To understand this video, you might need a little background. Japanese company Lion released an incredible freezing bug spray called Varsan Hyosatsu Jet Spray earlier this year, allowing users to freeze-kill insects instead of using harmful chemicals. The pesticide-free, scentless, and mostly harmless (unless you freeze your hand) spray hits bugs and other pests with a minus 40 degree mist of canned frostbite, literally freezing them in their tracks.
If you're anything like me (or the video maker), your mind immediately moved past insects after hearing about what this product can do. This video shows what would happen to a flower and a banana after hit with this cold beam -- I won't spoil it, but I think you'll be impressed.
