@Salamandra40k5 ай бұрын
I would guess that they originally shot the show in "widescreen," and then trimmed it down for 4:3 in post to send to any TV networks. Either way, both 4:3 and widescreen are not the same as today's modern 16:9 standard aspect ratios. To make "widescreen" width fit a 16:9, its got to cut the top and bottom out of the frame.

Reminds me of how in middle school, we had this really fun chemist come by to present every year. He’d do all sorts of things, like how one year he fired a small canon in the gym with a cork as the cannonball (and he chose me as a volunteer). But anyways, the relevance here is that every year he’d do exactly this, except he’d always do the same joke where he pulls out a pack of mentos before saying “nah, I’m not using that, these are good snacks on the road. We’re using dry ice instead”. The results were pretty similar to the results the Mythbusters found with salt. The gysers always went nearly to the ceiling of the gym!

The amount of CO2 is different in each soda. Some soda water types actually say, small, medium or large bubbles. It’s a factor of the amount of dissolved CO2 in each liquid. Diet Coke, is actually on the very large bubble size.
