Taiwanese Handmade Candy 

Can we just appreciate that he’s working in that age. God bless these people

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.

what the old man is doing is called candy pulling, i used to work at a restaurant wich made its own candy, its really REALLY heavy to pull the candy, major respect to this man!

-title is not clickbait -video is straight to the point -good editing with no flashy effects or overly annoying music with terrible loops -great camera angles with no obstructions 10/10 video

This person is wearing back supporting belt and he is still making traditional candy. Massive props to him omg

Can we just respect that this man is 70 years old and still working for their family?

This is so much more satisfying than those “try not to be satisfied” challenges with the crappy overused music

I’ve tried stretching those candies, and even though they look silky and stretchy, it’s ROCK SOLID, feels like a really strong rubber band.

He is wearing back pain belt and he is doing that work from 70 years Hatts off to you grand father. Hard working. God bless you both with showers of blessings....

Am I the only one who noticed he is making candy in open toed sandals? That's a level of confidence I don't possess.

He deserves so much respect. I hope his candy is selling well because he works so hard and deserves it.

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.

me: turns on english subtitles so i can understand subtitles: *[taiwanese chitchat]*

The candy pulling is what I imagined rapunzel's hair to look like in real life lol

I love how hes so confident that the candy wont touch the floor when he was stretching it onto the light brown stick

You always hear about the color change after pulling, but this is by far the most significant and satisfying video to watch candy being pulled. Each pull adds a little extra air and really does make that color brighter and lighter. Crazy.

It was probably over boiling point when he touched it. Fingers of steel.

I hope you guys realize how impressive it is that he isn’t wearing gloves while stretching the candy. That stuff is HOT especially the part where it was still in the pan and he was trying to get it unstuck that candy is as hot as if it were boiling and thats why you usually see candy makers nowadays wearing gloves while stretching candy like this. And this old man was using bare hands Hope his business continues to do well

He is wearing a back supporting belt he's working hard

The way he cooled it down by spinning it in the water tank blew my mind. Simple, inexpensive and quick. Very innovative.

I appreciate hearing the sounds the young lady makes when her appreciates something she enjoys.

Whoever dares to mess with this man is dead meat. His arms mustve been rly trained because this shit dont look easy at all.

My Brain: "Eat it" Me: "But it's still not fini-" My Brain: "EAT IT"

I live in Taiwan. I used to eat it when I was a kid. It’s sweet. Sadly, there are fewer than ten masters of making 白糖蔥 left in Taiwan. The skill is gradually lost. Ohhh I miss the taste of it a lot. (´･_･`)

can we just appreciate the fact he is so old and yet he is doing this and not to mention he touched the still very hot candy with his bare hands this guy is a legend

He just touched hot taffy with his bare hands, *respect*

You know you’ve gone pro when your working with boiling sugar in sandals.

I appreciate this man sooo much , his hard work deserves all this , I hope his business is going well , I would sure buy a lot if we’re in Taiwan

Grandma: *spends money buying cooking tools* Grandpa: *screwdriver*

Chefs use spatulas, legends use screwdrivers

Everyone has an opinion and everybody should respect each other's. But why would this fascinating video have more than 2000 dislikes is beyond me

When he started to stretch them, it almost looks like Rapunzel's golden hair...So pretty

never mess with a man that makes boiling liquid candy in sandals

video: have some taiwanese talking me: want to know what they said turn on subtitles* subtitles: taiwanese chit chat* me: ._.?

this man is literally DANCING with the candy I love this guy so much

“白糖蔥“ means "white suger scallion" in Taiwanese. Master of this skill is less than 10 people now, even in Taiwan, the handmade version of this candy is really rare, so when you come to Taiwan someday, you definitely need to try some, it's really good.

That childish happiness when she ate it .. damn I felt it 😂😂😂

I like the happy exprecion of that girl after eating a cheap and simple candy, it is amazing how something so simple can bring so much joy

I can already hear it coming...... This is YOUR Daily dose of internet

The fact that giant container of candy only equates to 5 USD is wild. For the time and effort they put into their work, especially with their age, I honestly think they should be charging a bit more!

If it's made by a old asian person, i mean, it HAS to be good

it's very touching that he's still continuing to do his job even though he's old. god bless him 💗

Who else kept panicking every time it was about to touch the floor

It called “sugar green onion “ ,cause it looks like white part of green onion.

When he was stretching the candy, it looked like he was combing Rapunzel's hair

This is quite different from the other pulled candies I've seen. Those are solid hard candies while this is hollow with a meringue-like texture. This looks so much better! 🤤

😌Watching elderly Masters do their craft makes me have a revelation of respect for them because they've been doing it for so many years in order to survive. with such hard work and labor on their hands it makes you realize how privileged we are today. Aside from the Serious pep talk I would like some candy please I haven't had sweets in days send help!!🤤😣

You know the candy is good when it requires a screwdriver to make

OMG HER SMILE IS PURE AND PROPS TO THE GUY I AM HAVING ONE OF THE BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE IN A LONG TIME

The way he made is absolutely amazing. Skills are unique!

