WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:04.920 It is just another day in Charleston, West  Virginia, and the worker is clocking in for   00:00:04.920 --> 00:00:09.360 his shift at the chemical factory. As he  slides his punch card, hearing the click   00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:15.800 that signifies the beginning and end of most  of his days, he lets out a sigh of resignation. 00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:20.960 This isn't really the life he had imagined  for himself as a boy. But it's a union job,   00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:26.880 and the pay isn't bad, so it's all worked out  okay in the end. He doesn't love the smell,   00:00:26.880 --> 00:00:31.560 but there are worse jobs out there.  It does get a bit monotonous though,   00:00:31.560 --> 00:00:36.680 the same old thing day in and day  out. Nothing ever changes around here. 00:00:36.680 --> 00:00:40.440 At least, nothing ever changed until now. 00:00:40.440 --> 00:00:45.240 As he walks to his usual station, the worker  stops and does a double take. There is a workplace   00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:51.000 safety poster pasted in the entryway, one that  he's seen every work day for the past five years.   00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:57.680 In all that time, the text never changed, but  today...it's different. The reminder to always   00:00:57.680 --> 00:01:02.440 wear safety goggles and gloves has vanished,  replaced with an illustration depicting a bowl   00:01:02.440 --> 00:01:09.200 of fruit. The text now reads: "The recommended  daily amount for vitamin C is 75 milligrams (mg)   00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:15.480 a day for women and 90 mg a day for men.  Make sure to eat your fruit! It's yummy too!" 00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:21.680 The worker pauses for a moment, squinting in  confusion. That's odd. Management has never given   00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:27.920 dietary advice before, seems strange to start  now. But maybe there's some new employee health   00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:34.200 initiative he doesn't know about. He shrugs and  continues inside. But as he enters the factory,   00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:39.560 he realizes right away that something  is wrong. No one is working. None of the   00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:45.560 machinery is operating. Everyone is just standing  around, speaking feverishly to one another. 00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:50.680 He taps one of the other workers on the shoulder,  asking what everyone is so upset about. The man   00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:55.400 explains that one of the machines stopped working,  so they tried to perform a repair, and when they   00:01:55.400 --> 00:02:01.480 opened it up… well, it'll be easier to just  show him. When the worker's eyes fall on the   00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:07.080 open machine, he can scarcely believe what he's  seeing. What was once a collection of metal parts,   00:02:07.080 --> 00:02:14.480 wheels and gears performing specialized functions,  is now cubes of swiss cheese and slices of tomato.   00:02:14.480 --> 00:02:19.360 What is this, some kind of joke?! No one at  the factory is willing to confess to playing   00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:24.600 the bizarre prank, one that will cost them all  a day's worth of pay if it isn't fixed soon. 00:02:24.600 --> 00:02:28.440 One worker runs to grab the manual for the  equipment, but when he brings it over to the   00:02:28.440 --> 00:02:34.120 crowd, they find that all of the diagrams  regarding the machinery are gone. Instead,   00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:39.400 the book is filled with nutritional information,  recommendations of achieving a balanced diet,   00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:45.480 and a collection of 20 simple and healthy  weeknight recipes. While that might be useful for   00:02:45.480 --> 00:02:51.080 someone trying to make a vegetable lasagna, it is  pretty much worthless for the situation at hand. 00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:55.960 The workers at this chemical factory don't know,  but the same phenomenon is afflicting factories   00:02:55.960 --> 00:03:02.240 all across town. Vital machinery is transforming  into food, and all words printed on-site are   00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:07.960 changing to encourage a healthy, balanced diet.  Assembly lines are halted for the day, and workers   00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:13.080 are sent home as the management of these various  factories attempts to uncover what appears to be   00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:20.200 some sort of grand food-based conspiracy.  