Chocolate | British Pathé 

So... many... puns....

'The chocolates single women receive and married women can only dream of' - love it!

"Even if you don't like cats, you wish this one would have nine lives" 😅

I have a new found love for old British programs, such as these.

“While the girl at your side melts into your arms” brilliant writing.

4:26 NOOOOO!!! THET POOR CHERRY!!!! ;( Rest In Peace falling cherry

this was truly fascinating to watch

My takeaway: starch is way more important than I thought.

No matter how these chocolate treats are made, I will never be deterred from eating these little beauties.

I can watch this all day! this is so therapeutic!

Thank you for sharing this INVALUABLE archive. The day to day history of our cultures is worth the time your production, camera, and editing personnel put in over so many decades. DELIGHTED to have discovered your RU-vid channel!

Hercules candy in Syracuse New York still does it this way. Check out their RU-vid channel!!

..and now a tummy ache of a lifetime !

Just so marvelous to see life in action from times bygone. Thank you for taking this viewing back, away from a world that seems to have lost is way.

I don't even understand why, but for some reason this theme of the month has been REALLY interesting for me. Something about these is just so fascinating to watch. So thank you! :)

When starting University in the early to mid 1970s, & during break times & holiday times i always worked for a company that made cartons for various food & beverage companies. As my holiday work was in the Labs testing the board & inks used in the manufacture & printing of packs, cartons & boxes. Often there would be runs for exclusive chocolate manufacturers & the boxes we produced were fabulous to see! Some like jewelled treasure chests, some tall ones with 3 or 4 Drawers, with tiny silk tassles on the front to pull open the drawers to reveal each layer of fine chocolates. There was also a wonderful Castle box in which the rooftops with turrets & archway shapes were the lids of the chocolates in the castle rooms below. We produced a beautiful Wardrobe or Tallboy with inset mirror pvc & decorated in the French Versailles style ( my absolute favourite box & one of the boxes i was allowed to keep) Some boxes looked like a framed Old Master painting, but upon lifting it up, it was the lid of the chocolate box. Then there were the traditional boxes in beautiful colours & designs adorned with huge satin ribbons, little gold trinkets, silk flowers, pastel tissue leaves within & heavy embossed metallic Thick card protectors So very decadent! Not that my Company made the chocolates, mores the pity, but our luxury boxes were sent to specialised Chocolatieres in London like Charbonnel et Walkers or handmade chocolate companies in York, Edinburgh, Bristol even to Europe! & even in the 1970s these wonderful boxes held exquisite chocolates ( some destined for Royalty !!) And they cost from 10 guineas per box, upto 50 guineas... Thats alot to pay in todays money but the really expensive ones held alot of fabulous confectionary & the boxes were works of art! I was everso lucky as i also used to change & decorate our big display cabinets in our companies showroom & as some of the unique styles & amazing boxes became a little dusty or faded, i was allowed to keep some. I was very fortunate as they couldnt be bought, only with ths chocs inside, also how really strongly they were constructed & decorated, so beautiful! I still have a couple now, they have lasted well as jewellery boxes I always remember helping a valued customer ( Chocolatier) with a problem & a few days later & just before i left, at that time, to resume my university studies. The customer sent me a small box of his exclusive Pink Champagne Truffles ( only sold in Harrods!) As a Thank You! I was thrilled! The Truffles were huge & putting just one in your mouth totally filled it right up! I had to cut each one in quarters Very rich & marvellous taste & amazing & exotic ingredients too! Sorry its a long comment but just seeing this today took me right back to 50yrs ago like it was yesterday! Thank you for these Pathe newsreels! They also fill me with dear memories too. Regards 🇬🇧👧

Omg, I want some of these genuine hand-made chocolates.

It’s crazy how we sound so different from back then anyone thought of that

Imagine a modern local bakery or chocolate shop having this many employees!

Drool everywhere, covering my keyboard now! This was a yummy video.

This is so great, our children today need to find a place they can do things like that, thank you

Really loved seeing the craftsmanship involved in making those handmade chocolates.

That was as enjoyable to watch as the Sunblest bread one from 1962 which I watched just before this one. Ooooh, yummm, that huge box of chocolates all hand made looked scrumptious.

"When a girl's tired of fondant, she's not necessarily tired of life"

I love this style of video

This is such a wholesome and cute video! I love watching this!

As soon as they started dipping the chocolate, I immediately laughed thinking of the episode of "I Love Lucy" 💗😊

Oh, that was glorious! I especially loved 9:13, when the sweet ration ended! More please! More! I want more!!!!

had to go grab me some chocolate. if I didn't have any here, I would've definitely went to the store! lol. yum!!!

its perfect so delicious vintage chocolate

Thank you at British pathe for giving us these treats!

