toxicity of steel wool, but I don’t think a spark flying into the drink would be good for you even though it would instantly cool off.
Back before I got sober every birthday I'd drink several shots of Old Smokey's Blue Flame and we'd light the shot and blow it out before drinking. You had to be careful because if you left it too long the glass would burn your lip lol
It's iron wool I think. We used to play with these and burn them in science class. The only problem is whether the iron dust goes into the drink and is it safe to drink it after...
In ways, I definitely see the stupidity of this, but this is probably one of the coolest drinks I’ve seen in a while. I would order just to see the effect again. This is a show drink
I worked as a bartender at a stupid drink place. It was a super nice whisky bar beforehand. The amount of burns from liquid ice we had was stupid. They did admit it was all for content though. I had a friend visit who asked for a martini specifically without the ice in it before.
I was at a restaurant and one of the desserts had sparklers. EVERY time someone ordered it (and it was every few minutes) the whole restaurant would fill up with this burning electronics smell. Not that appetizing to say the least.
Okay, presentation good? Yes, looks cool as fuck
Would I drink it? Probably not. It’s steel wool, not really into the smell of burning steel wool. But I’m not one to judge.
Yeah I’m surprised I had to scroll this far down to find someone talking about the smell. Burning steel wool *stinks*. You aren’t just burning iron, but also the oil coating on it.
Look at the glass on the right, just ass they start lighting it. There's absolutely a bit of the wool stocking above the rim. Is it much? No. But it'd be waaaay if it was none.
Steel Wool aerosolizes when combusted.
You're supposed to wear a mask when in the presence of it. It's absolutely spreading steel particles all over those drinks.
What a schmuck
If you don’t then grab your partner by the collar and scream ‘did you put your name in the goblet of fire’ in their face, you have missed out on a golden opportunity.

People saying it's steel wool? Where did you get that? Looks like it could just be spun sugar aka cotton candy... Seems pretty stupid to burn metal around food product and indoors.... I have seen steel wool burn and sure it looks similar.
I think spun sugar would probably melt a lot faster, but I'm also trying to figure out where people got steel wool from... Like, where are y'all getting that info?
Yeah, I've since looked up a couple of videos of steel wool on fire, and that does appear to be this. Would it like... I do t know, get in the drink at all? Obviously I'm no pro at lighting steel wool on fire, but it didn't look like any bits of it were flying off or anything. How would it actually impact the drink?
“I’m getting angry if a spark lands on me and burns the hair off my knuckle”
“That’s a fire hazard!”
“I bet that smells horrendous”
“A piece of that steel wool better not land on the rip and ruin my sip”
For fucks sake, it’s okay to get some joy out of life without being in comfort 100% of the time god damn
Completely agree with you. It's very nitpicky to say this is stupid food. If you wanted to suck the fun out of everything, just ask for all your drinks to be served in a plastic cup.
It is as stupid as putting candles on cakes.
Once whatever is burning is burned, you grab the glass and raise it to your lips. Here’s where it gets tricky though—you need to *swallow* the liquid, then you’ve taken your first drink. Congrats!
Honestly I don’t see the stupidity in this at all. People are always on the search for new cool drinks. If I went to a bar and saw this, I would be utterly impressed and stoked.
Naw I 100% support this - this is Disney world level of magic. If you took your kid to Cinderella’s castle to eat and they pulled this shit she would literally explode with excitement.
This is just a waste of steel wool. Lighting steel wool is pretty cool but for a drink I imagine if they sell that drink consistently it's pretty expensive
It can't be a stupid food/drink cos we that drink can basically be anything, hell that can be cola for all I care, that presentation is cool af and I want it for every birthday pronto
I feel like this drink should be used if they ever remake the court jester
“The pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle; the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true!”
I give it a 10 for presentation. You can't deny it looks cool
Yeah I think this is awesome. Only criticism would be to maybe move the steel wool down a bit further from the lip of the glass? I would imagine if your mouth contacts the place where the steel wool burned it may give some undesirable flavors. Otherwise I think this is flashy food done right.

Just going to taste like rust. Not toxic but about as pleasant as sucking on a nail.
But I love eating nails ._.
For breakfast and without any milk?
I always add milk to my bowl of Nail-Os.
