Small tips to help you plug the thin straw through the potato

Experiments on straws and potatoes will show you that this life still has weird phenomena that, if not noticed, will not be known.

Life is very strange, and that strange thing may not be far away but comes from things and things around us. If you don't notice it, you'll never know it.

And today, let's come with the strangeness coming from the straw and . the potato. Do you think the tiny, thin straw can penetrate the potato?Note that the straw here is the usual kind of soft plastic, bought in the supermarket, not the big tube in the milk tea shop .

It is impossible to hear. Potato tubers are soft or hard, which is absolutely not something that can allow a fragile object like a straw to penetrate.

The truth is that just using a finger to cover one end of a straw, you can pierce the potato easily.

Why so?

If a straw is used to stab potatoes in normal conditions, the air inside the tube will simply be pushed out in the opposite direction. As for the material that made the straw, it was plastic, so it was definitely impossible to penetrate the hard potato-like surface and bend it down.

But if you use your finger to seal one end of the nozzle, the air will no longer be able to escape. The air will compress, allowing the straw to have enough stiffness to not bend, continue through the potato.

The air will compress, allowing the straw to have enough stiffness to not bend, continue through the potato.

But of course it is with potatoes. If a harder surface is encountered, such as a brick, the air will be forced to escape by breaking the plastic of the straw.
