  • Making The Goods is a documentary about the technology of manufacturing some of our favourite weekend items. No weekend away is complete without your sleeping bag, BBQ or snacks. We go behind the scenes, inside factories, and show how these things are made; from the raw materials, to the final product rolling off the assembly line. We hear from experts who oversee the design and get up close to the gears, machines and conveyor belts in the factories that pump out the products.

    I used to work for Smiths here in the UK before Walkers bought them out. ahh the good old 1980s crisps straight out the fryer taste like cardboard no flavour at all not even potatoe. when you started working for Smiths they let you eat as much as you want , you grew tired of them pretty quickly, my favourite were freshly made smokey bacon flavour when they were still warm.

      Some recycling companies sell recycled plastic that was separated, confectioned, removed labels, cleansed, dried and packaged. The only problem is that it is often more expensive than pure non-recycled plastic. Not many factories use that.

      They are made from corn flour, masa, and vegetable oil. The mixture is rolled out onto a flat sheet on what we call a die cut sheeter. A rolling set of dies cuts out a row of flat chips, then they are fed into an oven. The length after they are cooked they are fed into coating drums, where they are seasoned, dumped onto a weigh scale, and packaged.
