“The lump weighs ~16 kg. Far too big to eat.” Says you.

TГSR The implied meaning is “too big to eat at once”, and it’s mostly that it wouldn’t fit in your mouth.

“A dash of apple flavoring” *pours the whole bottle in*

[@rileyplaysanimalcrossing4415]

in comparison to how much of the candy is in the pot that flavoring is only a tiny amount

[@drunkginger0077]

That’s me in an apple shell

@John Tran it was about the same as the bottle

“Next stop, the chopping block.” I’d rather have it as the full stick. Do they sell that by any chance?

[@viktornikiforov3602]

Citric acid may make the sugar cool slower but also, without it you would barely be able to taste the flavor no matter how much flavoring you put in. So that bit where they say now it tastes great is a lie, it's just scented sugar.

[@timefoolery]

Interesting!

[@imperfektionista7457]

One of my favorite channels, Stereokroma, does something very similar to this. I love their Akita dog candy-making video especially :]

The only reason some Americans eat alot of sugar is because sugar is in everything sometimes even meat and the there is also natural sugar

[@alostbanana5010]

[@squidshave10tentacles58]

Well here we have the traditional rock candy, sold often in lots of coastal towns e.g. Brighton and Blackpool hence the name Brighton Rock or Blackpool Rock. Crystallised sounds really cool though!

Hey that's the Climate Town guy at 1:55 in! Rollie Williams, you absolute legend, you.

[@rileysummers484]

The professionals at lofty pursuits would definitely have some things to say about this, one-using a white coloring for a candy they are pulling is a waste of time and money, pulling turns the sugar opaque and white anyway, second using citric acid with a marble table is not good, citric acid eats marble and they didn’t cook the water out of the coloring so the candy will end up a bit sticky

[@rivv8909]

Riley Summers as a person from the video (that ugly guy with black hair) who made the entire batch I can ensure it turner out just fine :) And I can partially agree with the white colouring part - the batch was 12kg (+4kg of glucose) and as you can see the whole thing was done only by using hands, no machines included. Adding white colouring helps a lot with such large amounts, but indeed - we could have stretched it without it too :)

Their definition of rock candy is much different from here in America. Here it’s like big crystals of sugar on a sting or stick.

The meanings are different between the UK and the US, chips for them mean french fries but probably for you chips mean crisps :)

[@emilywhitfield2780]

Rock candy or candy glass from my childhood is made by boiling white sugar corn syrup water together until the sugar is dissolved flavorings and food color is added stirred well poured into a lightly oiled rimmed baked sheet and smoothed out into it resembles a pane of colored glass dust lightly with confectioners sugar cool completely and break into bite sized pieces cinnamon peppermint clove and various fruit flavors like cherry apple or grape are popular flavors never tried the kind with crystals on a stick don't know if anyone makes old fashioned rock candy /candy glass anymore
