How It's Made: M&Ms

How It's Made: M&Ms
On How It's Made we will go through recaps of How it's Made Episodes, How Stuff works, and How everyday items are actually made in factory.

[@lulWut9]

They skipped the most important part. How do they get the ‘m’ on them.

[@Damarlo36]

Exactly!!!

[@queenofswords6463]

Yes!

[@ruthpeterson4816]

Handprints by elves.

[@davidthompson2469]

You get them. It's more like a commercial than info.

[@ultimatewitcherfan6677]

The ‘m’ is printed on with a special machine, as stamping it on could crush the candies

[@LindsayYowell]

This is like a 9 minute trailer for an actual documentary I'd like to watch.

[@makin_eng]

[@rahbekjonas]

It's incredible what AI can do with a bunch of stock footage.

[@devinehagia123]

This felt like m and m propaganda with the way the ai was romanticizing the ingredients and process lol

[@Conrad.99]

Repetitive, full of irrelevant footage, resembles an amateur commercial. I remember when How it's Made was a good show. This is extremely weak AI.

[@austinnighteyes1900]

Yea they literally just stole a bunch of clips from “unwrapped: how m&ms are made” Like you said, use to be good, now it’s just them trying to siphon money in on KZbin by just mashing together stock footage

[@androidgeneral6900]

This is not the how it's made channel don't be misleaded this is the channel kzbin.info/aero/PL39_ud5aKSvnYDhKdB7wTDUZRiE8RaJat&si=6g3aKleTm3717YI3

[@TheSaltyBoi]

The narrator definitely had a word count to hit since he repeated the EXACT SAME THING 3 times, about the quality and control.

[@mew4571]

The whole thing is basically just an advertisement for the m&ms corporation

[@PatrickGrahamPrevic]

That's what I get when I use ChatGPT. Is this a bot generated channel?

[@KirbySaysE]

Maybe

[@h7opolo]

I can tell this video was written by chat GPT.

Yep. Repetitive, incongruous, and filled with stock photos/video, some of which are wholly irrelevant or show a different product.

Perhaps they'll address this self-serving tidbit in a follow-up -commercial- documentary.

During the Vietnam war M&Ms were distributed to the troops. They were the only candy which held up in the heat and humidity and remained fresh. Have been a devoted fan ever since.

Two things. Why is the narrator sounding like he’s doing an episode of FBI Files? And why didn’t he say how the “m” Is put on???

I am an insulin Dependent Diabetic, on an insulin pump, so any time I leave the house I always have M & M's in my pocket. M & M's are a quick snack when I need something because of low blood sugar event. Just a small handful works for me, otherwise it would be, 'Call the EMT"s. Thanks for making a Great Product for those of us who have diabetes. They melt in your mouth, not in your hand, OR pocket!

[@lunitariaprime]

Made me remember getting them in plastic tubes shaped like candy canes around Crimmas along with stocking stuffers. Good holiday memories. c:

[@kevodowd5282]

Bring back the old "How it's made"

[@hunnybunny1770]

A lot of this footage had absolutely nothing to do with M&Ms, but other types of candy.

[@gilkell]

I worked at the M&M factory in quality control. I was fired on the first day for throwing out the “W”s.🤣😂

[@3gaysinatrenchcoat]

The narrator’s voice made this video feel like it should be a true crime documentary.

[@6TDOW66]

That was a longest commercial I've ever ate through.

[@burny1]

But how do they get their m?

[@dukececil6121]

Right like the molding and candy coating i figured i came searching because i was curious how they re align them and stamp the m

[@charlieterry6483]

dam! i thought this was about how m&w's were made

[@dreasmom2789]

Id like to see the machinery that was used when they first started making these.

[@Gerardhutt]

I wish they did not increase the price so much. A bag of M&M in The Netherlands is over 10 euro already it is crazy

[@Jeffreykip]

This video has a very AI created look to me.

[@TheDankDuchess]

The writing is generic and while not terrible, says nothing of consequence. It is super inhuman.

[@crasheffort]

This was more like an advertisement than what the original TV show was like. It does sound ai generated, both the voice and the script.

