Peate, 25, who has a syndrome which makes her joints unstable, was treated at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital the next day. She said she would be “more conscious of the size of food in future.”

The answer delves into the fascinating realm of physics and the special behaviors of liquids. Soap bubbles are formed when air molecules become trapped inside a thin layer of soapy water, giving them a shimmering appearance.
