Stefan Psarakos asked the Naked Scientists:
Hi Dr. Chris,
I used a plastic McDonald's straw to impale a raw potato by holding my thumb or finger over the top of the straw. My depth of penetration results are as follow:
Attempt 1: 4 cm
Attempt 2: 5.4 cm
Attempt 3: 5.9 cm
Attempt 4: 6 cm
Attempt 5: 6.5 cm
Straws are quite cumbersome.
Kindest regards and thanks to the TNS team for the great work!
Stefan