[@kimbrey65]

My daughter and grandson gave me a custom container of M&M's once. They were pink and teal and had a picture of my grandson laughing, MOM with a heart for the 'o', We love you, and Best grandma. I left it alone for the longest time. But, being a diehard chocolate -lover, I couldn't resist. It was a some time before I finished them but I at least got a couple good pictures to remember them.

[@jt.633]

thats a beautiful story

[@DXNewington]

AI voice takes over, part-way through, & changes to sinister serial killer voice. Creepy AF.

[@springhollerfarm8668]

They kept showing other candies being made and basically said the same things over and over, likely from the m&m website. AI creation is my guess.

This is more a commercial for M&Ms than a How it's Made :(

[@emilyriley1262]

I didn't realise that M&Ms owns this channel

[@frederiklampe1256]

How do they do the m on each one😊

[@s_m_v]

They print Ws on some of them. 🤣

[@beep1955beep]

That’s the main reason I watched this making of Video!!!

[@jons.6216]

I believe an old video of Unwrapped by the Food Network with Mark Summers went into that detail. it's here on KZbin.

[@MieLie07]

This didn't answer the question I had. Do they have HIGH STANDARDS for QUALITY CONTROL?! But seriously, how do they put the little "m"s on each one?

[@MaNameizJeff]

sadly this quickly turned into an m&ms commercial with dialogue straight from their pr department.

[@RemDog_2015]

Just did the drop test into my bowl and the m&m shell went flying everywhere. I guess they didn’t do enough quality control on this batch

[@bryandgizadventures]

His voice got evil 😂

[@miklchanl1597]

My aunt works at the m and m factory. I think she does quality control now. She gets boxes of free m and m’s and other candies just for working there. She gives me a bunch of candy whenever I visit. She lives in Blairstown now which is north of Hackettstown. I’m in south Jersey, Little Egg Harbor. Also, I’ve never seen square m and m’s. What’s up with that?

[@goose72000]

Slow down, im trying to use these videos to fall asleep

[@tocaaworldgirl]

I’m eating m•and•m rn 😂

[@georgec7199]

I've been enjoying m&m's since the late 1940's and they've always been my favorite. Some thoughts though.....I seem to recall back in those early days each piece had both letters and the ampersand stamped on them and not just one "m". Also, around maybe 1955 Mars introduced the peanut line by putting one peanut piece in each small bag of the chocolate ones. None of the kids in my neighborhood liked them and to this day (sorry Mars) I've never eaten another. I wish the video had shown how they put the "M" on and gave some detail regarding the wax that covers the candy which gives us that famous saying "Melts in your mouth, not in your hand." How many out there remember the days when they discontinued the red color because someone said the red dye used could cause cancer? That nonsense was finally put to rest and good old m&m's were their old selves again. The troops in WW2 loved these things and they've been going strong ever since.

[@reeseni7620]

I love learning how things are made

[@johnm4243]

This is less how it's made and more advertisement for M&Ms.

[@Buckl]

Agreed.

[@jacklong7048]

Yes its says for M and M's should be about making pretzels, makes some sense.

[@philstoh7874]

Yeah looks like some m&ms propaganda

[@jons.6216]

Funny that in the senior comments section of my 1982 yearbook the question "why don't they make blue M&Ms?" was brought up but they didn't become a thing all the way until 1995!

[@blueskysailing]

The blue dye is toxic.

[@shinigami146]

Just an observation: It has been a little while since I have viewed How It's Made. With this one, it seems that the narrator is the same person, but some things are very different about the narration in this spot. It used to be a very measured and same all around approach. This is a bit different. Perhaps the narrator was sick and working from home without the usual sound engineering.... Or perhaps he is now being held against his will and forced to narrate 😜 Just an observation and not a true conspiracy theory, lol.

[@pribilovian4709]

Noticed that too...sounds kinda creepy actually

[@davidswanson5669]

It’s not the actual “How it’s Made” creators. This is an auto-generated AI version. Yes it’s still written and edited by humans, but it generously helped by stock footage, by a generated voice (made to sound like the familiar narrator), and by mostly meaningless filler script.

I was talking with a woman today that worked there for along time. She talked about making Skittles but I never asked about M&Ms. They do make different candies here. I think there is at least one candy they make here that isn't made anywhere else in the world but I'm not sure of that.
