I may be late in pointing this out, but "grinded" in an incorrect conjugation of "grind." "Ground" is probably what you intended. Thank you for revealing all the amazing industrial technology. The machines are amazing.

Reese’s PB Cups have been my favorite candy for more than 66 years. I don’t expect that to change. I used to eat them every day. Now? Maybe one pack every couple of months. Getting old isn’t always fun! But eating this delicious candy is always a perfect moment.

[@julesfrazier4307]

As others have said, "Grinded"? Also, I am 99.9% sure they don't store the peanut butter in jars like that, that would be highly inefficient. That looks like stock footage of peanut butter jars being filled for resale. I'm sure it is stored in giant tubs where it can be moved to the dispensers. Watch any other food "How it's made" shows that use actual footage, not clips they found on the internet, to see how they process large quantities.

[@rihamy2nd]

I was scrolling through the comments to see if anyone else was questioning the whole “puts it into jars” thing. That just seems ludicrous. I sat there waiting to see if the assembly line workers were going to open each individual jar and spoon a dollop of peanut butter into each cup lol. I agree with you. Somebody decided to roll some Jif production line footage as B-roll on this and the narrator wrote it into the script.

Ok, try this on for size: 1) inefficiency 2) extra cost (which cuts into profit margin) 3) waste (ever try to squeegee the last few grams of peanut butter from the bottom of jar?) 4) increased storage space 5) addition of a cleaning/sterilization process each time a jar is reused 6) increased labor costs The peanut butter that goes into the peanut butter cups never leaves the production line. After it’s mixed, it’s pumped through stainless steel tubing directly into the waiting cups. Let’s consider some facts here: They process over a million pounds of peanuts daily. Their machinery packages more than 800 units per minute. The idea that they have somebody (thousands of somebodies?) that are being paid by the hour to scoop peanut butter from jars at this pace is laughable.
