And because people watch Mythbusters and CSI, I thought, well, let's put in a recipe for a ballistics gelatin.

In either case, the product is reduced using hydrogen, yielding the metal as a powder or sponge that can be treated using powder metallurgy techniques.

Well, if you have a high speed camera, and you have a block of ballistics gelatin lying around, pretty soon somebody does this.

Textiloma is derived from textile (surgical sponges have historically been made of cloth), and is used in place of gossypiboma due to the increasing use of synthetic materials in place of cotton.

And in cheesecake and all kinds of desserts, like chocolate mousse, tiramisu, vanilla pudding, everything that's cooled in the supermarket, there's gelatin to make it look good.
