Fatty Tube

Test tubes are given out to the public around the city.

The tube contains yellowish liquid substance which imply fat/oil. When the tube is shake, the substance colour changes, from yellow to red. When shake again, it changes to green. Continue shaking it will maintains the colour of green. If the tube is left still, it goes back to the original colour.

This is called the"Blue Bottle/Trafic Light Chemistry Demonstration". The sustance is a mixture of few different chemicals.

PRESS RELEASE

Science work wonders.

Just like a demonstration adopted by the recent health awareness campaign by the Federal Government Department of Health and Ageing. The public are given small test tubes which contain what it seems like oil. If the amount of chemical mixture is adequate, the liquid can change its colour by shaking it!

When the tube is shaken, it changes the liquid colour from yellow to red. Further shaking it will turn it to green. If the tube is left still, it goes back to the original yellow colour. You can repeat the cycle as often. This literally tells people it's burning (red) the oil (yellow), till you are healthy (green). What a simplest way to encourage people to exercise, and continue to do so.

To some extent, the tube became some sort of a game. Some people bring the tube along where ever they go. Forcing themselves to walk faster, and more vigorously, so that it will turn green. Some women are planning to use it as jewellery and accessories; as necklace pendant or earrings. Some extreme guys had already stuck these tubes in their car, and became some sort of a g-force sensor.

The tube really motivate and remind people about the advantage of exercising. Thumbs up to the Federal Government Department of Health and Ageing!
