54 分钟Hello, and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish,
a weekly podcast coming to you from the QI offices in Hoburn.
My name is Dan Schreiber, I'm sitting here with Andrew Hunter Murray, James Harkin, and Anna Tyshensky,
and once again we have gathered round the microphones with our four favorite facts from the last seven days,
and in no particular order, here we go, starting with fact number one, and that is James.
OK, my fact this week is that sodium citrate, the chemical you add to cheese to make it melty nacho cheese,
contains sodium, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, or according to the chemical symbols, N, A, C, H, and O.
Unbelievable.
And this is proof of living in a matrix, right?
Yes, very unimaginative matrix.
So I was watching a YouTube clip by a person called Minit Food,
and they showed an experiment of how to make American cheese from any kind of cheese.
So you could just take any kind of cheese and add sodium citrate,
and it will make it more melty, and in that, that's when they can set this fact.
Although I've looked since logs and it is kind of all over the internet, but...
Right, OK.
It's not late, some people won that.
It's not enough over it.
I think that we're doing the world of favour by hopefully putting it more on the internet, because it is amazing.
Yeah, this podcast is about what I learned this week, and this is a thing that I recently learned.
