Explanation Why the Plastic Filled with Water is Not Leaked

Ice cube plastic, also known as ice lolly plastic, is a form of PP (polypropylene) plastic manufactured from long chemical chains of polymers. Because this plastic is more elastic, it will stretch when pulled. Because of the elastic nature of the plastic, when the sharp end of the pencil is inserted into it, the plastic will attach to the pencil. The area around the surface of the pencil that penetrates the plastic will be sealed by adhering the plastic to the pencil, preventing water from escaping from the plastic bag.

So, how do you go about doing that? Is the experience enjoyable? Do you want to try something else?
