Ok CZcams, I'll watch the banana video.
Same
Yeah, that's how I feel every time I log on nowadays. "Fine, CZcams, if you're sooooooo sure I'll like the video about the Top Ten Failed McDonald's Products... I'm still not gonna watch it! HA!!!"
At least it's not obsidian this time.
I'm glad I did
😂 yea
why is this narrator so charismatic it's bizarre
He could sell me anything.
Pretty sure I would be too if i owned my own vintage soda shop :)
Southern charm
I kinda like it lol
Cause he's the top banana
9:30, that kid held out his hand so long just to drop it when he finally got one...
*instant cutaway*
It seems rude to just sit there with your hand out like that.
Were not rude in Canada like in the US. We say please and thank you......we dont just stand there waiting for our entitlement for privelege, with our hand out. gross.

I literally laughed my ass off for 2 minutes over this comment for no reason
Came for the banana hard candy, stayed for the interesting history lesson about how bananas are at risk of going extinct due to monoculture

@@muggrootbeerstfu lol these comments are so annoying

My guy dropping banana facts.
9:31
@@zercool9209 haha, more like dropping banana (literally)
That kid at the end dropping banana candy.
Herculez God of Gainz and bananas out the kids hand
Alright, I'm convinced by this one video.
If I end up in Tallahassee at any point in my life, I'll buy some candy.
I'll put it in my bucket list
That's why I'll put it in my bucket list; the experience is what counts
Your missing out if you don't buy some of this candy. I ordered some online and was shocked how small the bag seemed. But that little bag packs more enjoyment then a few bags of the cheap stuff.
Dante's Disco Inferno This comment has 69 likes. Nice.
I had to order this after 3 years and many watching, taste like a dried banana chip! IMO THE BEST hard candy I have had
The narrator is so nice and really loves his job. This just warmed my heart.
9:09 LoL, did that kid in the background say "Thats how fast I chomp down on M&Ms"
Kid is legend
*expecting a fun video about banana candy*
"BANANAS ARE DYING"
*XD*
LOL
I expected the past story, wasn't aware they were dying again.
"It would be a much sadder place if the world didn't have banana splits"
It would be sad if we didn't have Greg tbh
9:31 Poor kid thought he was gonna get some candy, but then gravity interfered and Little Boy went without.
What a tragedy.
IKR LMAO
Gravity is a bitch :D
Whatchoo mean, pendejo?
(Edit: @ElDeeJayDee)
I think my favorite part is he was saying that he was inviting the customers to be 'taste testers,' and he probably gave the kid another piece of candy, but for some reason they chose to show that one shot of that kid missing out on candy.
Yeah, that's how you learn not to hold your hand out at a 45 degree angle. xD
9:30 That kid: "All around me are familiar faces, worn out places, worn out faces......"
9:31 is just a cinematical masterpiece
"They liked it" tosses the candy to the needy kid, (cutscene) 😂😂💀
So youtube recommends a 10 minute video about how to make banana candy while at the same time listening to banana philosophy.
Can't say I'm mad.
This proves that CZcams loves you.
@@LoftyPursuits That seems logical xD
A nice break from all the gaming and cat videos I usually end up with. And I really feel for a good banana right now. Will have to wait for tomorrow though.
While wearing a banana hammock.
So many people are talking about how wholesome this mass recommendation is without ever mentioning how it's a low-key *ad.*
I desperately want to taste some hard candy when it's still goopy, but I also want to be able to taste things for the rest of my life. :(
Just get some Laffy Taffy. Close enough.
Omg you said it. It looks so tasty.
The most forbidden liquid next to spicy honey, lava glucose
SAME LMAO
it's incredibly hot
I like how these videos aren’t just about the candy, they’re always filled with fun and new information related to the candy being made! I keep learning new things all the time thanks to these videos!
did I just end up watching a 10 minute video about banana candy
Yup i am to
you did, and you liked it.
I'm not quite sure why CZcams recommended me a 10 minute video about a candy I've never had...
CZcams may love you.
I think for me it was either because i was watching a lot of blacksmithing videos and that babish show which both fall under a sorta "how it's made" demographic. Also some sciency channels like nilered might've helped my recommendations along
+The Yolo Gamer No we don't.
Lofty Pursuits ahaha what even
Lofty Pursuits nice vids
Each like is a prayer for the piece of candy that fell out of the boy's hand at the end.
TheMetalHippo lol, I felt very sad for that boy
That's what he gets for reaching over the glass like that.
Sanorace Honestly, yeah. Dunno why but that rubbed me the wrong way. He held it out expectantly like he had the right to get some candy.
