    You’ve got to appreciate that people like this guy are still making candy with their bare hands when most candy nowadays is made by a machine.

      Farhan/ Power I’m not saying it’s a problem, some new candies made in factories are quite good, but as moon jar said , this is starting to die off, so the fact that this man is still making candy for other people to experience is quite amazing.

      @@cylnder I mean we all saw how hard he had to pull for that. A lot of candy makers that I have seen it used heat insulating gloves and don't cool the candy down nearly as much as he did just because it's so hard. I think part of what helps the people who make a bigger batches though is that the candy is heavy enough that it stretches itself for a little bit. That's why a lot of the candy hooks are hung on a wall at about head height.

    I was super anxious throughout the whole video looking at him dealing with literally boiling sugar with BARE HANDS and with minimal protection, that anxiety turned to massive respect later as he pulled and stretched that candy by hand. He must have so much strength and skill, plus experience and scars to be able to do that. Mad props.

      You people take it for granted that everything will be provided in English captions, but it’s more effort consuming to translate than you realize. You don’t need to react each time to a no-caption vid with “how dare they disregard me!” vibes.

    We have exactly this sweet in Poland too. Often they add food coloring to it. I dont know about other cities but where my Grandma lives this is always sold on festivals like the ‘Wszystkich swietych’ on 1. November in front of cemeterys. It doesnt even have a name its just random strange lollipops for us but i often ate it as a kid XD

    I have noticed that when other people make this they either use a chopstick or a knife to pull the candy out of the side of the pan but this man is using a screwdriver. I honestly respect this man cause of how hardworking he is.
