How It's Made

I wish they would show this in bars instead of sportscenter

I was kind of expecting the "How They Make Cheetos" episode to ruin my appetite forever, but you know, after it was over, I was kinda hungry for Cheetos.

my favorite tv show to watch when stoned

Great hangover tv. Terrible puns though :(

v disappointed this is not called "WAHT IS MADE"

I think an "industrial use" in the case of maple syrup means the food industry- flavoring mainly.

xp Re: industrial uses for maple syrup. I'm thinking this would be for those "food products" which prominently advertise "Made with real maple syrup!", by which they mean that a small dose of low grade maple syrup has been introduced into the batch, along with the usual shitload of high fructose corn syrup.

they were showing how they made highlighter pens. not any brand you've heard of, of course. they were these 3-in-1 mini pens that were more like schwag you'd pick up out of a bowl at some business's booth at a job fair or something. but they had a specialized machine that used an electromagnet to pick up colorful metal flakes and drop them into the clear pen casing for decoration. why!? did veruca salt demand that daddy's highlighter factory put glitter in the pieces of crap?

max otm, btw

(xpost) American highlighters sound completely different and gaudily exciting compared to the ones we get in Europe. Here our highlighters are short and stubby and made in Germany. With no excitement whatsoever.

love this show

Have only ever seen in norwegian and dutch, it does not matter. Foreign hotels with discovery channel, I love you.

dream job: composing the library music for this show

I think this show is Canadian, which would explain brand x.

Try searching on G00gle Vide0 for "The Secret Life Of", a series of UK TV programmes about video recorders, engines, etc..

This is the ultimate in geek porn. Tim Hunkin and Rex - Legends.

for the first time ever I am jealous of chicago kevin

I didn't intend that to sound mean btw

(xxpost) I love the video recorder episode, they make audio tape out of sticky tape and rust, and then test it ("THIS IS RECORDED ON STICKY TAPE AND RUST! THIS IS RECORDED ON STICKY TAPE AND RUST!"), they demonstrate how the video signal deteriorates with multiple copies, visit the Science Museum warehouse to look at old tape machines...

You should also be jealous of his record collection, his friends' dogs, and the fact that I've made him mac'n'cheese from scratch.

PS: I fucking love this show.

how was that mac'n'cheese made

xpost is was pretty fucking awesome. also, i consider myself to be something of a connoisseur of grilled cheese sandwiches and laurel made me the best one ever.

"on this episode of how it's made, transition lenses, nabkin dispenders, and a grilled cheese sammich..."

mock me if you will but i'm getting a damned grilled cheese.

So THAT's how they make those. Just a little butter huh?

when i visit my family there is this program on some cable-access kinda dealy that shows tours of the mrs. t's pierogie factory and stuff. fucking beautiful

on wttw this weekend they were showing how they make the hot dogs at the vienna beef factory up on damen ave.

not pretty.

this guy's voice and delivery are pretty classic. i half expect him to bust into "and then the man's semen enters the woman's...", he's got such a educational filmstrip quality to him.

HI DERE WAHT IS IT MADE

wasn't sure whether to revive the longer thread or the earlier thread so I picked the longer thread

just saw haggis on "How It's Made". Got to see a frozen block of sheep's lungs chopped into chunks and what probably a hundred pounds of simmering beef fat looks like.

Factory was meticulously clean-looking though.

Best HIM eposide is one where you watch some guy essentially wank off a fish and you remember that that is his entire life and you want to cry

I liked the candles one or the luxury saddles one

but new Yankee workshop is still #1 imo

I still can't believe buttons got a two-part special.
