@@mrsmoothspaz8631 Read one of her comments, she went back on her statement and said roughly "Well even if it could cutting only makes up 5 minutes of our day so a machine wouldn't be worth it"
Yes we definitely can. We did it on plastics and other materials on higher temperatures through 'instrumentations and controls'. HOWEVER, you will lose your unique advantage through customer involvement and visual entertainment aspect from processing. it might be an important marketing tool in that area. you will just end up like any other industrial candy factory.
I think the charm of hand chopping is how imperfect the candies come out. The pieces are all slightly different sizes and shapes. Normally, this is not a good thing, but it does give it a more homemade look and feel, as opposed to a factory produced commercial candy. If a machine did it, it would probably be designed to do it make perfectly uniform pieces.
Or you could just add a maximum and minimum randomizer to randomize intervals of chopping to make the illusion of randomness.. We live in a world of lies, there is no babies crying over mass produced candy.
@@Avrelianvs Nah, why would you do that. If something handmade has imperfections, that's a good thing. If something machine-made has imperfections, it's just bad.
I'm pretty sure she's saying "There's no way around it" in reference to the available options at THIS candy shop. She's saying that their crimping machine will never replace hand-chopping because it would hide the pattern inside the candies. Not that an automated chopping machine could never be invented. I feel like all these comments are thinking she's dumb or "in denial" that a machine could do her work, and that's not how I'm interpreting it at all.
Plus they chop by hand in front of people and engage with folks. This is part of their personal touch and connection with the customers. It's a great marketing strategy 😊
@@jenninemorel7693besides I’m sure many people would actually prefer and imperfections made by a human hand (like me) because, at least in my opinion, things like that give certain things their charm.
You mean she summoned every anonymous child that lives on youtube shorts pretending to be an engineer based on knowledge they learned from other chronic youtuber commenters pretending to be something their not. Just saying, funny how a channel mostly watched by children about candy suddenly is filled with "engineers" the second the most basic mistake is made that could be corrected by litterally any child that has graduated highschool. You don't have to be an engineer to understand that machinces can do automated tasks, it just boosts these pretender childrens ego when they think delusionally "im basically an engineer with the knowledge that i have"
@@elainasynranelt I have somehow mixed two comments up here. My comment was not directed at the design of the final product, but at the cutting of the product. And the cutting mechanism would definitely be under 1000 $, more like 500 $ plus... There would be several possibilities for "feeding" the cutting mechanism. The simplest and cheapest would be a mixture of gravity, rollers and a spacer. Depending on who assembles it, it should be somewhere between $1,500 and $2,500. But yes, a machine that creates the right design before cutting would be significantly more expensive. At least if you want to minimise human help in the process.

Hell, you could probably get away with stripping down a 4 stroke engine, attaching a blade to the piston and connecting the camshaft to an electric motor. Not the cleanest solution but just showing it works be pretty straightforward with off the shelf parts.
@@youssefbencheikh8637 how about you sign out of your account and don't come back to RU-vid for another five more years because it's obvious that you are not all there kiddo.
i love how imperfect the handcut ones are. just because a machine can replace something doesn't mean it should be replaced. imperfect candies have their charm :)
What some ppl in these comments dont realise is, in its own way, candy making is an artform, and everyone's gonna be different when it comes to making that art. It's like if you started critiquing someone for drawing traditional art instead of going digital, imo at least. They're keeping a tradition alive, and if that's what they wanna do then that's what they're gonna do. Plus, it's fun watching them chop it. :]
@@ThompYT have you not been reading the several comments of engineers missing the damn point? I'm not trying to start an argument here, but *several* people are, in fact, saying otherwise.
damn why are there so many engineers in these comments like “I am offended. You are replaceable.” y’all. believe it or not, just because you can theoretically make a machine for it doesn’t mean that the machine is practical or desirable.
As an engineer, my first instinct was, what, of course there is a way to make a machine chop the lollies without crimping the ends. I even had a very rough sketch in my head for how such a machine could be designed, before my human side took over, and I realised that she didn't mean it like that :P Yeah, many of us engineers are grumpy nerds with low social skills, but some are simply just poking fun at this :P
Enjoy this? We have way more content than these VERY short shorts, Livestreams, candy explainers and compilations can all be found on our main channel: stickysydney!