No one can pinpoint just what is going on. 00:03:20.200 --> 00:03:25.240 No one, that is, except for a group of kids out  of school for the summer who just so happen to   00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:30.240 be walking along the bank of the Big Coal River  in search of something to occupy this beautiful   00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:35.960 day. While the factory workers are panicking  and scrambling for answers, this group of kids   00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:41.960 suddenly smells something delicious. The aroma  wafts along the water, coming from somewhere just   00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:48.160 around the riverbend. Curious, and with grumbling  stomachs, the kids follow the smell until they   00:03:48.160 --> 00:03:57.000 spot its source: a man, or something shaped a bit  like one, made entirely from macaroni and cheese. 00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:59.720 At first, the kids aren't quite  sure what to make of this figure.   00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:05.560 On one hand, they love mac and cheese. But  on the other hand, all of their parents have   00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:10.520 warned them about stranger danger before. No  one ever prepared them for the possibility of   00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:14.880 a stranger made from their favorite food.  They're about to give up and run away,   00:04:14.880 --> 00:04:18.720 writing the whole thing off as some  sort of strange lunchtime fairytale,   00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:25.680 when the mac and cheese man speaks. "Hi there  kids! Mac and cheese is pretty good, huh?" 00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:31.400 The kids don't answer, staring in wide-eyed  silence. He takes this silence as an invitation   00:04:31.400 --> 00:04:36.760 to keep talking. "But when we have mac and  cheese, it's important for us to make sure   00:04:36.760 --> 00:04:42.520 we eat our veggies too! Isn't that right,  Mr. Broccoli?" He turns and faces the water,   00:04:42.520 --> 00:04:47.000 staring expectantly. After a moment  of silence, something breaks through   00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:54.480 the surface of the water...something green. A  sea monster?! The kids scream, backing away. 00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:57.560 "Don't be afraid! It's good for you! Look!" 00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:00.960 As the figure emerges from the  water, the kids realize that   00:05:00.960 --> 00:05:06.400 it isn't a monster after all- it's a  figure made entirely out of broccoli! 00:05:06.400 --> 00:05:12.120 The broccoli man opens his mouth to speak, but  water pours out instead. He clears his throat,   00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:19.000 then tries again. "Hey there! Don't be scared!  It's very important to eat your vegetables!" 00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:23.840 The broccoli man walks toward the mac and cheese  man, and climbs onto his shoulders as the kids   00:05:23.840 --> 00:05:29.720 watch, dumbfounded. They hear footsteps coming  from behind them, and turn to see even more   00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:36.280 piles of food shaped like people. One looks like  applesauce, and one looks like peanut butter. 00:05:36.280 --> 00:05:40.840 One of the kids lets out a blood-curdling  shriek at the sight. She's allergic to peanuts,   00:05:40.840 --> 00:05:45.840 and left her epipen at home! The kids run away  from the river as fast as their feet can carry   00:05:45.840 --> 00:05:52.240 them, leaving the food people standing by the  water, sad and confused. When they get home,   00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:56.960 the kids feverishly tell their parents what they  saw that day. Several of them are surprised by the   00:05:56.960 --> 00:06:03.680 reaction: their parents believe them. They have  similarly strange stories from their days at work,   00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:09.360 and can all agree that something very  very strange is going on in town. 00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:13.640 After a few calls to the authorities,  which are initially written off as pranks,   00:06:13.640 --> 00:06:19.720 word of this anomalous food-based activity  reaches the SCP Foundation. Agents are quickly   00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:23.920 dispatched to the area to investigate, and  along the bank of the river they find the   00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:29.600 food people that the children encountered, all  standing on each others' shoulders. One by one,   00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:32.880 the agents manage to wrangle the food  people into a van for transport to the   00:06:32.880 --> 00:06:37.320 nearest containment facility.  