Making Chicken Transparent Using Dorito Dust

A food science write-up explains how treating chicken with dust from Doritos makes the flesh transparent, a technique that also draws on work with crickets, whose exoskeletons can similarly be made see-through. Readers are debating the chemistry behind the effect, whether it changes how meat looks on the shelf, and how much of it is a fun party trick versus something with practical uses in food processing and imaging.

Why now: It is a surprising, visually striking food-science trick that people find both amusing and genuinely interesting to understand.
