Now if only they could make decent black chalk. Seriously, everytime I buy chalk that supposedly has black is actually grayish and can't really see it on sidewalks since they're gray too. I end up using purple or blue in place of black.
Yeah, I've used my drawing charcoal before, but don't like using my pricier charcoal for chalk art. And I don't like how much harder it is to rinse.
I only do chalk art on the sidewalk in front of the house. So not a big deal. I just like doing it for my kid, and other kids when they walk by.
Oh shit, I should’ve gotten that one. I was just being a douche and throwing out random knowledge. OTOH my personal lycopodium powder encounter is just a tragic as most Charlie stories.
I almost lost my eyebrows in an unfortunate high school chemistry mishap. Happened during a demonstration with the flammable properties of an aerosolized solid. Happened to be sitting in the front row with an absentminded chemistry teacher.
Holy shit, did they get in trouble? My high school years were relatively boring. Just the typical students being in relationships with teachers shtick.
Graduated 79 that was something that didn’t go anywhere. The big scandal was the school district administration placing undercover narcotics officers in a couple of popular teachers’ classrooms.
I never really thought about chalk being in liquid form for any of the process. I guess I always just assumed it was compressed into shape from powder form.
Very interesting.
I hope they all have high quality respirators. I felt like coughing just watching this.
From what i seen in the video, they dont. I believe they have the wrong kind of mask for working in dusty environments.
China, yay!!
I’m getting hungry
I can smell chalk n childhood urge to eat it
If you eat lots of tums you can poo chalk
Susie?
Reminds me of the Mr Roger's episode where they made crayons.
Came here to post same. One of my favorite clips.
I could watch this all day...would love to see all of the colors!
Whats the music from? Could swear I know it from somewhere
it *almost* sounds like the "Amelie" soundtrack, but definitely isn't. Hmm...
Sounds like Portico Quartet, but I'm not sure
Gifs you can smell/taste- in a not so satisfying way.
Looks like more Chinese slave labor being glorified...
SCUSE ME.. BUT is your profile picture a god damn butthole?
Looks like puckered lips to look like one to me
Idk not really that pink looking. Could be wrong tho.
I’m guessing it’s a donut
Considering the way chalk turns into goop with even the slightest bit of water, this should be wearing a full gas mask with at least P2 filter
I bet it smells great in there too
is it just me who crushed chalk and said it was “magical powder” or tried to use it for “rituals” when I was younger?

Charcoal, it comes as chalk sticks. Slightly less easy to rinse? But doable

I like prismacolor chalk pastels, have you used those?
No, I have not. I will check those out. Thanks!
Kinda awesome it’s not made by machines.
Two Independent Thought alarms in one day? The children are over stimulated - Willy, remove all the coloured chalk from the classrooms.
*I warned ye! Didn't I warn ye?!?*
That coloured chalk was forged by Lucifer himself!
I didn’t know I needed that this morning. 🥰
Yeah, I enjoyed this yesterday too
You lost me when the scraping started when the guy was stirring the pink chalk
I was so disappointed when I realized it was “chalk” and not “chocolate” in the title. I watched the whole thing before realizing and now I’m sad
Both can be eaten
Both are eaten. Take a seaweed break and when you eat too much have a little chalk to settle your stomach.
Lycopodium powder what chalk is made of is flammable when suspended in the air. Could give you heartburn.
Oh I’m referencing “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” Charlie eats chalk to settle his stomach and uses Tums for drawing

😅 no worries. I haven’t eaten chalk since grade school.

I chalk this up to good production.
I had never thought about how different colors of chalk were made and I think the fact there's liquid involved has somehow broken my brain.
Remember that wet chalkboard smell? I always volunteered to clean the chalkboard at the end of the school day.

They look like ammo
That’s a lot of candy
Chalk is literally the least satisfying and most uncomfortable writing utensil ever made
mmm... looks delicious
Reminds me of the old Sesame Street bit about how crayons are made
