#81 Visiting Hercules Candy and making orange image candy.

[@Whole_Note]

And they said Infinity War was the most ambitious cross over event in history.

[@londonbrotherson263]

Indeed

[@JoeXTheXJuggalo1]

That's one reason why I love your channel Greg. You're not only just in business for yourself You travel all over sharing the love of candy with other candy makers and it shares the love of candy to us.

[@dumdumdumbest834]

Whoop whoop mcl

[@Candyman97]

I was a candy maker at Disneyland, and this is the way I was trained to handle corn syrup. It's like riding a bike. Once you learn, you never forget.

[@LoftyPursuits]

I've wanted to approach Disney about shooting a video making candy with them. Do you think theyd be up for something like that, or would that be non-disney?

[@JustNatax3]

I absolutely LOVE how two "competetors" come together and exchange knowledge and fun facts and just have a good time. Everyone does it different yet you share the same passion. Love it!!!

[@breadtoast1036]

only competitors for their online stores they live in different states so theyll have secured local market

[@dcijams]

PS these are the only two candy producing companies I watch on KZbin. Please keep up the good work and keep those videos coming.

[@Ashley__Rose]

Came here from Hercules channel. What a neat video! You seem so nice and know a lot of different info, a lot more scientific. How interesting to hear about marble and citric acid too.

[@elysabethpoodle6234]

I love Steve and Terry and its so good to see people in the same industry, rather than try and outstage, get along and teach each other what they know to keep an old tradition alive. Steve knows hard candy VERY well but does not know picture candy and it was wonderful to see him humble enough to take direction from another candy maker. Very classy. As a matter of fact very classy to all involved.

[@orange_idol]

This is literally one of the most wholesome and great-feeling videos I've ever seen. I just found this channel and I'm loving it, and I'm definitely already looking to buy some of your guys' candy! I hope you guys keep making videos, and make more videos featuring other makers!

[@bigglesflysagain1749]

You have a great timbre to your voice....makes me wanna listen !!

[@richardbidinger2577]

I was recently diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, maybe a couple months ago, and just discovered this channel last week. I've really enjoyed watching these videos, even though I can't eat any of it now. The irony is not lost on me.😩👍

[@andybaldman]

This is worth having diabetes for.

[@pandaperian1024]

Great to see these two fantastic channels teach other some cool new tricks :) !!!

[@ChubbyUnicorn]

I love the collaborative culture between candy making channels! It's a great vibe.

[@zirene5237]

These videos are so much easier to watch now that I actually have the candy sitting next to me and can just eat some instead of wishing I had some to eat. I've shared it with a few friends and have gotten amazing reactions.

[@TheOzflyer]

It was good to see Hercules video of this, then come here and watch this version, both videos compliment each other well, your commentary was very good and informative, I’m so intrigued by the candy making process, it’s a trade I would have loved to get into. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@scottschoppert9149]

Whippy very cool watching both videos

[@TheGaurdianSeesYou]

It was really cool of you guys to give him some candy, what a great smile

[@Doramius]

Been waiting for this video. You sir, are a busy man, and we love your videos.

[@MrRasnowman]

I loved when these two channels worked together this is some of my fav on KZbin

[@davidmedford1166]

My two favorite candy KZbinrs doing a collab. What more could I ask for!

[@johnrobinson6112]

Beautiful final product. Nice video!

[@silvertree2189]

LOVE the COLLABORATION! Companies need to do this more. Great to see Hercules from another perspective as well! :)

[@kaichidraws7787]

I wanna say I appreciate you taking time to travel and meet other candy maker. I love the passion you show to your work. I enjoy it. I do wish I could visit your shop - I live overseas and far. I enjoy watching your videos and your explanations of things. Keep up the good work - I hope you wont get discourage. Love this series. ^-^.

[@jester4886]

Best crossover in KZbin candy history

[@thisguyyeet]

Lofty and Hercules these 2 nations united and made candy history

[@tiffanymjohnston8052]

I just started to watch your channel a few days ago and have been watching Hercules candy for a month or so. It was really nice and surprising to come across this video!!! Thanks to you both for an awesome collaboration!!!

[@Toms3rdNut]

I love everything about this... the trading skills part made my heart melt.

[@13nikkinoodle]

so i just came from their channel because i just found them the other day, and I've been watching your channel for a few years, and literally live 3 hours from hercules candy and you were there!

[@LeeAllanSpades]

I haven't gone through all your videos yet, but have you considered heading up to the Shane Confectionery in Philadelphia? They're pretty famous for their super detailed toy candy, and the Franklin Fountain nearby makes an AMAZING Root Beer float.

[@LoftyPursuits]

I'm friends with them. About 4 years ago they sold our candy.

[@ArtFiendz]

Amazing. I actually found your channel through thier channel. They always spoke highly of you so i came over to check you out.

