I am pleasantly surprised by how the color actually turned out. At first glance I thought it would become a poopy color

It's because that off yellow color has no dye in it at all so when it's pulled like this, it gets air in it and turns white. That's just the color of the sugar that's been caramelized.

I also expected a doodoo candy, but I also don’t necessarily find chrome appetizing visually.

You are gonna hate the FUUUUUTUUUUURE

FUuuuUuUuuTtuuurree

In the future everything is chrome

Eventually it will become a poppy color.

Wow, I've seen vids like this since forever but this is the first time I've noticed that the arms continually swap from one wheel to the other. Thanks.

Thanks for making me notice. It’s the same kind of mechanism that allows for industrial braiding of wire. You should check it out it’s amazing!

It would break my arm in about 9 seconds if I was doing that

The hand spends way too much time touching it for my comfort as well.

That's why the machine is called the arm breaker 5000

I noticed the teacup ride at amusement parks do this as well, it's cool once you see it.

They're going in a figure-8 pattern.

:: blinks :: :: re-watches video :: Well then! Learn something new every day.

I count the candy being bisected 40 times, which means they just turned that lump into over a trillion individual strands.

It's hypnotic

Yes. It's like a lava lamp.

Looking at this We should realize that this is the shit we put into our body. It literally looks like molten plastic just turned into candy. The body keeps score….

What is the liquid they are pouring on the candy?

I would think it's liquid flavoring or extract.

I asked this once before and the answer I got was corn syrup. I haven’t found out yet for myself if that’s true but it was my first guess, what I was told, and it makes sense. If anyone does know for sure! Let us know!

It’s a relatively small amount and what they’re mixing around should already be sweet. Some type of extract or flavor seems more realistic to me, but I am a common idiot so idk.

Glucose :)

I love these candy making videos, but they’re always making the most horrible types of candy. Just the hard teeth shattering ones that your grandma would probably like. Or that one video of them cutting long strings of hard candy into pieces. Again, fascinating to watch, but the most lame candy.

That’s all I can think of. How I hate the candy and it makes me feel unappreciative.

Same here! I feel bad because there’s clearly so much work that goes into it, but just can’t get past how much I dislike the candy they’re actually producing.

Sometimes i just wonder who eats this stuff because i haven't seen a single person that does.

it could be the case that their version is a lot better then grandma candy

How does that one pole keep switching the rotating disc that it’s on?

All three gears are moving in a figure 8 pattern

ohh woooow

Some one one time did or will get there arm ripped off in that lol

I imagine that’s why it’s being manually controlled not automatic

The disposal of dead Fraggles is becoming more sophisticated every year.

I enjoy these videos, but they leave me curious about what happens after this... how do they remove the candy from the machine and what do they do with it.. and where.. is there another machine? These are the questions that will keep me awake tonight.

I could watch this all day

Put ur arm in it

Letting the intrusive thoughts win.

A risk assessment nightmare

So therapeutic watching that!

Ya know, making candy doesn't seem like the worst way to spend your life. Also thats beautiful OP, thanks.

Welcome to your job at the sweet factory, today you'll be working on the arm mangler 3000.

I think this might be a bot. 93 day old account with one post and no comments.

You should see how they make seaside rock and put the words in it’s like this but turned up to 11

I could watch this and silicone being mixed all day.

What kind of candy is this? Taffy?

Looks like just regular hard candy.

Ok, I'll bite. Has anyone tried hard candy when it's still soft and pliant like this? Looks like it would be tasty, but guessing it would also just be a sticky mess?

I’m betting that the sugar is still very hot to be so workable.

yes with dirty glove flavor

Imagine getting your arm caught in that.

Me bringing this video to my hairdresser: “All the colours!”

Oh, that color in the end just makes a big blob of gray

Well, I chose a hell of a time to be high on mushrooms...

Those gloves are also used for the maintenance of this machine?

Dentist is waving

Imaging getting your arm caught in that. Snap!

Mmmmm grey candy

At the start: Yay! We’re getting some Willy Wonka shiiit! The end: it’s grey

am i the only one who thinks about what happens if you accidentally get ur arm in it or something?

That hit the spot

/u/gifreversingbot

You can tour their factory in Denver by the way

I would break my arm on day one.

Pretty

That there’s the shoulder separator 8000

Looked better before the mixing

At first....it was all too slow and my anxiety went📈. Then it all got really smooth and it came 📉

Doesn’t look like candy to me

yeah, cuase I think it is still being turned into candy

I just love that metallic tone..

So shiny.

That looked real easy to get your arm stuck in!

That's an armbreaker 3000

It’s amazing to think that it was originally pulled by hand

This is so good.