Sanorace yeah
Okie XD
Lofty pursuits is now one of my favorite channels. It pleases my inner child with all the candy, and pleases my outer adult self with peaceful music, awesome narration and knowledge i never knew i needed
“The yellow wrap is what gives our banana candy it’s great a-PEEL.”
Hey, stop monkeying around with words!
You can surely bamboozle someone by making banana candy taste like peppermint or fireball
Explain how a fireball would taste ;)
Kardainz Kardain it's an alcoholic drink
+Kardainz Kardain Very spicy :)
Kardainz Kardain cinnamon whiskey
as spicy as eating a spoon of fresh cinnamon
"I always thought the yellow wrap was what gave our banana candy it's apPEEL" Please tell me you said that on purpose.
Of course he did! It wouldn't be a Lofty Pursuit video without some sly, under-the-table witticism.
That said, I am so happy for this channel and this video in particular, because I love bananas and have always lamented the fate of the Gros Michel, thinking it utterly extinct, but that's what I get for not doing my research, I'm just happy it exists in some form.
Why else would he say it?
Areo Banana Puns. XD
lol
Jureii I
CZcams recommended me a random video, and I quite enjoyed it. I was interested in something I never cared about, but now will.
CZcams love is the best. Watch some of our other videos, I think you will like them as much.
"gross micheal" sounds a lot less appetizing than "grow me shell"
this is the most wholesome youtube channel
kaho omg I did not expect to find a furry animator on a candy channel lmao. I was just watching your videos
kaho agreed
Anything wrong with that?
with the cleanest, most best pleasure
You might also enjoy Pasta Grannies and Food Wishes!
now this is the randomly recommended content i didn't sign up for but will accept
Please subscribe, we do a lot of videos i hope you'll like.
way ahead of you, I subscribed immediately after finishing the video :D
@@RhodianColossus I subbed, too! I love bananas!
@@RhodianColossus And liked.
2 years later, covid-19 is here. We still have bananas
The Recluse no the disease only killed bananas
It’s a Rona Season miracle!
still bananas. UNless yoU dont have bananaS A very Notable sight iNdeed. yoU got it right Sir.
2020 may've been bad but atleast the year didn't take our bananas
I used to be a productive member of society but now I spend all my free time watching candy videos and planning road trips to Tallahassee. 100% worth it.
I don't know about you guys, but I think I have a hunch on why youtube recommended me this video.
my kind of video
Are you getting a bunch of banana videos recommended, or just this one?
Absolutely the best video I never wanted to watch.
My thoughts exactly.
I was basically forced to watch this by its persistence in my recommendations
@@adonaiyah2196 Any regrets?
Yes it s amazing
@@ntlespino probably not
This man sounds like he has a story for everything, and it's great
The way he keeps seamlessly switching from instructions on making his candy back to banana facts is too much for my brain to keep up with I love it
I don't know why youtube recommended this channel to me, but I'm glad it did.
+Gergő Turán I suspect it was recommended out of CZcamss love for you ;)
Gergő Turán exact same here
Gergő Turán same
Ugyan ez
I just wrote the same thing. I just saw your comment. odd
What if all advertisements were like this?
Totally agree
Yeah, I agree. I like Old Spice commercials!
Stayn Wayn - If only!
Look up John Lewis ads.for a treat.
@@LoftyPursuits Thank you!
Love your commentary instead of quietness of some other videos of this! It feels so legit and family-like! Love you already!
I can't explain why, but this is one of the most delightful and wholesome things I've seen in a long time. Bravo!
This man surely adores his job!
I never expected to sub to a... candy making channel?
*squinting at your avatar*
Uhhh....Oh....yeah....yeah?
Can’t deny it; It’s a sweet deal.
You've taken your viewers back to a simpler time! Thank you!
youve been blessed by the algorithm, ive had this in recommended videos for MONTHS now, but you absolutely deserve it. Very fun, wholesome and entertaining
They said banana so many times that it doesn't sound right anymore.
Raptor 987 Banahnuh
take a shot everytine they say "banana".
fraulein waffles eat a banana everytime he says banana.
12000g of sugar
That's what she said 😈
Nikolai If anyone says theyre a hard drinker Im gonna have them play this version.
There's nothing quite as wholesome as owning a vintage candy shop.
the fact that this is handcrafted but with an image of a banana in every candy piece is really a show of human enginuity.
K but can we talk about how great a voice this guy has?
This guy is so pure...
MS Paint ikr??
I would eat his candy without even testing it.
@@Snibble But arnt you eating it if your tasting it?
I like how you tell us facts while ur making it
Not the brightest bulb.
8:42 you can see the people at the counter staring at the candy. I’d be staring too. Such methodical cutting.