The machine seems to be meant for crimped candy instead of chopped candy, maybe there are other machines that can chop them in the same way people do it by hand.
Guaranteed she also is aware that making a machine with a chopping motion is possible lol she was saying its not possible with the equipment they have. Like they cant make pictured pillow-candies because the photo would be messed up.
You're glad to be a pedantic ret ard that deliberately misinterprets someones words so you can act like your common knowledge is special or somehow makes you above average intelligence? Oh, i forgot, its 2023. You kids that are being raised on the interner think it's a source of pride to not be a normal functioning human in the real world.
I am a mechanical engineer and there are SO many ways around chopping by hand! You would just need to decide what is quicker and more efficient. Having a machine that doesn't crimp would be something to invest in so your candy is straighter and more even with each piece.
@A K What is the point of talk about this Kind of machine if it is not nearly needed. It's like pointing out the price of a brand new sports car when a simple bicycle would do. Okay, your point. I was only thinking of the cutting function, which would cost $500 max. The rest... Could be done cheaply and quickly with gravity, and would definitely stay under $1000. But with a bit of ingenuity and few hundred dollars, a mechanical or pneumatic solution would also be possible. If you know someone probably around 700-800$ for the Gravity solution 1.000-1.500$ for a mechanic/pneumatic If you don't know someone probably around 1.000$ for the Gravity solution 2.000 - 2.500$ for the other solution
@A K #1 all it's money? Your idea certainly would be bad for their finances, but in my variant it makes relatively little difference for the finances #2 spending because of angry RU-vid comments? No one is angry and no one is demanding anything from the shop, 99% of the comments just point out that the statement was wrong or at least badly chosen. No idea where you got the "angry" from.... They are just normal comments.
Now just hear me out, we make a machine… that slices… up and down. Incredible. Edit: We have put people on the moon. We have researched the inconceivably small and large, and have searched for alien life. We have advanced medicine, architecture, and technology. I don’t care how supposedly complex this chopping movement is, I think the human race can handle a candy chopper 💀
@@gleamingfoonyman to get the design as close as possible of the candy that has been chopped by hand, then the machine will have to mimic the chopping process. It will have to chop downwards. I guess you could feed the candy to the blade with motorized rollers.
@@SloppyPloppyJingoShingo A rotary blade only chops in one direction lol Think of a fan or propeller. If you stick your finger into it, the blades only hit one side of your finger. A spinning blade would be much faster than a blade that moves down to slice, then has to be raised to reset the action. That’s also why the machine they already have it rotary. The wheels have spokes that pinch the candy at even increments.
While I’m sure it could be done, it’s still probably cheaper to go by hand. 1 lawsuit from a faulty machine cutting off a workers hand and there goes your business. Worked around enough automation to know that robots make mistakes, and they could Easily be lethal
Putting that knife thingy on a pneumatic cylinder would absolutely emulate the impact they do to cutting it by hand, maybe even a quick return mechanism would do the trick for cheaper
someone likely has but its prolly way less cost effective to buy a machine like that and have someone there to operate it instead of just having someone there to cut the candy by themselves
@@juwebles4352 the long term investment of not needing to pay the workers who chop it would definitely outweigh the cost of a machine that literally doesn’t need to do anything but move a blade up and down relatively fast.
@@juwebles4352 if they switch to machines they’d need 2 workers max at all times but honestly could run fine with just 1. It’s definitely way more cost effective to run a machine but since it s a business you gotta put into consideration the customers you’d lose since nobody is gonna be amazed by metal blades and big ass machinery doing the job. In conclusion you guys are both right and wrong
@@angelarias3395 I sincerely doubt anyone is wowed by someone moving their wrist up and down either. The machine wouldn't be more cost effective since you'd have to purchase the machine, pay for its regular upkeep, and pay someone to operate it, even if you produced 10x the candy with it that isn't gonna translate to 10x more sales
Every engineer took a sigh of relief when they heard her say no way around it - as they were already a sentence into telling us they're an engineer now, they just don't have to make up a reason to.
