In this video we make bubbly Champagne drops that feel like carbonated Champagne in your mouth, and we wonder about why Champagne is used to christen ships.

Greg is like Willy Wonka, minus the weirdo part

[@soleneisconbi7302]

Tami Otani that’s the best part though.

[@randomuser4282]

Tami Otani and minus the chocolate part

[@Crow_Smith]

I think more minus the chocolate part, I think -in the best way- Greg is a weirdo, and that's exactly where the charm hits us.

And the magic😭

[@CatandRaven]

As someone who makes bath products, whenever you put the citric acid and sodium bicarb, I can’t help but giggle “it’s a bath bomb for your mouth!” So funny how much crossover there is between food and bath products!

[@josievathplans5239]

This is always so satisfying to watch. We’re over in Pensacola and intend to visit someday. Thanks for posting!

[@sink899]

Lucky you. Shame there's an ocean in the way for me

[@javasparkles7330]

Do it! I live in St Louis and I'm sorely tempted to make a very specific trip. I've been there before and it's so fun.

[@r1w3d]

My fiance and I took a trip from Jacksonville to Tallahassee just to visit the place and it was totally worth it. I highly recommend having breakfast or lunch there also because they use a lot of local things and it is very delicious 👍

[@bluenatas]

I’m from Florida and yeah only reason to come here except Disney world

[@bluenatas]

Good ice cream tooo

[@aclamkhidda]

You’ve managed to merge my two favorite things in this world, candy and history! ❤️

[@LoftyPursuits]

Check out our other videos too. Lots more like that.

[@XCATX25]

The roll rotating and the shot of being cut, and then put in the press...omfg it's so satisfying. I saw dozens and dozens of videos from Lofty Pursuits but wow this one shot was good

[@alright_ok5073]

I absolutely love how passionate you are about candy making! It’s very hard to find people like you these days. I also really love the history lessons with the candy making!

[@paveloleynikov4715]

Remembering making instant soda in childhood that way, getting it neutral was almost impossible, water had taste of citric acid or baking powder every time

[@ModernBladesmith]

this is where weighing your ingredients comes in handy.

[@arnaudmenard5114]

Also, when a base and an acid react, they neutralize and make salt.

[@ModernBladesmith]

@@arnaudmenard5114 this is also a good point.

[@jaxblonk5127]

In this case a certain acid bias wouldn't be too bad- though it would be nice if cream of tartar was added to do a bit of justice to the wine side of things. But then again, I'm no confectioner.

[@Zazzysylvester]

I love the shots where you drop the sheets and they break into the drops😄 if you would like to film more of it I wouldnt object! Same with the cutting of logs of candt

[@SollowP]

Maybe they could get the slow mo guys in for a special episode, so that they could film the drops breaking apart in slow motion?

[@kellyskaggs7987]

Love the history lessons with the candy making! You are a true treasure, Gregg! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!! Happy New Year!

[@juna.laguna]

Just added these to my cart and came to watch the video as I make my purchase. Been a big fan for years and I’m glad you’re going strong!!

[@blasfemmey]

I just bought some of these drops, and they are absolutely delicious! Watching these videos and knowing the candy is handmade makes you appreciate the flavor so much more. :)

[@mbm8404]

I’m a hard core fan now because of the education I get when watching these videos. I’m going to order some candy as well. Wish I could visit.

[@colesherrill7472]

Saw you making this is what made me place my first order. Been watching you guys for a while. Glad I snagged some black currant candy to. Keep up the good work.

[@gizanked]

Well that was a fun way to announce you've hit 500,000 subscribers.

[@OrigamiMarie]

Once upon a time, several years ago, I worked for Amazon while they were opening one of their early new buildings in their consolidated Seattle campus. They had a building opening ceremony, and they ordered a special bottle of champagne that had thin glass, to make it easier to break. They had delivery problems, somebody had placed the order to be delivered to one of the old buildings instead of one of the new ones. And then it came time to break the bottle on one of the new building's concrete pillars. A manager swung the bottle and it . . . bounced. Apparently they hadn't actually gotten a ceremonial bottle, they had a real one instead. Maybe it was a replacement for the mis-delivered bottle. The crowd laughed. He swung again, harder this time, and it broke with an exploding pop! I think the first swing had shaken up the bottle, releasing bubbles and increasing the internal pressure.

