I saw this on FB this weekend and wanted to try. So, C and I just did!

It doesn't spread as fast for us as it did in the video.

cereal K did you use whole milk? I read that it's the fat in the milk that interacts with the dish soap to create the reaction, so if you used 2% or skim it would have been a slower reaction. Great pictures!

I love this!

we had 2% on hand and the reaction was much slower than the video showed. i also only used a drop of soap, so i wonder if it would have gone faster with more soap. we ended up doing it three times, varying how much milk was in the plate each time. 

it was really fun! now i wanna try it with the heavy cream in the fridge!

okay - so we just did it with the heavy cream. the reaction wasn't faster, but the colors spread WAY less. SO MUCH FUN!

H just asked if he needed to go to the store to buy more/different milk. he loves me.
