Making Liqueur Chocolates: Boozy Sweet Treats (1965) | British Pathé

It makes sense why people would gift a box of chocolates back in the day. They were literally hand made works of art. Today, you just know they are made by a machine in mass numbers.

[@cynthiatolman326]

That is an excellent point. When chocolates and candies were made like that, a box would be a very special gift.

[@robharding5345]

Absolutely, today's chocs, are light years behind these gems.

[@perlasandoval7883]

​@@robharding5345in my opinion today's chocolates are better because it's more accessible thanks to increased production numbers, more hygienic due to reduced human contact during manufacturing and more uniform products thanks to reduced human errors, but the taste is what really matters which is only affected by storage,production and ingredients

[@robharding5345]

It's quite a world away from today's documentaries, wouldn't you say? Numerous British Pathe films from the 1950s through the 1960s (and also the intro to the first Willy Wonka movie from the early 1970s) have a soundtrack that seems to have no common match in today's world. (And yes, I was speaking slightly British here on purpose, though I live not in the United Kingdom.)

Aleksander Dogger I doubt it, if I remeber correctly chartreuse wasn't exactly common place because it had wormwood in it, and anything with wormwood was banned for a while because wormwood is a poison. So if the ban was lifted by then it still was taboo to have chartreuse in stuff. ( I might be wronge, but I'm pretty sure I'm right )

[@anophelesnow3957]

It meant money back then too. Those chocolates could not be bought by your average person back then. Those ladies working the lines could not afford them. it's tru they are quality but they'd be £50 a box now, easy.

[@kenc2257]

There are still hand-made chocolates. They're produced in small quantities, in quant, artisanal shops, and priced accordingly. That said, it's good to have nice quality sweets that people can enjoy more frequently (more often than a special occasion), and are more affordable.

[@Linkale_]

I think there's still quality if you want to pay for it. Haven't you seen how those customers are dressed? That's not you average supermarket

You know one of the things I love about these old Pathe films? They show English men and women, working in factories, using their hands and doing the jobs we are told must go overseas or be done by immigrant labor.

[@Imxel21]

Immigrant labour equals cheap slave labour which also equals more profit for corporations. Profit defeats everything else

[@Kerithanos]

@@Imxel21 But then why does the immigration policy of every Western nation prioritize populations least suited to labor? The corporate world is run by our enemies, to be sure. But mere short-term profit is clearly not a significant factor in their decision making. Nothing our rulers do is good for business. They want us to believe our problems are simple and mundane and only matters of greed, so we don't react too strongly. The truth is so much worse.
