My grandmother used to buy the whole candied fruits when I was little. Back then I didn’t know they were real fruit, I thought they were giant fruit snacks.

I mean considering that you were a child and only knew about fruit snacks on packages, you can assume anything that is similar to a fruit snack just another fruit snack

Time to try it ourselves.

[@rndmbs]

no

[@NathanChisholm041]

Watermelon is discusting

[@jennifercavenee7572]

Interesting concept. I imagine the rind of a standard watermelon is too tough and fibrous to really be any good, and a fruit that size is probably too big for the sugar to effectively penetrate and candy the whole thing. But I have seen candied melon flesh before, and some melon varieties do grow in small, single-serving sizes. I'd be willing to give it a shot with a miniature icebox watermelon or with melon slices if I worked there.

[@Mr.Saephan503]

If I can get the defective one for cheaper I rather have the defective ones then the good looking ones lol

[@Cerinaya]

Some candy companies sell the mistakes for a discounted price. Russel Stovers (not sure if they still do) used to sell boxes of mixed candy that was considered defective because it had gaps in the chocolate where the filling leaked out at their factories. Jelly belly started selling their 'belly flops' jelly beans in the stores but they are not really much cheaper if at all. I miss the Sara Lee bakery that used to be about an hour from my house. They had some killer sales on their stuff in the outlet.

[@aundreawilliams1211]

Yeah, they all go down the same

[@glorygloryholeallelujah]

Some factories do sell the “defective” products... There was a “mom & pop” candy factory where my grandparents used to live, that we would go to whenever we visited them! It was *SO cool* - the entire production section of the factory was enclosed by glass barriers and the 2nd floor had enclosed glass observation walkways directly over them...so people could watch everything being made without getting underfoot and they didn’t have to worry about “tours/tour guides”, or risk contamination. It was basically the best and most brilliant factory setup EVER!! (I’ve not been to other candy factories- so that might be a pretty standard thing...but it definitely blew our little kid-minds!!)😆 But in the gift shop/store section of the factory, they had bulk bins of all the “imperfect” candies, that you would buy by the lb. for a significant amount less (if you just wanted it to eat and didn’t need/want the pretty packaged candy for a gift or something.) The entire place was freakin awesome. Definitely lots of happy childhood memories there! 😁❤️😋

I knew candy fruit was expensive but never knew how long and detailed the process was till now.

When I was younger I always had a huge problem with people who did not use gloves when making food that includes hand involvement, or if I saw that food that is being prepared for me was tasted with the same spoon that would be used again to stir or shit like that. This included my mother too. If I caught her licking the spoon and dunking it back into the gravy, I would instantly say "nope. no way. i am not eating that" and I was fine with just being hungry or eating boiled eggs. But now, I matured, am 20 yo and stuff like this doesn't bother me anymore. I was watching this video and seeing the lady using her fingers to brake the fruit jelly apart, and it doesn't bother me at all. two years younger myself would go nuts about it and would never eat that fruit jelly, never XD