Now I feel like I've visited Willie Wonka's Chocolate Factory. These film clips are also appropriate for February. I'm in the mood for Valentine's Day!

To this day, handmade chocolate is a delicacy. Of course, there are affordable brands. But there are also very expensive ones. Cocoa is still loved and appreciated that much.

These have been showing up frequently in my recommended, they are very interesting!

The boxes gets smaller and prices bigger

the commentary is absolutely superb

I found clip 3:28 very helpful since I am making some very rare liquor chocolates and I indeed needed to see how it was done, a tuddy that trickles round your tongue.

Man… color is an amazing thing

I'm craving chocolate now :P and woah at all the intricate details that goes into making chocolate

Absolutely scrumptious delicious mmmmm to go back in those days and have a box of these real chocolates. 😍😜😀🤩😛

Make sure the thumbnail has enough contrast so people don't accidentally assume they've already seen the video when browsing the subscription box; as I find it to be mimicking the effect youtube prescribe videos which you've already seen.

colour definitely makes things more appetizing

These last two videos have been fantastic. Thank you!

The only thing more satisfying than the chocolate making is the narrator's puns.

Minha bisavó diz que antigamente os chocolates tinham gosto de chocolate, não é que nem hoje que só tem gosto de sebo. kkk... Agora entendi o porquê, tudo era feito manualmente.

The amount of dad quips is melting me

I would have been 4 in 1965, I’d love a time machine to go back then, just to walk round for a few hours to take in the smells and atmosphere. I’d need my mobile phone to film it and take pictures 😂

9:45 Was that slugworth from willy wonka? 😂

I really wish I could find the music pieces they used for these old programs

These videos always make me smile!

It's really enjoyable to watch these :D thank you for sharing these gems of the past.

Brilliant, thoroughly enjoyed this :D

Binge watching your videos, they are awesome. Thank you.

Now I need some with a cup of coffee and tamales

I am utterly captivated by the look of the 60s! The styles, everyone decked out in their best, pressed and polished. I wish I could have seen it in person.

Such great videos. Thank you guys for continuing to make such mesmerizing content.

WOW!!!! Those look delicious and those methods are amazing. Those people were dedicated and detailed.

I so enjoy watching.

Just love this channel ❤️

I wonder how much a completely hand made box of chocolates would cost today? Probably as much as my car.

This is absolutely nothing I thought I'd find myself watching but here I am at 1 am. Also the voice over has such gusto but what dos his accent keep slipping into....if anything made it even better. cheers RU-vid

Hard to believe that so recently chocolates were still being made by hand. No wonder they were expensive.

the past never forget

love that chocolate!!

Guy was churning out all the pub jokes. Lol

mouthwatering ! I love it !

Por isso os chocolates da época era mais gostosos eram feitos manualmente agora tudo feito por máquinas

I love these videos!

someone pass this through that colorizer AI and the 60fps AI. That would be AWESOME

Woahhh one by one that’s insane so perfect 😍😍

The guy is a poet

These videos are so bad ass.

Don't expected to being barraged by puns XD Amazing vids! :)

谢谢分享！近百年来巧克力的制造工艺近乎没有太大变化。

The 3rd clip from the 1930's is the Fry's factory in Bristol, closed now obviously, it was closed in 2011 after Cadbury had bought Fry's. It looks like they are making Fry's Chocolate Cream.

So much good classic artistry there showing, seeing the cathedral of cocoa beans remined me of the Aztecs use of them as currency , and of the wonderful agriculture of milk, honey, eggs that support the world.

Not a pair of gloves in sight ...... and we all survived .

That's one thing you didn't see in history classes post war. No more rationing would be exciting for sure.

It is my Love!

It's amazing !

Love it!

I came here after watching the chocolate factory episode of I Love Lucy!

Muy interesante el proceso de elaboración de los bombones

the puns!!

Anyone remember the chocolate sorting job in "I love lucy"?

Interesting skills

Estou simplesmente apaixonada ❤❤❤.obg por compartilhar

My Father once brought back a square box of chocolate for me years ago. They were thin sheets of milk chocolate and I think it was Swiss, but I don't remember. They were very thin with parchment between each layer and snapped when I broke them into pieces. It was the absolute greatest chocolate I've ever had. Nothing else has come close, it's a long shot, but does anyone have any idea where I might find a similar chocolate? I feel an obsession coming on, 😊

Just imagining Lucy and Ethel hard at work!

thinking that all of that chocolate is now expired makes me loose my apperite

Am watching at 12.15am on 13 January 2021 😁🇬🇧

Wow!

So gorgeous

great, now I'm salivating.

Yummy

Yes I remember those solid liquorice pipes with red aniseed on top. Kids now vape...

Those first 2 guys talk like real cool cats

5:34 in this video makes me consernd about the sweets that are made

wow

*Yummy* :)