@@despres380 ‘if you want this design, you have to chop it by hand there’s really no way around it’ she phrased it completely like no such machine exists lol she may have meant what you said by it didn’t come out that wau
I love the chopping by hand gives it that complete human touch and craftsmanship cause all the pieces are different sizes and not uniform. I know I could make a chopping machine that will not crimp the ends but why when it's more fun doing it by hand
It’s really weird as an American hearing other countries saying “Lolly” to refer to a massive variety of hard candy. In America “Lolly” almost always refers to suckers (lollipops) or, depending where you’re from, *exclusively* refers to a very specific type of sucker created by coiling a candy rope into a flat disk.
This comment section is throwing me for a loop, dear lord. Ya'll need to chill-if they wanted a machine, they'd invest in one. The creator has acknowledged in other comments that doing the chopping by hand is part of the fun-which I'm inclined to believe. It's also part of the art form in a way as this isn’t a large company, but a small business that prides itself for being homemade. The fact that some of you are practically worshiping automation is alarming. No, not everything has to be automated just because it can because that's how we get things like AI art and whatnot. Obviously, this isn’t anything like that, but you get my point, its the same mindset of "We must make a machine do this task that can easily be accomplished by humans." However, the simple act of chopping is: a) Good for providing humans jobs b) Good on a business standpoint since a big seller is that they claim to be handmade; which customers are naturally attracted to. Just look at how any commercial (lets say for chicken eggs) will make it quick to claim that they are "organic" or "farm raised chickens". It is a big selling point, therefore good for business. Anything that seems more "personal" and less automated just naturally speaks to people. It feels special. c) Even after up-front costs, machinery can still be expensive! If it malfunctions or breaks well SOMEONE has to come in and repair it. Then they'll be dishing out yet even more upfront money to repair it. Wether you are an engineer (good for you) or not-can't we just all agree that yes, the way in which the sentence was worded is misleading and wether or not you believe what she said was to be taken at face value; that this isn’t something to get up in arms for? I mean, how many of you IMMEDIATELY saw this and went "Well i can make/think of a chopping machine" and felt the need to "school" this creator about it and then made the conscious decision to write a comment? Some of you have good intentions, others are definitely ego feeding, or trolls-I dunno. The point is, just keep it to yourself-it's really not worth this man vs machine debate because it's irrelevant to this situation. The business will operate the way the owners want it to, no amount of arguments or reasonings will change that because machinery is obviously out of the question for them and that is perfectly justified. End of discussion. Another nitpick irrelevant to this rant: I saw several peolple say "They won't use machines because if they do it by hand they can charge more for the candy 🤓." Yes, thank you for that insight, but the simple solution would be ✨️not buy the candy. What a crazy concept, right? In all seriousness, being a small business and making a breakthrough in the market is HUGE especially for something as marketable as CUSTOM CANDIES. I would like to see some of you smug people try to operate a business like a multi-billion dollar company would from your garage. Lemme know how that goes 👋
@@bradyhem or you gift it to people. A cute handmade candy wrapped in a transparent plastic or box would be a decent house gift. Mass produced candies (that got opaque plastic with ordinary brand on it) wouldn't work tho in case anyone is wondering.
@@bayabooz4855 i mean yeah you could eat it but tbh rock candy doesn't even taste that good, it just tastes like pure sugar with barely any flavouring. It's cool to look at though.
@@RiceTrees I didn't say it'd be worth doing. But there is definitely a way around it. I could definitely build something myself for under $1000 though. An electric motor, a power supply, switch, few bits of hardware and you'd have something.
You could just make a machine that constantly chops going up and down when you’re finished making the candy and then you can just put it through that machine❤❤
“There is no way around it.” Ma’am, that line of candy is moving at a constant speed with a constant rhythm of chopping. That is the easiest thing for a machine to replicate lol
It would be incredibly easy to design a machine that replicates hand chopping, I don't know if it would be quicker given the skill in this video but it would be less labour intensive.
@@Dudeinator Moving too quickly would exceed the tolerances of the parts and may cause other problems but sure, it could go faster if no heed is paid to other factors.
oh im sure. why dont you tell me about some of these machines. you must be very well versed in the world of handmade candy and machinery to have thought of at LEAST 2 machines that can cut candy like that.
