Deep Fat Fryer / Aquarium

"Because oil floats on water, despite the massive heat (163 degrees Celsius) the goldfish simply stay away from the surface and all is well. They eat the crumbs of croquettes and other fried foods that fall to the bottom, and can live in there for 5-10 years as they happily clean away, ignorant to the fact that certain death awaits any potential escapees."

What will they think of next?

**I in no way condone the keeping of your pets in deep fryers.**

[mee-mee]

poor poor poor fish :devil: :mad2: that is not nice at all:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :confused: :confused:

[Gotcha38]

As for how long the fish can live in there, I was lazy in my translation and made a mistake. I suppose they could live in there anywhere from ten years to 10 seconds, depending on how foolish they are..

[jm1212]

all that oil and grease is so nasty not to mention there is a fish living in it.

[Dangerdoll]

5 - 10 years when the life expectency is 20+

I haven't watched the youtube video yet, since I'm at work.

[swany]

That is absolutely discusting.:sick:

[Jessu]

How did they get the fish in?

[Weezer]

Talk about high cholesterol....:spam: I wonder what the ammo---rites---rates are.....ummm..

[Gotcha38]

Still at work.

My main question is how they managed to mix hot oil and water so well. Freshly washed things put into hot oil typically don't go over too well. I can imagine dumping gallons of water in.

[Mgamer20o0]

thats crazy.

[snickle]

How does the water get o2?

[KingOfTheDeep]

crazy..

[chaibill]

ok i watched the video i think the water cools the oil tht it touches you could see the water sinking through the oil so it is not very hot i wander if it really saves alot of oil instead of just filtering it every night

[marshall unger]

Thats so cool

[bkw1982]

no point at all.....i wouldn't want to feed any fish fried food, or eat anything from tht deep fryer.

[Omega]

Thats so coolNo, actually it's not.

[kimmisc]

That is disgusting.

[clayt101]

How about a link to the video...never mind I saw it (edit)

[necigrad]

I'm pretty sure any benifit of filtration to save oil is wasted. From what I recall, water severly degrades oil. In fryers there's food particles that build up, true, but you need to change the oil because of the water in the food you fry. Being constantly in contact with water I'd be willing to bet any reduction in filtering would be lost by needing to replace the oil anyway.

they are gunna have obese goldfish..poor things

[loaches r cool]

**I in no way condone the keeping of your pets in deep fryers.**

Why not? I dont see a problem keeping fish in a deep fryer... :huh:

Seriously though... :eek: :thud: :rant2:

Somehow I highly doubt they plan on really keeping the fish alive for very long. They're probably just making you realize that its water they're in, not that fish are of any other significance in their project. Is there even a filter on it?

[tanhql]

omg, the waste from the fishy going into the water and into the oil and into the food ... wonder how the food taste like ...

[sheloudre]

Well there goes MY supper thoughts! YUCK!

Maybe the gf will eat whatever food is in there, but i agree, how do they get oxygen? Also, can you imagine trying to clean that OUT? UGH!

Yes, oil floats on water. But it also will sink eventually. And coat whatever is in that tank. GROSS! Poor fish!
Remember the Exxon Valdez? It coated the Alaska coastline for years to come. This wouldn't be any better. That tank would be useless for anything afterwards.

[jpappy789]

That's just dumb

[equus_peduus]

Hmmm... I saw that video a while ago...

I think he says that it's taken him 10 years to develop it, not how long the fish live... but I could be mistaken, my Japanese isn't quite that good.

I haven't figured out how the fish get oxygen, or how they clean out the wastes though. Probably have some kind of tap at the bottom for the poops, but dunno 'bout the oxygen...

Oil degrades because the bits that are in the oil keep cooking, and get burnt, causing the oil to go "old"... so the water is essentially filtering the oil by collecting the fried bits at the bottom so they don't stay in the oil, and allowing the oil to be used longer.

5 - 10 years when the life expectency is 20+

more like 50+

From what I understood, my Japanese isn't exceptional , even though I got a Japanese name. Well sort of.
Those patties are made at a fast food restaurant, kinda like our Mc Donalds. They were not meeting their estimates of gross profits from their breakfast menu. So this guy named Dai Yan rui came up with the idea of the "Golden Patties" aka Gold Fish Patties.

Apparently they are selling pretty well now. Now, why is it called "Golden Patties." Well it so happen that every once in a while a gold fish gets impatient for its food (if you have raised common gold fish before you'll know they are always hungry) so it goes up looking for food and gets trapped in the hot oil, it floats up to the surface. Depending on the time this happens if you are ordering yourself one of those patties, you get the patty along with the gold (fried) fish, free, that's their guarantee. Thus, they are called "Golden Patties."

I know, the Japanese, go figure...

[Temo]

FISH KILLER!!!!!!!
