Nat Geo has a series called Food Factory and I just watched an episode
that showed Hershey Kisses.

They bring in milk from 14,000 cows every day
They make 70,000,000 kisses every day.

In the 18th century bite sized confections were called "kisses" thus the
name.

This past weekend the History Channel had all day showings of "Modern
Marvels" and they were all about food. Interesting shows and new episodes
start next week. BUT, I thought they were named kisses as that's the sound
the depositor made when it laid down the chocolate on the moving belt.
Maybe somebody was pulling my leg when they told me that.

I watch that show occasionally. I like it better when they make
something other than candy.

I find the mechanics of it fascinating. The specialty machines that cost
big bucks so we can buy food cheaply. I have an idea for a new cookie
and it will only cost $750,000 to start production.

Maybe you do, but candy seems to be of great interest to a lot of
people. You guys don't have Bulk Barns, but it is a chain of stores that
sells bulk food and backing supplies. I typical store layout is to have
5 or 6 aisles all lined with bins of bulk goods. One has spices, herbs,
coffee and tea. One had grains and cereals. One end is flour, sugar(s)
dried fruits, candied fruits etc. At least one aisle is candy.. all the
way down the aisle and both sides.

I buy most of my herbs and spices there. It is my go to store for fruit
cake ingredients. I tend to avoid the candy aisle because candy doesn't
interest me much. It is hard not to notice what other people at the
checkout counter are getting because everything is in clear plastic
bags. Most of them are buying large quantities of candy. Given my lack
of interest in candy I can't help but to be amazed at how much candy so
many people buy.

Would cost a lot more to start production of peanut butter filled
Oreos... which I think would quickly overtake and surpass
the plain vanilla creme filled Oreos. I never liked that plain
tasteless calorie laden white creme filling...I like the chocolate
wafer cookies and always twist the Oreos open and scrape that white
glop into the trash. Chocolate cookie wafers filled with peanut
butter would be a heavenly match... probably be even better with the
PB and a blob of orange marmalade.

The Oreos name should be changed to Boreos.

We have a Bulk Foods Superstore in the next town. Only been in there
once. Some stuff seems a decent buy but did not do much comparison. I
always wonder about the sanitation in those places where your food is
scooped out of a bin.

It is a great place for baking supplies, but you have to watch the
prices. Herbs and spices are a steal, usually a very small fraction of
the price of bottled products. I am not sure about flour. I can usually
do better by buying larger bags. It is the one place I can usually find
all the dried and glazed fruit I need for fruitcakes.

Do you notice the same thing about so many of their customers being
there only for candy?

I go there manly for the herbs and spices. They can't make much money
off me because they are so cheap. Bottled herbs and spices are $4 a
bottle or more. My 3.5fl oz canisters hold at least three times the
volume. The last time I was there and stocked up on a half dozen herbs
and spices it cost about $3.50.


Baking goods are all going to be cooked. They do keep on eye and things
and are constantly cleaning up.

ALL food is originally scooped from a bulk bin. If you buy in little
fancy schmancy packaging that just means you are willing to pay a lot
more for the same product in different clothing. Buying in bulk is
also cleaner because it's been handled far less. I buy in bulk
whenever possible, I much prefer to divide at home. I buy meats in
family packs, I save money and don't mind rewraping. When I want
ground beef I much prefer to buy large beef roasts and grind them
myself... not much effort in dividing and wraping... far better than
paying top dollar for mystery meat. When I want pork chops I buy an
entire rib roast, there's little effort deviding into chops and
wraping... costs a lot less and there's no mystery.

The question is who is doing the scooping. A couple of factory workers,
trained and clean? Or the masses walking in off the street? Including
the hippies who love those stores.

If it is any consolation, they don't put a lot of product in the bins at
any one time so there is high turnover of the contents. I suppose that
keeps the contamination down a little bit. You may only get the cooties
from 2 or 3 people, not dozens.

Yeah, but my inner Sheldon popped up.