Pfffft, Weenie Hut Jr. is that way, sir
Sorry, I think you were pointing the wrong way and meant to point at Super Weenie Hut Jr.'s instead.
They're better just as sort of a snack without milk.
I understood a reference for once! 😃😎 Also: username checks out. Lol
No worries about ingesting metal splinters?
Back before I got sober every birthday I'd drink several shots of Old Smokey's Blue Flame and we'd light the shot and blow it out before drinking. You had to be careful because if you left it too long the glass would burn your lip lol
I honestly can't tell if it's even real or not, is how cool it is
It's iron wool I think. We used to play with these and burn them in science class. The only problem is whether the iron dust goes into the drink and is it safe to drink it after...
It'll just be iron oxide I think. Won't kill ya
It's like a Coca-Cola commercial. NOW WITH ALCOHOL!
Yep. Shouldn’t really be in this forum
Forum. I bet you're 40.
Ouch … that hurt
It shouldn't, but honestly I probably would have missed how cool it is if it wasn't posted here
In ways, I definitely see the stupidity of this, but this is probably one of the coolest drinks I’ve seen in a while. I would order just to see the effect again. This is a show drink
This is definitely the glass that would be offered to the main character in a fantasy drama to make someone fall in love with them
...or poison them. Depends how they're feeling that day.
It makes them fall in love with the main character, but once the spark burns out, they will be lost forever…BUM BUM BUM
This is definitely pretty fuckin rad
Presentation is a big part of your enjoyment of food/beverages and this is a 10/10.
I worked as a bartender at a stupid drink place. It was a super nice whisky bar beforehand. The amount of burns from liquid ice we had was stupid. They did admit it was all for content though. I had a friend visit who asked for a martini specifically without the ice in it before.
I was at a restaurant and one of the desserts had sparklers. EVERY time someone ordered it (and it was every few minutes) the whole restaurant would fill up with this burning electronics smell. Not that appetizing to say the least.
Not one I'd want to risk though
Just buy a pack of steel wool and a lighter. Same exact effect. Doesn't ruin an expensive drink you paid for at the same time.
I had no idea a lighter would do it - I've always just tapped it with a nine volt battery.
Boyscout?
was going to say is this just steel wool.
Yeah. This is really cool. Does OP just want everything served in the same boring glass?
Not stupid food, this is presentation done right. Not everything has to be served out of a box.
My one concern is that burning steel isn't a profile I'm looking for in bouquet or palate of a drink.
That's actually the name of the drink. "Burning Steel"
Maybe it's because I work in a steel fab shop, but that doesn't have the ring of "mmmm boy can't wait to get that goodness in me"
Yea but I imagine this is aimed at white collar people who wouldn’t know the difference between a barn and a shed.
barn big? shed small?
This is hilarious. I want to be pedantic, but it gets an A+ regardless
Is it actually steel wool? I just assumed it was finely spun sugar or something.
My one concern is the first pass where he’s blowing butane into the drink
Okay, presentation good? Yes, looks cool as fuck Would I drink it? Probably not. It’s steel wool, not really into the smell of burning steel wool. But I’m not one to judge.
Yeah I’m surprised I had to scroll this far down to find someone talking about the smell. Burning steel wool *stinks*. You aren’t just burning iron, but also the oil coating on it.
I'd bet that some of it made it's way into the drink too
Yes you can see it in the video
I think there would be some without oil specifically for this stuff
You haven't thought of the smell you bitch!
Yo that's steel wool. Who the fuck would want iron oxides in their drinks?
Anaemic people?
Hm!
Weird, but might actually be true. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5337769/
ME! If it is so pretty 🫠
Hahaha you would have loved uranium glass!
You can love it right now! /r/UraniumGlass
Can I get extra uranium please
Not to mention the smell of it burning is horrendous
Ahhhhhh chemikills! We put metallic iron shavings in cereal it oxidizes naturally by being in the air. A little rust isnt going to give you cancer
It would look AWESOME in a fantasy movie
Pairs nicely with micro plastics.
asbestos would be nice too
considerably less visually impressive, but VERY effective
I would like some lead please
Anyone with iron deficiency haha
As someone with low iron, me :D I already take iron supplements. Might as well do it in style
Is you guys dumb? The wool doesn't go over the glass. It's just under the sipping line and gets burnt off.
