Another human being spent their own time and money on a thing they enjoy, but I don’t enjoy that thing? And they dared to share it on the internet, at no cost to me and where I have free choice to not engage with it? What an outrage!

Bon Apetit magazine, and apparently this is the kick ass job their Senior Editor enjoys every day.
Having watched almost every episode of the world’s greatest television series EVER, “How It’s Made”, I can say with certainty that Skittles start via a normal taffy process and are fed through an extrusion machine where they get chopped into “blanks” which then get pressed in metal molds to the basic shape, allowed to cool, and then stored in large bins until the next stage.
In batches, each color/flavor is tossed into a candy “pan” where fine sugar and the liquid color and flavor agents are added and the candy tosses for several hours to build up the shell. Then they toss in a cup of powdered carnauba wax and tossed for several more hours til the shell is shiny. Then each piece is send down a high speed conveyor where an inkjet printer sprays on the final S in titanium dioxide dye.

Off topic: For the life of me I can’t explain why I like the look of the “one lock of grey/white hair on a dark-haired person” so much (on both male and female, too.)

You are tracking my youtube account. First the pottery, now this!
I swear I have been watching all her videos since last week.
Now I have graduated to cake decorating (with fondant which I detest) - and different piping tips (mesmerizing russian piping tips details FTW)