@@whereamihelpme Not in the world of handmade candy, but I daresay I’m pretty experienced in engineering having worked in it for over a decade. And yeah, @martingamer sums up most of the concepts pretty well. It’s been done before on many other things, the crimping issues they describe can be easily fixed.
@@Orbwn2 a decade of engineering and you're not gonna advance any further than that? Just gonna take a sentence from someone else lmao. Good use of a decade.
she means that theres no way around it with the equipment they have at work lol like they cant thread the pictured candies through the machine because the pictures will be lost
"No way around it" but u could literally just have a machine that u adjust the time of the "guillotine" to change the side and it just goes straight down and the stick of candy goes down into the blade. I'm surprised this isn't there yet. There is a lot of machinery like that in factories but at handmade candy stores they only ever have the other machine thst crimps
Yeah the problem is is that worth the cost? Machine makers also would need to get new equipment and it’s such a niche machine that it costs way too much for a candy maker
Undergraduate ECE engineer here, though the machine you guys are drawing up seems to be more mechatronics and mechanical focused. I am confident that it would not only be easy to make, but would make better cuts and nicer looking candy.
we have a candy shop that makes these kinds of candies in my hometown, and like. part of the appeal is they are hand chopped and handmade. it’s a feat of human creativity to make them. that’s the whole darn point. people saying “lmao we can obviously make a machine that does that” are MISSING THE POINT. not everything can or should be automated lmao
They're not missing the point. The lady clearly said they HAVE to do it by hand because there is NO way around it and thats not true. They don't have to do it by hand and there are alternatives. If she simply said they don't want to use a machine because they prefer doing it by hand that's different.
@@fpsoftdev wow you're so smart. I never considered the fact the machine could produce candy quicker and in larger amounts causing the candy to be sold more resulting in a profit. Workers would alsobe able to work less hours with the machine so they'd get paid less as well. It's called investing and I don't think the machine would cost as much as you're thinking.
So apparently it grandmother used to have candies like that when I was little. I never really understood the designs in them, or how they got there. It’s been a few years since she passed away now. And we apparently found the same candy (new though, not from that long ago) for Christmas. Really brought back memories.
a machine probably could cut it without crimping, but in all honesty cutting by hand is something you should keep, you could even charge a little more. but customers seeing you guys make and prepare the different candies by hand is something they can't get anywhere else and is priceless
Idk why everyone is roasting her so hard. Chopping it by hand is part of the charm of their candy brand and buying a new chopping machine would potentially be very expensive. People go to their shop in person specifically to see them make it by hand so it is a good business decision to continue doing it this way
@@xrphoenix7194for them* literally she says for them theres no way around it , it wouldn’t be significantly faster FOR THEM , everyone is so pissed about a damn cutter .
@@Gummybearkillerr nope she doesn't say that. She says there's no way around it. And not only is it impossible for a human hand to cut faster than a machine designed to cut faster, she never even mentioned speed. You made that up

Once you get the rythem and amount of force you need to used right, you're golden. It took me a few days of doing it, but once I had the rythem method down I had no trouble at all, even when my uncle would cut the canes too long trying to trip me up. It's hard to explain, but it's just one of those things you need to experience for yourself before you can understand how it works.
I love your candy I ordered a bunch of bags. I totally recommend the rainbow pillows and the watermelon plus kiwi on my favorites totally recommend them 10 out of 10 or five out of five.

There are a few things you may have missed or not seen that I remember for Markiplier's old playthrough, albiet I am unsure how many are part of the version you played as he used the Special Edition. The notes folder should have notes appearing somewhere around the end of the forest, where you can enter and exit an empty room to find a human soul hiding in there, who has his soul data corrupted by your actions and then the game crashes. The game "Lost" is an actual multiplayer game, completing it would give a code to unlock a door in The Finale for a secret The "Real" ending changes in the Special Edition, with Nightmare getting slowly Sorting Algorithm Crushed and then wiped away. This also seems to prevent the Nightmare Ending from happening; but I'm not 100% sure of that. There is a chance for a reference to "My Place" to appear when booting up the game.
The song in the background is minuet by boccherini. I learnt this on violin for a school district competition, was very tough. Lmao epic candy vid btw.
