Hello, Neman. So the season continues with the return of everyone’s favorite corporation, kramerica industries. But would an oil bladder system actually prevent all the oil from spilling out all over the road in the event of a crash? Well, we sent our intrepid investigators out onto the scene to find the truth & here is what they were able to uncover about his harebrained scheme.

So long story short, no, it probably wouldn’t work. Scientists have found that rubber is not nearly strong enough to keep the oil contained in a sphere. In all likelihood, you would need something much more durable such as a 2-inch steel plate. You see, trucks are typically made of about 1 inch of steel so you would need something a bit stronger than that to keep the oil from spilling out. It also helps to have a (to use another seinfeld-ism) buffer zone between the hull & the container to keep the oil from spilling all over the road.

The ketchup/mustard idea, however, was quite brilliant & I believe they now have those in stores across the nation. If you’re interested, I think it’s known as mayochup. But that’s about all I had for you guys today so thank you so much for reading. Have a great week & I will see you back here next weekend for a brand new episode of Seinfeld Declassified. Until then, this is the x factor signing off.