Is it just me or streching the candy is so satisfying

some quality content in corona times!

Me: turns on captions because I want to know what they are saying Captions: (Taiwanese chit chat)

Can you believe this was hand made and gives you a lot for 5 USD!? Like holy in the USA you get a little bit for 10 dollars.... impressive my respect to this man

It’s called “scallion candy” in Mandarin cuz it looks much like the white part of scallions. Crunchy and not so sweet as normal candy, love it with peanut powder on it

Daaaamn that candy looks softer and more beautiful than my hair 6:00

3:26 I... really understood that. Thanks captions.

This shop deserves more people to come

Me: What do you cook with? Him: I cook with a screw driver

If anyone's curious why the candy turned white, the act of folding doubles the amount of air bubbles in it every time.

練れば練るほどどんどん光を帯出して めっちゃ綺麗になっていってる…！

I love the look on the girl at the end when she takes a bite of the candy! She looks so happy!

You can actually see where the floor has worn down over years of him pulling the candy. Crazy

這家的白糖蔥好吃，我幾乎每次去淡水老街，都會買長條和塊狀的各一包，不過個人比較喜歡塊狀的，吃起來口感酥脆，而且還有焦糖的香氣

なんかいいねー こうやっておっちゃんが一所懸命作ってくれてるって

My man is making candy with a screwdriver. Pure dad energy.

That person's smile when they tried it was so genuine and made me so happy just to see. Clearly very good candy and a very satisfied customer!

The lady's giggle at the end tells us that happiness that we get while chewing candies is the same at any age

沒想到能在youtube看到糖蔥的製作，這也算是古老技藝的一種了，如果沒有影片，很有可能會失傳，感謝作者

Man, this COUNTRY sure has some skilled PEOPLE.

And while your eating this candy you say, “This candy seems simple”

I swear the best part of your videos is the person at the end trying what ever is made. What an adorable person!!❤️

"hello everyone this is your daily dose of internet"

Taiwan No.1! I love you're candymaking, it makes me fall into it. It makes me forget all my concerns and heals me ^w^

10:17 holy shit, i didnt notice the knife at 1st and thought he was snapping it perfectly with a touch of his finger

Imagine a single fly comes in and ruins everything....... I would be PISSED

Dude didn't even need a thermometer to know if the caramel was ready. All he needed was a spinning wok, screwdriver and a couple of dowel. A true master indeed.

that candy looks so golden when he is mixing and stretching

3:07 Me trying to flip an omelette

In india, there was a guy like him who used to sell this exact same candy. When I used to return home from school I used to buy it for me and my brother. Lets appreciate people like them who make our childhood happy.

In my country ( Ecuador) use the same technique to do this type of candy with the diference that use the hands and the stick that is used to pull the candy is in the wall. A and it's called "Melcocha" here

I'd love to visit the country of Taiwan some day and try this myself

5:46 That looks like pure gold. Edit, 29.10.2020 : Tysm guys, I didn’t think these likes would be a lot!

Can’t imagine all the bacteria it picks up when it touches a surface

알수없는 알고리즘에 끌려온 한국인손 ✋

This candy is actually super delicious I’ve eaten it a lot of times XD

This freakin old man is so expert in this candy he deserves to have the world record. And oddly satisfying content bro.

70yrs old and still hard working. May god bless you grandpa 🌸

This man is handling hot caramel with his bare hands and all the confidence in the world as if it were the easiest thing. He has massive balls.

The way that woman operated that razor was so stressful but so great.

黄金色から白金色に変わっていく過程がめちゃくちゃ綺麗 すっげー伸びるのね…って見てたらおじいさんがどんどん離れて行くからびっくりして笑ってしまった いつか食べてみたいし作ってる姿を実際に見てみたい

How Does That Old man do it when I cannot even pull my Gummy bear apart

In my opinion,the whole stick is way more interesting to eat then cutting it.

I feel like that grandpa is really liking making those sweets, I can see him kinda dancing while he stretches the candy 😂

God can you imagine how bad that hurts if it gets on you, I've only got a little bit of liquid sugar on my finger and it felt like a drop of lava still have a little scar

こういう飴は絶対素朴な懐かしい味で美味い

4 years old girl: *is this how we make slime??*

I love her smile and cute little giggle after tasting hehehehe❤

Imagine how many times the candy touched the floor in this guy's lifetime. Aside from the jokes, much respect, this is some hard work.
