On biting and not so much

– These idiots put a porcelain container with 'the jelly' into a special chamber, supposedly isolated… That is, they thought the chamber was perfectly isolated, but when they opened the container with manipulators, 'the jelly' leaked through the metal and plastic like water through a sponge, burst out, and everything it touched turned back into 'the jelly'.