But their work is not yet done. 00:06:37.320 --> 00:06:43.160 The anomalous activity is continuing to spread,  turning stop signs to giant pieces of pepperoni,   00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:48.120 and street lamps to bushels of apples  and oranges. Whatever is causing all of   00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:53.480 these changes, it's still in the area. The  agents cross to the other side of the river,   00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:57.840 where an unmarked building stands  abandoned and in disrepair. 00:06:57.840 --> 00:07:03.480 The first thing that the agents notice is the  bugs. Swarms of ants and other insects pour   00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:08.200 out of the building when they open the front door,  seemingly drawn by the piles of food scraps strewn   00:07:08.200 --> 00:07:12.680 across the floor. If they didn't know better,  they'd think someone was squatting here and   00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:18.920 stockpiling food. But they do know better. They've  seen the food people with their own eyes. So, they   00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:24.160 aren't too shocked to see more of them huddled  inside the ruined building. They are shocked,   00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:30.640 however, to see just how many of them there are.  Almost two dozen food people are waiting inside,   00:07:30.640 --> 00:07:34.920 stacked on top of each other in a pyramid  formation. Grains make up the bottom of   00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:39.560 the pyramid, with fruits and vegetables  on top. On top of the produce people,   00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:42.680 there are a few made from dairy  products like cottage cheese,   00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:47.560 and some made of nuts. On top, there  is a single figure made from butter. 00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:50.040 The agents consider calling for backup,   00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:56.040 but the food people appear to be peaceful. One  by one, the agents disassemble the pyramid,   00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:59.440 and each of the food people comes with  them quietly, climbing into the van.   00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:04.560 When the building is clear, the agents transport  all of the food people back to the nearest   00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:09.800 Foundation Site, and get to work on putting  out a cover story to the people of Charleston. 00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:14.200 As far as the people of Charleston, WV  know, the food people they saw that day,   00:08:14.200 --> 00:08:19.160 and every other strange occurrence, was caused  by a chemical leak. Chemicals in the Big Coal   00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:24.760 river caused a variety of unusual effects on the  population and produce. That was all, nothing more   00:08:24.760 --> 00:08:29.600 to worry about. They would never know why they  all ended the day with the feeling of a full,   00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:34.080 satisfied stomach, or why they all  had so much energy the next day.   00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:41.080 And they would never know that their  town had been visited by SCP-1630. 00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:45.880 SCP-1630 refers to a group  of 25 anomalous humanoids,   00:08:45.880 --> 00:08:54.880 each 1.54 meters tall and weighing between  21 and 231 kilograms. Instances of SCP-1630   00:08:54.880 --> 00:08:59.560 appear to have intelligence corresponding with the  average intelligence of humans between the ages   00:08:59.560 --> 00:09:05.400 of 20 and 26, and are fully capable of  standard human sense and perception. 00:09:05.400 --> 00:09:12.960 The most unusual aspect of SCP-1630 instances is  their physiology. Each instance is made up of an   00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:17.840 edible substance that is a common mainstay of  the human diet, such as fruits and vegetables,   00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:24.520 cheeses, meats, and grains. What appears to be an  instance's clothing is actually part of its body,   00:09:24.520 --> 00:09:31.160 and is also composed of these edible components.  Any damage to the body of an SCP-1630 instance   00:09:31.160 --> 00:09:37.560 will be healed promptly, at a rate of one kilogram  of regenerated mass per hour. Their bodies can be   00:09:37.560 --> 00:09:42.760 damaged by anything that would do damage to the  edible substance a given instance is made up of,   00:09:42.760 --> 00:09:48.440 but they do not appear to decompose or  rot at a standard rate. As of today,   00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:55.720 no instance of SCP-1630 has decomposed or "died"  while in Foundation custody. The instances are   00:09:55.720 --> 00:10:00.880 capable of speech and communication consistent  with their estimated intelligence levels. 00:10:00.880 --> 00:10:06.000 Every instance of SCP-1630 in Foundation  containment has been catalogued,   00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:08.840 and though I have no interest  in reading out the details on   00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:13.480 all 26 of them, I will provide some  highlights for your consideration. 