I think it is GREAT how you interacted with your "fan" customer! You guys really do make a lot of us happy; not just with the candy, but with the ambiance of the whole videos! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
I love that Julia knew who she was and stopped to go say hello to her. What a beautiful spirit that woman has. Thank you all for sharing sweet candy and kind-hearted people with us ❤
That customer was so sweet!! I’ve also been watching from very early on and have been able to visit the shop twice. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. The customer service is unmatched. Truly an amazing experience ❤️❤️
Honestly seeing customers come into the shop is awesome. I'd love to visit but I'm in the UK. You have so many people who watch and aren't able to visit that the customers who can, their delight resonates with me. Hope that makes sense. It's midnight here.
The customer spoke truth. You really do touch lots of us. I have been watching your channel for years. Recently, i have been diagnosed with major depressive disorder, and your videos seem to help more than the antidepressants i have been prescribed. Maybe one day I will be able to visit you all in person. Lots of love from Missouri.
It's true. I've also been watching your channel from the beginning, it the basement. Greatest hits was moving day. That huge undertaking moving the equipment was my favorite month. I'm so proud of you guys for creating this channel. You brighten our days! Thanks!
What a great vlog today, just seeing how excited and happy everyone was including the visitors. Just shows what a great group of people you are. This really made me feel good. If I wasn’t all the way across the world in Australia I would be visiting for sure.
What a hidden Gem of a candy shop ya'll got going on! I can't wait to order my first bag of hard candy from you guys. Newly subscribed. This is so much fun! May your business be blessed and may these wonderful sweet treats bring joy to everyone who tries them.
Omg she is the sweetest thing!!! If she's here reading these I hope she comments, we lived the dream through her lol. Love her and how y'all celebrate each other!!! ❤
Tennessee fan here too!!! 🧡🧡🧡 I came across one of your videos a few years back. I know the one I watched you were in the new place. Craig was doing a live video and having issues with the internet. There was a lady there teaching you how to make some type of candy. And I thought, who the heck are these crazy people? lol just being honest. Then I watched another video. Then I was hooked and went back, and I have watched them all. 😂 I miss the cooking videos, too.
Those sweet customers were so cute. I can’t imagine how fun it would be to visit all y’all. Hubby’s flying into & out of Syracuse & I’m praying his schedule will allow him to visit in early June (and come home with a great big bag of cashew brittle 🥰). These new candy flavors are amazing!
I just got my package. Everything is so well packed and, the ice pack did its job nothing melted. I want to tell you how excited i was you made soda flavors. I have been waiting so long for them. That was the first thing i opened. I was not disappointed. I only tried cola so far but. I am so excited to try the others. Thanks so much for all you do for your customers. ❤
Absolutely love all the candy from you all. I can't get enough of the sour ones! The sour bite sized green apple candy is my favorite. I keep checking to see if you will come our with a super sour/ultra sour version someday!
haha as of right now, I think our super sour is as sour as we're going to get. Unless you want to buy your own batch like that guy did a couple videos back!
It's very interesting that the woman in the shop visiting goes to bed watching your videos. Because I do the very same thing I Love the family running the buisness from generations back. And the passion that Steve has for his family history.
The lady is correct! The Hercules videos helped maintain my sanity during covid, so once the travel bans had lifted, I made a pilgrimage (4 hour drive from Waterford, Canada) to Syracuse to meet Steve & Terry in person.
That's exactly how I felt when I visited you all...just like that woman - very excited. She is correct, you do make a lot of people happy!! Would love to see what those women ended up purchasing. Great new hard candy flavor by the way!!❤❤🍫
I feel just like that sweet lady. I hope to meet all of you as well. I’m still loving my cheesecake bark and white chocolate covered almonds. Thanks for making videos and your kindness. Kris from Jupiter FL❤
I dunno but yea I would definitely try the cherry cola. Just been going through my order of Fruit and Friendly. So far I've been quite impressed with the intensity of the flavors.
Great job Julia, the wormy dirt bark looks yummy😋!! A thought about the oreo's🤔 maybe a mixture of finely crushed & chunky cut would give it the 'bang' you're looking for. Either way, it looks tasty from here🎉😊 keep up the great work!
I'm a basement OG. Found you after searching for a decent truffle recipe ... found the secret family recipe...was hooked from the get-go only to find its exactly how i make it anyways lol but adopted myself into the Hercules family nonetheless! Love you all!
Instead of using a notebook, find a large wallpaper sample book and fancy up the outside cover to use as a guest/visitor registration book! It’ll be grand and colorful !
I absolutely love the page and everything looks amazing. Wanted to buy, but $25.05 for a 8oz bag of blue raspberry hard candy shipped. I didn't mind the 9.99$ price for the bag I see the love and joy and all the hard work yall do to make it im prepared to pay more than normal grocery store junk. But 15$ for ground shipping. Phew. Lost me there
Uauuu! Cada doce mais gostoso que outro. Pena que moro muito longe senão iria experimentar todos os sabores. Adoro assistir seus vídeos, parabéns. Sempre fico com àgua na boca!..
🍒🥤🍒🥤🍒 Such lovely woman & a fantastic 50th birthday present she gave herself. One she will always be thrilled about with fond memories. 🍬🍭🍬 I appreciate that we all got to see it along with anither nice vid'ya. I have been watching from the beginning also.. & you all never disappoint. Thanks very much. 🌻❤🌿🐞 Happy Summer from Pacific Northwest Washington U.S.A.
the term cola comes from the kola nut, from whose extract the first wave of carbonated soda pops took their base flavors in the 1800s. as opposed to sarsparilla. which is boiled sarsparilla root. now you know
I was not paying attention to what flavors they were until the very end when you guys said cherry cola...the whole time I thought it was sour cranberry cola and was thinking it was going to be amazing lol, then I heard cherry 😞🤦♀️
I looked away for like a second. It was really bright red and now it's brown.I'm like what happened.I didn't notice that now.She's mixing The cola. 7:52
Steve, i am happy you are able to provide so many things. Jobs, interest in the community, your dead beat son with a job,,,,, Why do your candies never feature coconut??? God bless to the women from the South
So the reason its called Starry now is because a tiktoker named Cierra Mistt sued the company over the name brand when the trademark had expired and she bought it. so now Cierra Mist owns the name Sierra Mist, and Pepsi Co changed the name to Starry. Theres no change to the flavor or anything. Just a matter of legal strong arming.
When they hit the hook with the hammer it releases the candy from the hook so that they can remove it for transport to the table without it becoming a sticky mess
The customer lady and her family were so excited! It must be an awesome feeling to know you're a part of people's happiness
It never gets old 🥹
@@HerculesCandy I completely agree with you.