[@BMarie774]

This is how it happened back in the day. People swapping skills and teaching one another in exchange for knowledge.

[@lynelljansen8057]

That was fun. Great to see the two candy stores coming together.

[@nowastenikki]

Oh my gosh I love both of your guys’s channels and this is amazing!!! Most out there crossover ever.

[@Jere616]

Greg. Found you and your YT channel from Hercules Candy's long video of this project. You're a good teacher with a deep well of knowledge and skill for the difficult art of image candy. Thanks for traveling so far to give the folks up in Syracuse a slice of your experience. Hope you were able to get some good takeaways from their multi-generational traditions. You're also a good video producer and narrator.

[@LoftyPursuits]

They taught me a lot about chocolate. The difference is, they already knew hard candy, just not my style, I knew nothing about chocolate. That was my first time working with it. I was not very good.

[@Jere616]

@@LoftyPursuits I spent two summers back in the '60s in my teens working in a candy factory here in southern New Jersey. (It made me lose my sweet tooth, which was a good thing.) :) Anyway, that's why I subbed to Hercules' channel. Now I have subbed to yours, from seeing you on theirs. Between just the boss and myself, we made many styles of fudge, pralines, butter almond crunch, Irish Potatoes, chocolate souffle, peanut brittle, coconut strip, black walnut chew, pecan logs and others I can't remember at the moment. We had water tables to cool the hard candies. But we never did any image candy like you do so well.

[@LoftyPursuits]

And I really want to learn more about everything you did.

[@Jere616]

@@LoftyPursuits Thank you. But I think it's been too long now to remember anything useful now, that was over 50 years ago. I do remember though the figure 8 pattern of stirring the fudge with the long paddle and trying to avoid being spit at after the cream and butter were put in waiting for it to go back up to temp - around 238 or so. :)

[@those_eyes]

Grear voice and so informative!!! Thank you! Hope you videotaped the chocolate molding process you learned from Steve and Terry. I'll look for it.

[@M1STYWORLD]

You have such a lovely giving nature 🙂 So nice to see you do a tag team video 💚❤️🍭🍬Candy Rocks 😉 Love the Hercules family too 💙💕

[@ginnigibbs3843]

I’ve seen almost every video from both and I’m just now having this one show up almost a year after it’s put up. I love both channels and was excited when I seen y’all did a video together.

[@TheOccupants]

I grew up in Syracuse. Made me think most cities had craft candies. Seeing this video made me realize how few there are

[@VidyUwU]

I literally watch both of them because it’s satisfying to watch

[@racheldavis6228]

Loved this awesome video guys ❤️❣️💙💚♥️

[@Waterflame]

Just watched the video from Hercules Candy where they made a green apple image candy, which they're calling rock cut candy, for the first time! So, because of that, I had to come and rewatch this video!

[@FishiesGoPook]

STEVE IS A CERTIFIABLE MIRACLE WORKER! lol ... and Terry is an absolute saint lol

[@barbbarbie826]

Collaboration is always a good thing. You learn from each other!

[@Drockaggie25]

I love Hercules candy! I cant believe two awesome candy shops made a crossover.

[@ruthsrandomthoughts9117]

Yeah my two fav candy makers together. In my town we have home town candy store called winans chocolates. Piqua Ohio. Please check us out been here since 60's.

[@blackrose139]

I come from Syracuse New York! That's so awesome that you actually came here since it's a lesser known part of New York

[@Thevietvegan]

I have only recently been introduced to your channel and I never expected that I'd come across a KZbinr I recognize on your channel! No Egg Craig is a fellow vegan youtuber 🤗 thanks for reminding me that the world is small and sharing your knowledge with other candy makers! It's so cool that you are happy to share and not trying to keep all the knowledge for yourself.

[@LindaB651]

They look delicious! Love to see you challenging your norms with a different type of heating/cooling! One of these days, I'm gonna' make it to Tallahasee!

[@Zakiriel]

Wonderful looking Orange candy!

[@knuddelkatze452]

I'd love to see the video of them teaching you about chocolate! Nice video-enjoyed it!

[@linden5480]

Amazing! The visits are great part of this channel

[@KingZando]

Cool to see collaboration like this, looked fun!

[@patrickjaroch5084]

very cool , i watched the hercules version of this video first, so seeing essentially the same video with your audio over dub is cool

[@thejman2003]

Florida, it's called the sunshine state for a reason

[@ItsChurchieYall]

I cant believe you were in Syracuse omg I wish I knew then :(((

[@dumdumdumbest834]

Im in auburn

[@justinlalugski2083]

Great video. I watched the Hercules candy video too and watching both perspectives was really nice

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

So my family is from Syracuse. We have migrated fo FL though and honestly have never heard of it. Something that made me laugh I was there for a funeral and went to ride my cousins horses. It was 80 degrees and they said "we dont usually ride when it's this hot"....It was so delightful outside I didn't even think that they may consider it hot. Might be jealous in the summer but not in the winter not a bit.

