The Custard Bowl!! Hey, that's kind of a thing already right?
Now I know what you're all thinking, why on earth would anyone want to play a game of football drowning in custard? And it's honestly a good question, but that, my friends, is where physics comes into play!
I use to watch a TV show when I was younger called 'Brainiac' - it was a science show because I was cool, obviously, and they'd find ways of making all these wacky ideas physically possible. Custard is, fundamentally, a non-newtonian fluid meaning it has variable viscosity based on stress. Basically, keep running on it and it will be solid, stand still and you'll start to sink!
So all we need now is a massive container, I'm talking like Olympic swimming pool size, and a sh*t load of custard and we can play the first ever football game on custard!! It would be challenging, sure, but it would be fun, maybe, and it would certainly be different! (162 words)