00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:21.160 The first instance to be contained and catalogued  by the Foundation was SCP-1630-01. Its body is   00:10:21.160 --> 00:10:27.200 composed of raw meat, mainly pork and steak.  When spoken to, it has expressed a passionate   00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:32.440 interest in food-based trivia, particularly  pertaining to meat. It has a friendly,   00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:37.920 talkative disposition, and is known to engage  staff in rounds of meat-based trivia questions.   00:10:37.920 --> 00:10:43.000 Foundation staff converse with this instance, and  participate in its quizzes, on a regular basis in   00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:48.400 order to maintain a congenial relationship  and guarantee the entity's cooperation. 00:10:48.400 --> 00:10:55.560 SCP-1630-06 is a being constructed from baked  beans, held together by joints made from   00:10:55.560 --> 00:11:02.480 pulverized beans to fill in the gaps. It is also  coated in a classic sugar-based baked bean sauce,   00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:06.120 which occasionally drips off of its body  and onto the floor of its containment   00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:11.600 chamber. Sauce is also expelled from the  entity's mouth whenever it speaks. This   00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:16.200 sauce buildup resulted in an infestation  of ants in its original containment cell,   00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:21.280 forcing the Foundation to bring in an  exterminator to clear the area. As it turns out,   00:11:21.280 --> 00:11:25.880 my mother was right to chide me for leaving  food in my bedroom growing up. That is in   00:11:25.880 --> 00:11:33.440 fact how you get ants. SCP-1630-06 has been  moved to a new containment chamber, which is   00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:39.040 cleaned regularly to make sure that the insect  infestation will not spread or repeat itself. 00:11:39.040 --> 00:11:46.680 SCP-1630-08 is constructed entirely out of apples.  Most of its body is made up of apple slices,   00:11:46.680 --> 00:11:52.200 held together with applesauce. Its clothing is  made from strips of apple peel in various colors,   00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:58.400 primarily red. Notably, the apple slices making  up the entity's body have not shown any signs of   00:11:58.400 --> 00:12:04.200 the usual browning characteristic for sliced  apples exposed to air. Whenever spoken to,   00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:10.800 SCP-1630-08 makes heavy-handed references  to the expression "an apple a day keeps   00:12:10.800 --> 00:12:17.000 the doctor away." Whenever approached by a  doctor, the entity seems genuinely perturbed. 00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:23.680 SCP-1630-11 is constructed entirely from  butter. Because the inside of its mouth   00:12:23.680 --> 00:12:28.920 is perpetually in a semi-liquid state, it  is incapable of coherent speech. However,   00:12:28.920 --> 00:12:33.800 it is able to communicate via American Sign  Language. Where it learned sign language,   00:12:33.800 --> 00:12:39.640 it will not say. Several Site-77 personnel fluent  in American Sign Language have been assigned to   00:12:39.640 --> 00:12:44.840 its containment area, so that they can maintain  an open line of communication with the anomaly. 00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:52.000 SCP-1630-13 is made of oatmeal, clumped  together into a humanoid formation. Strangely,   00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:57.680 it is always emitting a small amount of steam as  if the oatmeal has just been freshly prepared.   00:12:57.680 --> 00:13:03.960 Foundation Staff who have skipped breakfast  are not permitted to interact with SCP-1630-13,   00:13:04.560 --> 00:13:09.160 just in case. Requests from this  entity for honey, maple syrup,   00:13:09.160 --> 00:13:13.680 or a sprinkle of cinnamon are to  be rejected, for obvious reasons. 00:13:13.680 --> 00:13:19.760 SCP-1630-15 is made up of garlic slices,  and its clothing is constructed from   00:13:19.760 --> 00:13:25.440 strips of garlic woven together.  Unlike other instances of SCP-1630,   00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:31.160 it has no sense of smell. The same cannot be said  for personnel assigned to its containment chamber,   00:13:31.160 --> 00:13:35.800 though I'd wager a guess that they wish  they had the same affliction. Though,   00:13:35.800 --> 00:13:41.520 several staff have recorded becoming "nose blind"  to it over time, as well as expressing gratitude   00:13:41.520 --> 00:13:46.800 that they are not assigned to look after an  instance made from an even more pungent foodstuff. 00:13:46.800 --> 00:13:51.120 If you share the same propensity  for morbid curiosity as I do,   00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:58.360 you may be asking yourself: do these beings  ever...sample their own wares, so to speak? 