Man's orbeez bathroom experiment goes horribly wrong

YouTube was created for the sole purpose of letting us watch other people make huge mistakes so that we don’t have to. Okay, it wasn’t really but it sure feels like it was.

French YouTuber Cyril Schreiner decided to have an experiment in his own bathroom using orbeez – silicone balls that expand in water. He filled his bathtub with the balls and without considering the ctrl + z aspect of it. So, Schreiner thought that the best way to get rid of the balls would be to let them go down the drain, so he pulled the plug.

This is when disaster struck – the balls began coming up through the blocked drains, flooding his toilet, his sink and ultimately the entire bathroom. He then attempted to vacuum up the balls which again, did not work and caused the vacuum cleaner to smoke and catch alight.

Cyril claimed his entire neighbourhood’s sewage system was blocked, saying he received a letter from the town hall saying police were searching for the perpetrator. The town’s Mayor, however, issued a statement saying that was fabricated information as there is no link between the sewage system of the neighbours.

Many are questioning the authenticity of the video, with one YouTube user saying: “Anyone with common sense would know you don’t flush this. He did the whole thing on purpose”.
