Same here. Imagine someone hands you a product and they tell you to build state of the art equipment to produce it with high quality and economies of scale
The amount of automation infrastructure just to make cracker sandwich is astounding. Imagine how much is cost to design an build all of these machines for just this one product.
It may seem astronomical at first but these last a long time and the plans for the machine can be sold to make other similar products or variations within the same company. The production scale is honestly ridiculous.
I worked at a company that built equipment for factories. We built conveyor, counting and packaging equipment. It’s a cut throat industry, not a lot of profit is made.
This is so crazy I'm a mechanic over at Kellogg's in NC. We originally took over Austin and Keebler crackers and still produce there sandwich crackers. I was expecting some differences in the machinery but they are virtually the same from mixing all the way to shipping.
You pretty much are if you buy at a place like Walmart. These crackers get bought out regularly with school beginning. The turn around time from shelf to end of use date is only 6 months. We buy a large box of 20 just about every other week. The ones we have this week have a January 2023 ending date. Something that has a shorter 2 months date is snack cakes. We had a pack of 20 that had only one cracker and peanut butter in the packs and they sent us 2 coupons for $3.99 if I remember correctly. We buy a lot of their other crackers, too. We have no children at home any more my husband is the Toast Chee fan. I like the cream cheese and chives Captain's Wafer and Nekot fan. Our dog Adam likes them all.
I love that they are spotlighting Lance Toast-Chee crackers. They are my brand of choice! A more well-cooked cracker than other brands. I buy them almost every time I go food shopping. Sometimes it's like I live off these things, lol
They’re my favorite too! I have a lot of nostalgia attached to them. My grandma used to pick up my sister and I from school for piano practice every Wednesday, and she always brought us a snack. Usually a packet of these, a banana, and a glass of milk.
Man, this is a neat insight into how some of these nostalgic and tasty snacks are made. All through my childhood and even into adulthood I always liked the cheese-filled versions of these. The peanut butter filled ones aren't BAD, I just don't like them as much as the ones with the cheese filling. Seeing them made from dough to packaging was a neat little distraction for the day.
Yep. So many of life's little pleasures actually have people behind it. Most of these facilities work 24/5 or 24/7. Means someone is up at 3:30 a.m. aligning crackers.
Dude, is there a way I can make this guy make my voicemail message? Guy's awesome. He IS How It's Made, I legitimately won't watch an episode if Brooks ain't narrating.
Fascinating how precise the machines are. Very interesting how much ingenuity and thought went into making each and every moving part to be 100% perfect. Crazy to think about how a person (people) can make mass producing machines for the largest companies in the world.
I used to love watching how it's made. This was one of the best things on tv when I was a growing up. In my opinion at least. And I still buy Lance peanut butter crackers from Dollar Tree 😀
You betcha Duke. That’s a centuries old pastry technique called “docking.” You see it most often with certain pies and quiches, where docking the dough keeps the bottom crust flat and stable instead of bubbling up with pressure and deforming or bursting. 🤠
Same with doughnuts. Fry a dough disc and get a huge unsightly air pocket. Punch a hole in the center & voila; air pocket won't form. Same with the narrow cut of 'long johns'.
honestly during the 1st half, my only thought was "i'm never eating these again" then when they're cooked and decorated all of a sudden i said "i'd eat those...."
That was just a little bit added to thicken the liquid. It was then added to huge tub of flour afterwards. FYI - everything is a chemical. From the flour in crackers to the air you breathe.
That's how they've always been. No one mistook them for a gourmet item. But back in the day, they were pretty tasty if one had the munchies at midnight.

A lot of flavors are fat soluable, meaning they can be present in the dough, but not detectable without fats. There is also the very real possibility that the oil itself is flavored.

I love peanut butter and cheese cracker sandwiches. One of my favorite snacks.
I find these clips oddly satisfying to watch.

I always enjoy how it's made episodes on food. It's so interesting how food gets made in industrial amounts.
The calibration of all the factory equipment in these types of videos always amazes me
Idk what it is about this guys voice but it's soothing & lulling so I watch these when I can't sleep
Cracker Adjuster, they never told us about that one at Career Day.
Love this video... and "Sandwich Crackers" of course! "How It's Made", IMO, the best program on TV/Cable!👍👍
th-cam.com/video/oGW3WNZQOIM/w-d-xo.html
Without a doubt best non fiction program.
Wonder how many steps they skip in certain products that the company doesn’t want the population to see
But can we please get a “how it’s made” how it’s made. Like how a how it’s made show is made 💕

I can’t imagine how long it would take to clean all those machines from time to time..very impressive process indeed

They were cleaned after every shift. All floors swept and mopped as well.
I meant in the mixing department anyways.

once it reaches a hungry snacker, it will be gone in no time.
You kniw what i always wanted to know how it's made? A diecast model,car,plane,ship etc
Those are on TH-cam to well used to be
I had no idea this much work was put into a simple cracker.
@@joeyanthony7831 cool bro
It might be easier making them on a non industrial scale. I am sure that’s partly why it is so complex.
What do you think they just willed 10 million crackers into existence?
If your job has these in the vending machine it’s probably the best option in it.
th-cam.com/video/oGW3WNZQOIM/w-d-xo.html
Years ago I did service calls at Lance in Charlotte, NC. That’s one big factory.
3:08 The most satisfying part of the whole video, watching them all get broken up into individual pieces.
I watch these when I'm really bored and there is nothing else to do.
As a kid in the 90s I always used to watch how it's made and now it's on TH-cam my life is complete
This is my favourite childhood and still is. Glad to see a “How it’s made episode”.
OMG imagine how good those would taste to eat the same day they are made.
Literally eating ritz crackers and peanut butter
me too
I always thought the perforated holes in the crackers were for design, it's merely to let the steam come through. #themoreyouknow

It's for both function and fashion.
How many holes in one cracker?

@@hensonlaura same with pies .... if you do not cut holes in the pie crust, the escaping stream with deformed the crust.

these machines are really amazing!!
I hear Millhouse's dad is a big wheel around these parts.
They moved so fast, I got dizzy watching. 😂
These are delish.
Guuuuuuuuurl!!!
They neglected to mention that Lance also makes their own peanut butter for the crackers.
They mix up crushed Toasty crackers in the peanut butter as well. It made the batches last longer and gave it texture and flavor.
"A quick spray of vegetable oil adds flavor" 😂😂😂
Breaking the crusts would be an extremely satisfying job
I have broken the crust to release gas more than once in my life.

American processed 'food' is complete garbage.

There's more water than acetic acid in vinegar. I guess that means it doesn't taste like vinegar