00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:03.640 As far as I can ascertain, most of them do not.  But there are exceptions. One of these exceptions   00:14:03.640 --> 00:14:11.800 is SCP-1630-22, which is composed of cottage  cheese. Ever since it was first contained,   00:14:11.800 --> 00:14:18.760 SCP-1630-22 has been observed consuming small  portions of itself on a regular basis. It isn't   00:14:18.760 --> 00:14:24.320 much, usually only a finger here and there, or  a small chunk of its arm. When asked about this   00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:29.040 practice, it simply explained that it enjoys  the taste, and the process does not hurt.   00:14:29.680 --> 00:14:34.640 Still, this habit was cause for some  concern on the part of the Foundation,   00:14:34.640 --> 00:14:40.560 and personnel have been assigned to monitor  SCP-1630-22 to ensure that it does not   00:14:40.560 --> 00:14:46.200 accidentally eat a bit too much of itself, and  accidentally self-terminate in the process. 00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:51.800 As far as I can tell, this is the only instance  of SCP-1630 that has been observed participating   00:14:51.800 --> 00:14:57.280 in this sort of autocannibalistic activity.  But I hesitate to declare that for certain,   00:14:57.280 --> 00:15:03.160 given how little we understand these entities. I  do have to wonder what could be so appealing about   00:15:03.160 --> 00:15:08.240 cottage cheese though. I never feel the impulse  to snack on cottage cheese, and I wouldn’t even   00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:13.760 have to sacrifice a finger to do so! But I’m  getting off track. Where was I? Right, yes… 00:15:13.760 --> 00:15:19.480 SCP-1630-24 is made up of peanut  butter-specifically, the crunchy   00:15:19.480 --> 00:15:24.760 variety. I imagine a being made of smooth peanut  butter would have a bit more difficulty moving   00:15:24.760 --> 00:15:31.360 and speaking, but the anatomy of these entities  is so confounding that I can’t say for certain.   00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:38.200 This instance of SCP-1630 is known for cracking  jokes and speaking in non-sequiturs. When asked   00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:43.520 about its sense of humor, notably more present  than in other instances, it replied “I guess   00:15:43.520 --> 00:15:48.800 I’m just nuts!” Aside from accidentally  sending a staff member into anaphylaxis   00:15:48.800 --> 00:15:57.160 during containment (promptly treated with an epi  pen), SCP-1630-24 has caused no notable issues. 00:15:57.160 --> 00:16:02.720 When more than three instances of SCP-1630  are in the same room, they will begin to   00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:08.760 climb on top of each other and form what I  can only describe as a "food pyramid." The US   00:16:08.760 --> 00:16:13.680 Department of Agriculture's classic Food Pyramid  seems to be the inspiration for this formation,   00:16:13.680 --> 00:16:18.280 as the instances will place themselves in  a position matching that diagram, and their   00:16:18.280 --> 00:16:25.240 corresponding food item's place on it. How exactly  SCP-1630 learned about the food pyramid remains to   00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:32.640 be seen. When asked about the pyramid formation,  and this peculiar behavior, SCP-1630 instances   00:16:32.640 --> 00:16:38.720 will simply respond that they are "fulfilling  America's dedication to eat healthy every day." 00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:43.600 But they don't just enter this pyramid formation  and remain there with no anomalous effects. When   00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:47.720 the instances have reached their intended  positions, it will trigger something known   00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:53.960 as a Delta Event. As soon as a Delta Event is  set into motion, human subjects in the vicinity   00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:59.280 will experience fullness and contentment as  if they have just finished eating a healthy,   00:16:59.280 --> 00:17:04.240 well-balanced meal. Inanimate materials  in the area will transform, maintaining   00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:08.280 their shape but changing into an edible  version of itself like something out of   00:17:08.280 --> 00:17:13.520 a health-conscious Charlie and the Chocolate  Factory knockoff. The foods that these items   00:17:13.520 --> 00:17:19.280 change into depend on the SCP-1630  instances present for the Delta Event. 00:17:19.280 --> 00:17:24.920 Documents, visual or written, will also  transform- but not into food. Instead,   00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:28.960 their content will change to highlight  the importance of eating a balanced diet,   00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:33.720 as well as many reminders to follow the guidance  of the food pyramid. The zone affected by the   00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:38.680 Delta Event will spread at a rate of 100  meters per hour, and this progression can   00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:44.600 only be stopped by forcibly separating  the SCP-1630 instances from one another. 