Lifexp what are those water crystals used/made for?

Looks similar to silicone imo. (just saying cause article said they do not melt.)

They do not melt :lol:

They are loaded with water

They are superabsorbent polymers. Used to hold water like a diaper. Try melting the gel from a wet diaper :wink:

I have a vase full of these, you can refill the water and they will be just like new.