Man this is such a smart way to make a "how its made" food video. Undoubtable you will always have long stretches of footage that take much less time to explain. The way you transitioned between what you were doing and additional info, back to what you were doing, was so seamless and pleasing. Often I start videos like this but x out halfway in. This was too engaging for me to quit, and I didn't even feel dirty afterwards like I normally do from idle clicking. Just a nourishing, well-made video I suppose.
I hate banana candies but DAMN the craftsmanship of this thing esp when the banana image in the center was shown!
Boy this guy really likes bananas
You could say he's *bananas*?
Me too
Love this video I still re-watch it over and over and I dont get bored of it. It reminds me when my dad used to take me to his jelly factory, its not the same but it still nostalgic. never delete this video thank you.
Found this by complete random accident. It was very insightful and surprisingly relaxing and I soon found myself stuck in a state of nostalgia of my own childhood and how candy played a huge role in my life as a youngster. I also admire the way you cut up the pieces of candy, all by hand, no machines; that's true love and dedication for what you do for a living. If I'm ever in Tallahassee I'll come make a visit.
6:55. Those "strands" are called "phloem", and they care the nutrients to the banana while it grows.
oohh, cool!

Will you speak at my funeral?
he'll probably mention where his store is located during it
Roghjo Gallagher
Too much effort... just host the funeral in the store.
Roghjo Gallagher He'd be like, "ih dear Edward unfortunately didn't eat enough bananas and is now passed. He grew up in Idaho, which is just an 8 hour drive from exit 10, in Tallahassee"
9:31 "....They liked it" *Candy hits the floor*
Can't believe this channel is so popular. I not only live in Tally, but I've been to Lofty several times. So wild, but you guys deserve the attention.
Thanks
9:30 ha ha no candy for the last kid.
I was looking for this comment
Yeah noticed that lol. Cuts immediately after too so it feels like it was left in intentionally.
Me too
I feel bad for laughing, it's like a slap in the face lol.
he waited long and in the end, it doesn't even matter
Yes, CZcams kept putting it in my "Recommended for you". And, I didn't know why and kept avoiding it. I gave in tonight. And CZcams was right! It was interesting, entertaining, educational, and I like it and Subscribed. I wonder what is next?!?!...
9:31 the kid dropped the banana candy 😂
But that's ok, I'm sure he still got to eat one
I don't know why I was recommended this, but I thoroughly enjoyed this and feel like I actually learned something today. Thanks y'all!
Thank you so much! I bought these for my boyfriend as a valentines day gift and he LOVED them and he (funny enough) bought me the ROSE ones! We bond over these videos and thank you for making us happy with your incredible candy
I love to hear this.
9:31
Crushed dreams.
lmfao
I'm so glad someone else saw that
"They liked it" 😂😂😂
🙏
SADNESS
Man, I don’t know how this got on my feed but I do appreciate it. Reminds me when I would go to Michigan to visit my dad’s family. How home town feeling and retro it was.
Okay okay, I took the CZcams recommendation to watch this video. I'm fascinated and going to share it everywhere now!
So much banana info!! And, what a fantastic ad for his candy shoppe! I was road tripping through Florida last month, and I'm truly saddened I didn't know about this place before setting off on the trip.

That's a lot of potassium
Oh YeAh BaBY
I don't even like bananas but I like watching this
Awesome AMVs its okay everyone have diffrenf prefrence

Maria Lima ppppoi
Maria Lima candy making is more satisfying that I thought
im allergic to bananas rip
A man with true passion for his work is very refreshing.
If all your videos are as charming and informative as this one I will probably spend quite a lot of time watching this channel in the near future.
Thank you. Many are.
I got way more education out of this that I ever expected. Pretty darn cool
That's crazy a banana shape comes out of that!
pat_snow08 ikr
This episode is definitely my go-to to introduce people to this channel, that way I can hopefully one day take a road trip with some people
I found this channel on a whim and now i love it for some reason.
I didn't even know we were on a whim. I thought we were just on CZcams
I've never heard gros michel pronounced that way. I've always heard it pronounced 'groh mee-SHELL.' Sorry, couldn't resist. ;)
Stephanie Keck Idk if it's french but that's how we would pronounce it
Pieulpe I think it is French.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing.
Yes, this!!! It bothered me every time he said it!
that is how it's pronounced, his mispronunciation was bothering me. Glad i'm not the only one who noticed.
The kid dropped his candy....lol
hhhhahaahahaah i knooow
had his hand held out first n everything. comedy gold
Yeah what a damned fool. I would have beat his ass if it was my kid for bring embarrassment like that onto the family.
Right in the store in front of everyone. That's how you raise em right.