[@empress9554]

Thanks Kanye

[@sylviahacker6695]

One of the best channels on YT.

[@metalltitan]

I didn't know I needed this, before I saw it. Like most food videos, it's really satisfying to see something edible being made.

[@heatherdevore3476]

was just in your store this morning passing through on Christmas vacation, very cool to see and the candy tastes as good as it looks

[@LoftyPursuits]

Thank you.

[@EddVCR]

I really like the sphere shape you chose for the champagne candy. When you dropped the sheet and the candy exploded everywhere, they truly looked like champagne bubbles! 🥂

[@LoftyPursuits]

It seems to be the best shape for the carbonated flavors.

[@Aidan_Lawrence]

I visited a couple weeks back during your Christmas extravaganza. Your store is wonderful and your confections are stellar. It was very nice to have a chat with you, Greg. For any other new visitors, go for the egg creme and try some pickle candy if you're brave!

[@pancakebaby21]

I know this video is old but I go back and watch all of your videos because they are so calming. These look sooooo good! I would absolutely love to have a batch :)

[@empress9554]

Quite possible that this is tha best gd channel in YT ngl I get so friggen pumped for the candy every time your vids are in my recommended

[@gkliebenstein]

These are super tasty!! I was really curious about the carbonation, so I bought a bag on the PD website. It's a really nice sensation, and while my brain saw yellow and was expecting Lemonheads, the flavor is nice and kind of mellow. Keep up the great work !!!

[@larry-naylor]

I love the social history that Greg gives us with each video, it's so fascinating.

[@jett8193]

YUM! I LOVE "CHAMPAGNE" candy! Thanks for sharing this delicious video with us, Greg, & wishing you & yours, your staff & everyone else reading this, Happy Holidays! : )

I waited just until the end to see that drop, also the history you tell during these videos is amazing.=

Best way to watch one of these videos, is to do so, while enjoying a piece of the candy being made. steve

I agree

not too late, but it is seasonal so it will go away soon.

[@bruh8824]

I’ve never wanted candy more in my life

[@nihiles1098]

Greg, do you do anything with the dust left over from making drops. It seems like there's a decent amount and it might make good pixie sticks or something.

[@igga5428]

When I was a kid Salimon brand (Salt and lemon lime) made a candy that disolved that salimon salt lime for beer flavor on your tongue like alka seltzer it was amazingly nostalgic. They were pressed in a round pill shape and came two a pack this champagne candy reminded of that. Can you guys replicate that salimon experience?

[@cademancaden]

Please do a compilation of all your best sellers. Thank you :)

[@Ea-Nasir_Copper_Co]

They didn't break bottles over ships' prows until the glass bottle was invented. Wine came in wooden barrels in Henry VIII's time. Given how obscenely extravagant Henry was about everything else I don't think he cared about the cost of the wine.

[@NieroshaiTheSable]

I don't know the historicity, but wine was also stored in clay jugs or amphorae in ancient times, which of course shatter pretty easily.

[@thatonedemonic]

So I did actually order these and- I don't mean to be mean, and by all means this candy is the best candy I've ever had, BUT When I ordered the candy, I also ordered other some other candies. And for some reason, the candy is 1000x better if you didn't eat any other candies. Other than that, they are AMAZING! :)

[@ljjumble]

Have you tried mixing in tartaric acid with the citric acid?

[@wardogdauwdd3020]

Do you have any idea on where you think I could find one to buy or a way to make one

[@sara-qz3hw]

Wow. Sounds good.

[@Ratchet4647]

Why do you usually feed the candy into the drop machine in smaller chunks instead of a continuous even flow?
