    💑 About Hercules Candy
    Hercules Candy has been on Steve’s side of the family since 1910(ish). When he took over in the 70’s, he anticipated after 10 years of hard work, he could move the business out of the basement and into a real storefront. Unfortunately, it took until 2018 for that to happen, but hey at least it happened! Steve and Terry own the shop, Craig (the social media manager) is their son, Cara (wrapper and shipper extraordinaire who is poised to take over the shop one day) is their daughter and Leah (who doesn’t love being on camera and is very elusive) is their oldest daughter. Karen has been working for Hercules Candy since the twins (Craig and Cara) were about 6 months old and everybody else is a new recruit. Don’t forget to subscribe and hit the 🔔 for more videos!

    The workers are the Oompa Loompas. If Kara worked at Willy Wonka's, she would be the Oompa Loompa. Kara:"I don't know how to be gentle." That's something an Oompa Loompa would say. Also, minerals are the individual chemical compounds that make up rocks. Salt is a chemical compound, so it is a mineral. "Rock salt" is an industrial term, not a scientific term.

    Wouldn't it be easier to stretch if you cut each of the 4ths in half? Easier access to the center?

    • @PixieLovesItAll
      @PixieLovesItAll Před rokem +2

      I think it would cool down too fast to stretch it if they cut the batch in eighths, they would need double the amount of candy makers to make that method effective. It's much easier to thin out hard candy if the center stays warm. They used to only do 3 segments even and it did fine, the only reason they started doing 4 was to make it easier to handle during the transition from the cooling table to the counter.