Then you are admitcally a dumb schmuck.

Do you really think that the meat department where you shop wears
gloves in the back when dividing with sharp knives? DUH

Packaged foods are factory wrapped robotically. If you were to pay
for hand processed you couldn't afford to eat.

What's wrong with yoose fools...

What's wrong with you? We're talking about retail stores that have bins of
flour, sugar, nuts, spices, etc. You go in, take a bag, open the bin,
scoop out what you need with the provided scoop, and put it in your
bag. You label the bag with the SKU number of the contents and they
weigh the bag and charge you according to the SKU number.

It's like a buffet. Anybody can reach into the bin with a bare hand if
they think they won't get caught.

Specifically, this one:

I haven't seen a store in recent times that sells flour by the
scoop... maybe my grandmother has... the only flour I see is sold in
factory sealed bags. However the only flour I've been buying lately
is Wondra, in factory sealed canisters... perhaps 2-3
a year. I no longer need large quantities of flour.

I used to buy 20kg sacks of bakers' flour from a wholesaler but was
concerned about all the additives. BB sells additive free and "organic"
flours as well as sprouted grain flours. The prices are obviously higher
than the wholesaler but competetive with the supermarkets, at least for
the types I buy. They have many other baking items that one can't find
elsewhere such as sanding sugar. They also carry a wide range of gluten
free products.

It is the one place I can usually find

I have seen that type of customer on many occasions. Pet lovers also go
there for the bulk pet food.

You're not allowed to say "additive free" or "organic" in RFC. That's
Marxism.

Remember the old "I Love Lucy" shows? Whenever Ricky got really mad at
her, he would yell at her in Spanish. She had no clue what he was saying
and would just stand there and nod. heh eheh

I had a summer job in an alloy smelting plant where the noise from the
furnaces was deafening. I worked with an old Hungarian guy with a
limited English and a very heavy accent. On day he was jabbering away to
me and I kept nodding and saying yes, which seemed to keep him happy.
But then he said something and I said "Yes" and he got all upset "What
you mean yes? No. " That was the only part I understood.

Point is, you commented about packaged food without bothering to check
this store, called "Bulk Barn", isn't a run of the mill supermarket.

Yeah, but you can bet Ricky didn't say "besame el culo" ("kiss my ass")
to Lucy on that show. Hell, they weren't even allowed to sleep in the
same bed. LOL Whatever he was rattling off, you can bet it wasn't
actual swear words. May have been a different story in their real
married life.

I've not seen a Bulk Barn here, when I want to buy in bulk I go to
BJs... they sell most things by the case and in large size
containers... they sell things like shampoo and dish washing liquid
in gallon jugs, at near half price... just need to refill the regular
size containers, but there's a big savings, about half price.

True. IRL, their firstborn child was not a boy, it was daughter Lucie.
That wouldn't have fit the plot of the television show. Had to be a boy
baby who could later sing "babaloo".

Those scenes on the show where Lucille Ball was pregnant with her son
were actually filmed when she was pregnant with her first child, her
daughter. There was such a bru-haha about showing a pregnant woman on
network television. I really do not understand why anyone thought
people would be offended about seeing a pregnant woman on television.

It's not as if the people who watched the show didn't have pregnant
friends and neighbors. Run into pregnant women shopping at the
neighborhood market, the butcher, vegetables. Talking about baking a
cake. Pregnant women didn't go into "seclusion" in the 1950's. Network
censors, a holdover from the Hollywood Code of Ethics came Don't forget
the McCarthy hearings about 1940's and 50's suspected communist
sympathizers.

On the 'I love Lucy' show they turned it into the birth of a boy. I
guess that's the machismo thing to do. Carrying on something. Their
son "little Rickie" was played by this [then] kid:

Richard Keith Thibodeaux

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Keith_(actor)

Not related to Dezi or Lucy in any way.

Things were different back them. Ricky and Lucy slept in separate beds.
Female teachers had to go on leave. Single female teachers had to find a
new job.