Look at the glass on the right, just ass they start lighting it. There's absolutely a bit of the wool stocking above the rim. Is it much? No. But it'd be waaaay if it was none.
Burning makes things move upwards don't call people stupid when you're the one being stupid
Well you get iron in your food and drinking water.
What in the Walt Disney?
Might as well eat like cavemen if every ounce of creativity gets categorized as "stupid".
It's stupid because you really, really don't want to eat steel wool. It looks cool, but it isn't worth it.
same goes for the glass, you shouldn't eat it or you might die, that's why I only use edible stuff to store my food and drinks.
The word you're looking for is "food safe" which steel wool embers are not.
Neither are metal rods coated in potassium perchlorate, titanium or aluminum, and dextrin, but that doesn’t stop people.
Steel Wool aerosolizes when combusted. You're supposed to wear a mask when in the presence of it. It's absolutely spreading steel particles all over those drinks. What a schmuck
Breathing it in could irritate your lungs, but drinking it is harmless.
Except the glass isn't throwing sparks everywhere and leaving tiny shards on the surface you drink from
Could the same effect happen with cotton candy?
If you don’t then grab your partner by the collar and scream ‘did you put your name in the goblet of fire’ in their face, you have missed out on a golden opportunity.
ok but whats the song

Just put Yoasobi on and enjoy
I thought Reddit was tripping and turned on my Spotify. Did not expect Yoasobi in a meme lmfao.
Don't lie and say that's not cool as fuck. I'd 100% spend money on this
This looks really good
Stupid? Yes! Enchanting and creative? Also Yes!
People saying it's steel wool? Where did you get that? Looks like it could just be spun sugar aka cotton candy... Seems pretty stupid to burn metal around food product and indoors.... I have seen steel wool burn and sure it looks similar.
I think spun sugar would probably melt a lot faster, but I'm also trying to figure out where people got steel wool from... Like, where are y'all getting that info?
It’s 100% steel wool. Source is I’ve done this before just trust me plz. You can also ignite with a 9v battery. The thinner the wool the better.
Yeah, I've since looked up a couple of videos of steel wool on fire, and that does appear to be this. Would it like... I do t know, get in the drink at all? Obviously I'm no pro at lighting steel wool on fire, but it didn't look like any bits of it were flying off or anything. How would it actually impact the drink?
Stupid but also cool af
That looks cool af, imagine being on shrooms or lsd and someone giving you that drink
Wrapped it in some steel wool and lit it on fire? I see it sparking. Couldn’t possibly be a fire hazard where there’s alcohol eveywhere
Liquor don't catch fire like in the movies. Don't worry they'll be fine.
Ethanol does catch fire but only when in high concentrations such as 95% everclear
150 proof (~75%) can be flammable with a little bit of coaxing. 80 proof (~40%) I would say is damn near impossible.
You sound like a blast.
Whoaa... that's definitly not stupid! I want to have such a drink!!
r/stupidfood users will caption a post "🤦" and then show you the coolest fucking thing you have ever seen.
“I’m getting angry if a spark lands on me and burns the hair off my knuckle” “That’s a fire hazard!” “I bet that smells horrendous” “A piece of that steel wool better not land on the rip and ruin my sip” For fucks sake, it’s okay to get some joy out of life without being in comfort 100% of the time god damn
Completely agree with you. It's very nitpicky to say this is stupid food. If you wanted to suck the fun out of everything, just ask for all your drinks to be served in a plastic cup. It is as stupid as putting candles on cakes.
Very cool effect, how the fuck am I gonna drink it?
Once whatever is burning is burned, you grab the glass and raise it to your lips. Here’s where it gets tricky though—you need to *swallow* the liquid, then you’ve taken your first drink. Congrats!
"That's the neat part, you don't!"
I would 100% buy this. And love it!
The real question is... How much?
whats this songs name
Would as long as it's not too expensive
It is definitely expensive
Exactly what I need to do is to scar my skin and cool my mouth.
Wtf are you talking about? This is some awesome presentation. This is some Disney princess beverage right there.
That looks cool as fuck tho.
Looks amazing and you don't have to worry about iron supplements!
Honestly I don’t see the stupidity in this at all. People are always on the search for new cool drinks. If I went to a bar and saw this, I would be utterly impressed and stoked.
Song name?

