How Mylar Balloons are the KEY to Sauce Optimization
It may come as no surprise that condiment cups are NOT the optimal shape to maximize sauce holding capacity! So what is? Balloons! Mylar Balloons to be specific. In this video we REALLY math overkill with a little calculus to show just how much more sauce you can get in your precious condiment cup when using a mylar balloon shaped cup instead!

Math The World is dedicated to bringing real world math problems into the classroom and answering the age old question “when will I ever use this?”
We use unique topics for algebra, trigonometry, calculus, and much more and go beyond context problems and use a technique called mathematical modeling to find solutions to real world questions and real world problems. These videos are great for students who plan to enter technical fields that require real world problem solving, and can be a great resource for teachers looking for ways to bring real world contexts into their classroom.
