I object to this use of real chocolate embryos for scientific experimentation. It's unethical and the chocolate should be instead delivered to me where I will give it a loving home in my belly.
Just call me "geck" because "zilla" is like a last name.

I'm all for this experimentation! (But then, I find Cadbury creme eggs disgusting, and way too sweet, too.)

The third and fourth videos were particularly interesting; I can easily see kids being captured by the third one. Good kitchen science!

Ah liquid nitrogen, is there anything it can't do?

I agree that a Cadbury egg is a terrible thing to waste, but this is for science man!

The most interesting was the 6D egg, but the most fun to watch was of course the chemistry video.



As for the MRI: I'd much rather it be a Cadbury egg than my poor injured leg.





Rhymes aside, MRI scans are no fun!

It probably could be utilized to warm you up if you were at 0Kelvin

Yes, if you happened to be liquid helium, liquid nitrogen would be down right toasty!
