Could you swim in chocolate pudding?

Question

Would it keep you afloat?

Answer 1

Well, technically if the pudding is denser than you then you will float. But, keep in mind that if it isn't, you could still float but it would be harder.

(Water is less dense than humans, and we can still float in it)

Answer 2

i think that you would sink like a stone and drown.  really.  cheers!

Answer 3

I think you probably could. I definitely think it would be fun to try!

Answer 4

eww why would you want to?

Answer 5

I probably could, but then get really fat eating it up.

Answer 6

I think it would come down to volume.  In theory the viscosity of a liquid medium should only marginally impact swimming speed, however I think that theory would break down as the liquid became to be more of a solid.  You should be able to stay near the top of a 'pudding pool', but I wouldn't bet on your ability to be able to swim to the bottom AND back up.  

I am planning on building a jell-o pool once I save enough (should be about 5-6 years unless I find a sponsor with a couple grand they don't mind pissing away).  After I try jell-o, I'll try pudding and let you know.

Answer 7

Depends on how thick and delicious it is. If it's good pudding then you will drown.