Stalker And he wait was waiting so long too.. lol
This is the most satisfying and entertaining thing I've ever seen. I could watch this for hours
Great voiceover. Really loved all the information provided.
There is just something oddly satisfying to this
Genius move putting your store show on CZcams like this. I just made an order for your candies myself. I can't wait to find out if it's as good as it looks.
David Bowser was it as m good as it looks
You sir, are the single greatest youtuber. You made me love what you do and I learned heaps. Good job YT algorithm
the way he cuts the candy at the end is so mesmerizing
I do like artificial banana flavor, I agree it tastes artificial, and not like banana, but I still like it
veggiet2009 I actually like the artificial banana flavor too. Banana laffy taffy is my favorite.
Moon pie 👌 and popsicles.
Fukai Kokoro Banana laffy taffy uses real natural flavor actually
It’s my favorite too
Same
@@FukaiKokoro same🤤🤤🤤
So interesting for so many reasons! Watching you make the candy is hypnotic as always. But the banana facts really stole the show for me this time. I knew about the monoculture problem but did not realize it was related to that artificial banana flavour mystery. Why on earth can't people cultivate different varieties? I think it would be awesome to be able to go to the store and buy different kinds of bananas the way you can with oranges and apples. I'm sure there are reasons but I'd love to know more about them. And the banana peeling thing...my jaw dropped. How did we not know that?
This WAS a fscinating video.
I have always eaten bananas from the flower end and was often teased about it, but I never noticed it reduced the strands!
I used to watch these all the time! Rewatching this I know why because it’s so relaxinggg...
This video talks about so much more than just the candy and I love it
I am subscribing
This is fantastic
This is cool. I think I'll stay around to watch more
I really want to make the 2.5 hr drive to tally just to watch you make candy. If I called, would you be able to tell me when you're planning on making candy? So I could take a little trip?
+WolfofLedgend Sadly we do not have a fixed schedule.
WolfofLedgend I'm 6 hours away, I'm going to make a pit stop next time I drive up to Georgia.
Lofty Pursuits Well I'll have to plan a trip anyway. I think it'll definitely be worth the drive. 😄
I'm like 5 hours away but def wanna stop by one day
WolfofLedgend a 6 hour flight for me
Dude, I love your videos.
I get to learn stuff and watch someone who is a master at their craft!
Bravo sir
Not the video i searched, but boy am I glad I watched.
I had banana milk once and I was very surprised it didn't taste artificial. it tasted just like a real banana, if a little unripened
I personally never seen someone peel a banana from the stem end, unless they were trying to be weird. Different states, different customs, I presume.
Obsidian Garbage i chew banana until its liquid and spit it on a glass until its filled to the brim and then i put i to the freezer and there we go cold banana milkshake or popsicle
Titanium Mobile Gaming yeah I do that if I ever have guests over and they need a cold banana milkshake
"Gross Michael"
It was a French name, Gros Michel. As such, it's pronounced "grow Michelle".
+2sudonim I think both would be accurate.
French person says an english word wrong and its called an accent.
English speaker says a french word wrong and its mispronounced.
@Sets As a bilingual, I would say that either example you stated are mispronunciations. There is a distinction between an accent and a mispronounced word.
not really quite like "grow" either... it means large.
It's the best I could do with English phonemes. To do better, I'd need to use ITA characters or something similar.
That was simply beautiful :D The story, the technique, the work ethic, the narration. If i am ever visiting the States and more specifically Florida, i will definitely be stopping by this place!
amazing channel along with excellent information regarding food and some botanical/agronomist information. It was a pleasure to watch it!
And I've never seen in Brazil a candy like that! Really caught my attention!
I still don't understand how they make it look like a banana inside. Magic ))
@@leolego2 got it only now))) thanks
Enjoyed the video. The banana history was interesting. One of those things I'd never really thought about.
I love these old fashioned candy makers and soda fountains and really wish there was more shops like this.
Thought provoking and wholesome, I came for the candy but stayed for the great commentary!
Why does grape candy not taste like grapes?
+First Name Last Name grape flavoring natural grape flavoring that is can't take the Heat. Artificial grape flavoring is based off concord grapes not the typical grapes we get in the store
It does.....if you drink Welch's Conord grape juice or eat their Concord grape jelly. Eating grapes are bred to have lower sugar to extend their shelf life..
recently I had some raisins that tasted exactly like grape candy flavor. They were in China
Lofty Pursuits Cool thanks!
Try a Concord grape sometime, tastes just like candy.
I have no idea how google knew to recommend this but I am glad they did! Love the channel!
Covid19: humans are dying
CZcams2020: hey, bananas might die too
