Sorry for the late video! I'll update the description tomorrow and I think I'll also add a warning to the beginning to not try this.

Turning aspirin into mint flavor

at 4:11 the reaction formula between aspirin and methanol you showed seems like methanol is one of the catalyst. i don't know the standard annotation but should you but methanol in the reactant side instead of with the catalyst. (please correct me if i'm wrong)

edit: *but should you put methanol*

It's because methanol is also the solvent, so I added it above the arrows.

Also very funny, I was JUST watching Doug's Lab video on it.

Ah I remember doing this in school and the teacher got after me for tasting it. we where only supposed to smell it. but I knew of the harmful dose for everything involved and figured a little taste wouldn't hurt ;)

So are those nile red shirts available for purchase somewhere? I only see the key chains and beakers on your site?

Great video! (P.S. It's Lindy not Linda)

I totally forgot the link. they are on spreadshirt. I'm going to re-upload this video with a warning and some edits today. I'll also add the proper description with all the links.

Can't watch the video until next week, I'm currently in the middle of the Mediterannean on vacation and the download speed on this boat is 1kbps at best. Great video based on other comments here. :)

Come on man, just buffer it for a couple days! No big deal

Did you use chroma key for the YouTube video preview shot of you holding the syringe with the white background? Just curious. Quality and entertaining video as always

No problem! I had to add some things anyway, so I figured I might as well fix everything :)
