We use to hang these on our tree, till our dog found out he could eat them. Needless to say that tradition stopped when we found the wrappers on the floor.
In the the 2000s i had a dvd player and i used to watch a video that's so similar to this but it had Christmas music and it used to show kids playing in snow, singing and eating candy canes. And now I'm trying to find it but until now this is the most similar.
All of this use to be hand done. American Candy in Selma Alabama, hand stripped and packed until about 2002 when it closed down after over 100 years in operation
A fun idea for a hot chocolate twist. Put whipped cream, marshmallows and a candy cane into hot chocolate, it is really nice (although it does melt the candy cane)
At 3:25 something could have gone wrong because a stick went out of place for a second and few seconds later they say one wrong move could foul up the entire process
I adore machinery 😍 thus I study mechanical engineering. The packaging part is still done by humans in many factories, I appreciate it's done by machines in this one :)
The origin story of candy canes presented here is unattested folklore, one of several circulating without attestation. Candy canes are only documented starting in the 1800s, and no record remains of why they are shaped like canes. See Snopes for more on this.
They were designed to look like a shepards staff, turn it upside down and it becomes a J which stands for Jesus. The white representing the purity of Christ, the red representing the blood, and the stripes represents the beating of Christ with many stripes. So the candy cane was made as a Christmas candy that will tell the whole Christmas story with one flavor which is originally the peppermint flavor.
