From the first time I saw the cornflour and water experiment to now, when my Masters project will focus on particle suspensions causing Non-Newtonian behavior in fluids I've been captivated.
Here's a playlist of some good videos on YouTube about it. It mainly focuses on shear-thickening behaviors but it's a good representation of how odd liquids can behave:
This is Veritasium's take on the cornflour/water mix on a speaker video and had a great analogy for shear-thickening by describing it like traffic in LA.