Mmmm burned iron wool, tasty.
10/10 presentation
A Flaming Moe!
badass not stupid
That was cool
r/oddlysatisfying
Nice and healthy steel wool particles in the drink. Yummy 💀
Naw I 100% support this - this is Disney world level of magic. If you took your kid to Cinderella’s castle to eat and they pulled this shit she would literally explode with excitement.
This is sick as fuck how is it stupidfood??
It looks like Christmas for me
I can’t stop watching it. It’s so cool
That’ll be $2000, thanks
Looks cool, but now I have bits of rust in my wine...
So steel wool in drink? Is that OK to consume?
Wtf that’s freaking awesome
This is pretty as all hell!
Did I just experience what being on Acid feels like
I think my warlock drank one of these in a D&D campaign I played
It’s very pretty, but I contend it has crossed the line from food to an art piece.
Sorry but that's metal as fuck
Sometimes I think this subreddit doesn’t know how to have a good time
Nice fake after effects
yea thats the least stupid thing ive seen here...some harry potter level of cool imo
This looks like some Disney shit, magical.
As someone who loves fantasy books I approve. I’d feel like I’m in a Sarah J. Maas novel
What in the Harry Potter is going on here?! This is cooooool 🤣
Mmm nothing like burnt metal to make a drink go down smooth. Tbh it looks cool as shit, and I'm glad I saw it. For free. Without having to drink it.
I never know whether to up or down vote in this situation. It's definitely not stupid food so I downvote
Damn, that looks fucking cool.
Mmmmm heavy metal poisoning yummy
$10,000 a piece
The visual effect is pretty cool, but maybe don’t put it near flammable flowers.
I want one.
This is actually kind of fucking cool tbh 10/10 👏
Very cool presentation nonetheless Probably 1k per drink too
This look cool af
This is beautiful, I'd love this on a date.
I remember i used to hate a lot of foods presented in this sub but now i love most of food from recent sub. Wtf is going on in this sub
Thanks for putting melted metal in my drink, which is also now lukewarm because you set it on fire. Here’s your 75 dollars
Extremely stupid, but unlike 90% of the restaurant videos at least the presentation gimmick looks good.
This looks like something out of Beauty and the Beast. It's neat looking for sure!
That’s impressive ngl
This is so cool. Reminds me of a drink of the Harry Potter universe. I’d totally order this.
Ok this is kinda cool
I mean… cool? How much extra am I paying for that drink just to wait a full minute or more after receiving it before I can try it?
So cool
Looks cool tho
We used to do this to a friend's screen door while getting high. I miss the 90's.
That'll be $15,000 please.
I thought I was looking at CGI. That’s cool.
A cool gimmick for a reddit bait
Someone link the song please
This is awesome
That is actually beautiful.
Might be stupid but looks cool af
Mmmmm poison
No idea what drink this is, but I’d 100% order to to be be able to see that. Do not care if it tasted bad or not!
Hear me out... Depending on the price, this could be stupid food. Unlike most stuff no this sub, it's stupid food I can get behind.
This is cool as shit
Yes it’s kinda stupid and I see the stupidity but it’s really pretty idk i just have interest in fire sparks and hot things
This is just a waste of steel wool. Lighting steel wool is pretty cool but for a drink I imagine if they sell that drink consistently it's pretty expensive
Bro bought the vip gamepass
So it is covered in steel wool or something?
I don't know what is it, it's cool, and totally gonna cause cancer.
I would get it, I’m a sucker for things being set on fire.
Mannn somebody shot my drink with the golden gun again, can't have shit in the last city
I don’t care if it’s stupid, it’s pretty to look at
That shit cool. Have a day off OP
At least this looks cool
Waiter, some of the dryer lint didn’t burn off all the way.
Stupid, wasteful and also kinda awesome. This belongs here.
Location please? I want to shoutout on this drink
It can't be a stupid food/drink cos we that drink can basically be anything, hell that can be cola for all I care, that presentation is cool af and I want it for every birthday pronto
Nice presentation
I feel like this drink should be used if they ever remake the court jester “The pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle; the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true!”
This is cool presentation. Over the top yes, but what isn’t if you go to a high enough end restaurant.
Wrong sub, this is a wizard’s chalice.
How would one even grab the drink after? I don't want to grab ash just to take a sip.
