In this video I make the incredibly dangerous potassium dichromate from just some regular forks using a ton of incredibly colorful chemical transformations while going insane from waiting for stuff to complete and cooking up some sick crystals.

I spent so much time and effort on this monster of a video that if you enjoyed it please consider liking it, sharing it with a friend, and subscribing to my channel - I would really appreciate that :)

Also, excuse me for my poor speaking, English is not my native language so I have some trouble with pronunciation, in case you don't understand something there are always subtitles made by me.
