"Go hang a salami, I'm a lasagna hog" was my favorite palindrome growing up. It's still towards the top.

One of my absolute favorite things about this channel is how Greg treats every video as someone's first when he talks about the candy making process. "It's Amber now but it'll become white later and I'll show you how" I just love that you can come in at any video and know the process and why they're doing whatever steps they're doing.

To be fair, people watching these types of videos probably already have some idea on how it's done. There are SO MANY of these types of videos on KZread. And most of this is "just watch the video and find out" type stuff (like how amber candy becomes white).

I was thinking early on in this video, you play "Mamma Mia" and I was like, oh...because Mother's Day. Then I realized you were playing all Abba. UGH! I see what you did there.

It's wild to hear you say an apple being crisp is the same thing as being tart. Crisp has always described texture, not flavor, how I've heard it used.

I'm just digging the Abba melody going on.

You should consider getting a freeze dryer and making freeze dried hard candies

Being the internet expert on all things that I am... I would think malic acid would be more appropriate for an apple flavored candy. I'm sure there is a reason that would not work though.

@Dyanosis

8 ай бұрын

If you were an internet expert as you claim to be, you would know that malic acid, due to its low melting point, is a terrible acid to use with hard candy. That candy is literally 310 degrees F. Even when it "cools", it still wouldn't be cool enough to add in the malic acid. Therefore, you need an acid that is more sturdy/has a higher melting point so it doesn't do more harm than good. It's like figuring out when to add milk to a dish - if you add it while the dish is hot, your milk can curdle. But if you add it later (or add it before you heat everything up) then it'll incorporate better.

You always say about the air making the candy white and I'am sure your not wrong but it starts to go pale as soon as starts to stretch, There must be something else going on. I feel like there's a great collaboration with a science channel here that I'd love to see.

@Dyanosis

8 ай бұрын

No need for a science channel. He literally explains it in the simplest form in the video. As the candy stretches, it incorporates and traps air inside, which causes it to turn white. After they remove it from the hook, you can see how much more "airy" the candy looks. This same technique, because of the effect of air, is how you can turn red into pink, blue into cyan, etc.

@brocktechnology

8 ай бұрын

@@Dyanosis Yes he explains that every time he does it but as I said the color change starts on the very first stretch, before any air is folded in. Further the candy develops chatoyance as it stretches' which doesn't seem to be explained by air.

palindrome (n.) "line that reads the same backward and forward," 1620s, from Greek palindromos "a recurrence," literally "a running back," from palin "again, back" (from PIE *kwle-i-, from root *kwel- (1) "move round," with notion of "revolving;" see cycle (n.)) + dromos "a running" (see dromedary). Related: Palindromic. It's a massive waste of potential when people try to make something it's not.