[@dumdumdumbest834]

@lofty pursuits i live in Auburn 20mins away from Syracuse auburn is where harriet tubman lived and willia seward lived he bought alaska i had no idea Hercules was in Syracuse i wish i had known u came here i could have brought u around too some good places Syracuse has everything

[@oswaldopadilla3128]

This is like a immovable object meeting a unstoppable force two legends in the candy business in one place very cool video

[@ryandoe11]

very cool... thats nice of you to share the love!!

[@jackieadkins2364]

Well I'm glad this one's out I've been waiting for this one too come out on your channel thanks dude

[@VHD404]

A crossover episode!

[@Jellytoaster]

Aaah my two fave candy channels together!

[@Ashley__Rose]

You should have a done a taste test with their chocolates ☺️🍫

[@ajnormandgroome]

I don't suppose anywhere is more humid than Florida. 65 degrees? That's warm for inside in New England. I've always seen candy made in copper kettles and on marble. So interesting to here a perspective not from New England

[@solomon5010-i1c]

Greg is like the sweetest guy

[@RobGradyVO]

great Content Greg love it

[@joyniklas8887]

Do you offer candy workshops?

[@londonbrotherson263]

Marvel: infinity war is the most ambitious crossover in history KZbin:

[@jacewarsinske3630]

I found out about a day ago and I love this stuff it is so soothing for my anxiety. Thank you!

[@catpchin]

Great collaboration!

[@allynacid3197]

The best crossover in candy history

[@jmschweinberg]

I saw a couple of clips in this video of pittsburgh landmarks. Did you visit any candy making places while here. I live in the Steel city!

[@jmeyer3rn]

Love your videos. You guys are awesome. We may just pass by your store in January!!

[@tiffanyhakunashi9257]

Max in the background ☺️❤️

[@agirldownunder9299]

Time to surprise them at their new premises Greg!

[@jill9356]

Two favorite KZbin candy shops lol

[@totallynotraegann]

I like how Max kept on peaking around Greg, trying to see what was going on lol

[@heru-deshet359]

I miss seeing them make candy in the old basement factory.

[@AwesomeRainbowLP1]

Is there going to be a video of you making chocolate with them? :D

[@kentonix00]

8:56 those fingertips almost got toasted

[@Notta_Brat]

I love them and you!!! This was fun to watch!!!

[@ajnormandgroome]

I'd like to see them, closer to CT

[@Robert-xp4ii]

Gorgeous, as always. I get being "somewhat" jealous of the kitchen temps there as Florida isn't the type of heat you can explain to ppl.

[@MrLaRue-lm3tw]

Hey where can I learn how to make candy like that I live in salsha Alaska

[@CannedSoup602]

Greg the Eternal,Manipulator of Candy

[@thisguytm3302]

Steve n Terrys my favorite

[@dcijams]

I would have love to stop in to lofty pursuits this morning but I was trying to out run a hurricane. Driving a tractor trailer in the wind is not fun. But I would like to talk to you about doing a custom candy for the company I work for. Our trucks are blue and The and lead initial of the company is a big W.

[@andybaldman]

He don’t care

[@biggerweld174]

Greg throwing mad shade about shop equipment

[@zog_undertale_73sans_cool81]

I’ve been waiting for this

[@MrShroominkid]

Visit their new shop!

[@MJKcakes]

What a great experience.

[@dumdumdumbest834]

[@xvx4848]

Hey my two favorite candy KZbin channels!

[@longshot789]

You just eat it sooner when it's humid!

[@tribalmemes6414]

I live in pa my guy I’m used to this weather

[@1976jtd]

You need to visit new shop

[@morningfairy420]

Please Check out Hughes Home Made Chocolates In Oshkosh, WI

[@EmoExpression]

This was posted on my birthday! :D

[@iNezerroth]

Plastig bag's name is Craig?

[@jaytullo5486]

You use corn syrup and not cane sugar ?

[@LoftyPursuits]

You can't just use corn syrup. You need more than one type of sugar to make hard candy work.

[@jaytullo5486]

Lofty Pursuits thank you for replying! I’ve been curious about the sugar cooking process, it would be cool to see those steps too. I think you’ve mentioned that you don’t want people getting hurt trying though.

[@JohnJacobJingleheimerSchmit]

Where was that incline plane in the intro of the video?

[@bundangbear]

That looks like the Johnstown Incline.

[@JohnJacobJingleheimerSchmit]

@@bundangbear that's what I was thinking. I live near there and was wondering if he passed through Johnstown

[@LoftyPursuits]

It was in Pittsburgh. Don't remember the name.

[@bundangbear]

The Monogahela Incline.

[@JohnJacobJingleheimerSchmit]

@@LoftyPursuits wow that's pretty neat. I'm in Pittsburgh a bunch for different stuff. Thanks for answering.
