      I have a strong feeling the white color would stay, just because the candy is pretty viscous at the pulling phase, and the bubbles are very very small so the force on each one is pretty tiny. It’d be interesting to see for sure!

    Love that big candy cane. When my son was a kid, it got to be a tradition for him to get a BIG candy cane each year. I would haunt all the candy and specialty stores to find the biggest one available. The bigger the better. One year I found one almost as big as the rhino cane. It lasted him well into the next year. Sadly, the tradition stopped when he went to college. He had no way to get one back to school after the holiday. Couldn't do it now even if I wanted to - he can't have the sweets. Bummer. But it is fun to remember the look on his face the first time. Normally, candy canes were tucked INTO the top of our Christmas stockings. But for him, his stocking was hung from the crook at the top of his candy cane.

    I don't know why, but watching you fold the candy on the hook or in the folding/taffy machine seems so satisfying. Just watching it change colors and take on the sheen of the air being mixed into the batch is hypnotic. Have you ever considered making a compilation video if nothing but the candy hook and the folding machine?

    I have been watching you for a while, but this video did it... This is the video that made me turn notifications on.
    You are literally the only channel that has achieved this. Congratulations

    The best part is when you cut the candy with those big scissors. So satisfying

      The funny thing is those are our middle sized scissors . I don't tend to film the big batches.
