It's "Surface Tension" not "wet sugar-loaded candy stickiness" and it's "hydrophobic ends" not "this is the way I stuck them in and there is no room for them to rotate or anything so yeah."
1:52 is the first sign of trouble, when liquid sugar blobs peel off to start mayhem with the instruments. Also the 'space munch' at 2:30 absolutely makes this. Finally, one million stars for candy corn, perhaps science's (not nature's) most perfect food.