00:17:44.600 --> 00:17:52.000 All instances of SCP-1630 must be kept in humanoid  containment chambers located at Site-77. Their   00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:56.400 conditions must be climate controlled depending  on the composition of the individual instance,   00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:01.560 and the optimal temperature and moisture level  for preserving it. No more than three instances of   00:18:01.560 --> 00:18:08.320 SCP-1630 may be allowed out of containment areas  at one time. If a containment breach should occur,   00:18:08.320 --> 00:18:13.240 security personnel have been authorized to  use lethal force to prevent a Delta Event. 00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:19.520 After I first learned of SCP-1630, I found  it rather charming- if a bit unsanitary. I   00:18:19.520 --> 00:18:24.480 don't much care for the idea of that much food  sitting out, touching the floor and various other   00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:29.840 shared surfaces all day. But an emphasis  on health and nutrition seemed to suggest   00:18:29.840 --> 00:18:36.840 that SCP-1630 instances have good intentions,  execution of those intentions aside. But then,   00:18:36.840 --> 00:18:41.920 I read the addendum attached to the  file concerning a troubling development. 00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:50.573 On June 2, 2010, a new instance of SCP-1630  was contained and designated SCP-1630-26.   00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:56.360 Its composition appeared to be sugars, fats,  and artificial substances such as flavorings   00:18:56.360 --> 00:19:03.400 and preservatives. After it was contained, a  Delta Event was performed with SCP-1630-26 in   00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:09.360 a controlled, sterile environment. During this  event, personnel taking part experienced nausea,   00:19:09.360 --> 00:19:14.840 and a phantom sweet taste in their mouths. At  the same time, documents throughout Site-77   00:19:14.840 --> 00:19:21.520 were replaced by advertisements for various fast  food, candy, and other confectionery corporations.   00:19:21.520 --> 00:19:26.240 Many of these corporations have not yet been  confirmed to exist. A couch in the staff break   00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:31.280 room transformed into a pile of french fries,  while the water cooler's contents became thick,   00:19:31.280 --> 00:19:36.720 syrupy sweet, and artificially colored  with a discontinued red food dye. 00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:41.680 The carpet turned to cotton candy, while tiles  in the hallway turned to square hamburger   00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:47.040 patties. Other transformed items took on the  shapes of foods that could not be identified,   00:19:47.040 --> 00:19:54.600 but that gave off a strong meaty yet sweet smell  that was described simply as "artificial." After   00:19:54.600 --> 00:20:01.000 the conclusion of the Delta Event, SCP-1630-26  was moved to another site, and containment   00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:08.160 procedures for SCP-1630 are pending updates.  Since this incident, Site-77's medical staff   00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:13.240 have expressed concern regarding the elevated  cholesterol levels of the onsite personnel as   00:20:13.240 --> 00:20:18.840 well as a host of other health problems often  attributed to poor diet and vitamin deficiency. 00:20:18.840 --> 00:20:23.560 Food and nutrition play a vital role in  all of our lives. After all, without it,   00:20:23.560 --> 00:20:28.720 we would cease to live at all. But what  forces might create such anomalous food-based   00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:33.240 beings? I can't wrap my mind around it.  None of the instances will reveal where   00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:37.880 they might have come from, or who might have  created them. Were they born inside of that   00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:43.760 chemical factory in West Virginia? Did their  creator sell his technology to some corporation,   00:20:43.760 --> 00:20:52.120 perhaps one of those advertised in the SCP-1630-26  Delta Event? I don't know. All I know is that I'm   00:20:52.120 --> 00:20:56.440 starting to get a bit peckish after thinking  about this much food. Whatever they are,   00:20:56.440 --> 00:21:03.920 wherever they came from, SCP-1630 gives a new  meaning to that old adage, "You are what you eat." 00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:07.640 Check out the Dr. Bob Patreon and  become a junior researcher today!   00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:14.280 Now go and watch another entry from the  files of Dr. Bob, like "SCP-2450 - TEETH!”