No, you guys are!
❤❤❤
That fan is the embodiment of joy, I love her. That just shows you guys what kind of a wholesome audience you're developing. ❤
I love that Julia knew who she was and stopped to go say hello to her. What a beautiful spirit that woman has. Thank you all for sharing sweet candy and kind-hearted people with us ❤
I was amazed she actually came in!!! She was the sweetest human alive 💜
Omg she (customer) was just so beautiful, but I agree with her you all make so many people happy all over the world.
Thank you so much!
That customer was so sweet!! I’ve also been watching from very early on and have been able to visit the shop twice. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. The customer service is unmatched. Truly an amazing experience ❤️❤️
one of my dreams on my bucket list is to go visit their shop

You should make root beer float ribbon candy and make the stripe out of cream.
Yesssss
This really highlights the best part of the internet bringing people together. It's awesome

Been so long since I teared up from sheer joy and not just laughter, that I guess I forgot what it feels like.
That lady was PRECIOUS!!!! Hope you had a great birthday!!!❤🎉
How sweet are those customers? 😍 We love y'all down here in Tennessee, too! ❤
Tennessee fan here too!!! 🧡🧡🧡

What a way to spend your 50th. I went to the movie with my sons. That was great too. Looks delicious!

My order and my free cluster arrived earlier this week and the chocolate is amazing ❤❤❤
Oh that trio of ladies are just too cute and so relatable! Hope we get to visit one day 😊
Happy birthday to the customer 🎉🎉

Well thank you so much for supporting our family business! I'm so glad everything arrived perfectly and that you've enjoyed all the candy!
aww thats so sweet the family meeting and greeting customers, yall are awesome :)
You folks really do make sooooooooo many people happy by just sharing the every day things you do at your shop. Thank you

Awww she’s the sweetest thing in the shop today! Happy birthday!!! 🍭
Complete happiness!!! ❤❤❤❤ Thank you for such peaceful and happy content.
Why do i find making hard candy so satisfying!? Enjoying the videos. Makes me want to make/ enjoy some candy
Loved the fan interaction, she's just saying how we all feel 😄
It's very interesting that the woman in the shop visiting goes to bed watching your videos. Because I do the very same thing I Love the family running the buisness from generations back. And the passion that Steve has for his family history.
The lady is correct! The Hercules videos helped maintain my sanity during covid, so once the travel bans had lifted, I made a pilgrimage (4 hour drive from Waterford, Canada) to Syracuse to meet Steve & Terry in person.
And we're so glad you made the pilgrimage!
Vanilla cola would be awesome in the soda pop mix.
Hope you had an amazing birthday!
Isn't it crazy to feel like a celebrity? You guys have fans! What a great and also crazy feeling. I would feel so awkward
That's exactly how I felt when I visited you all...just like that woman - very excited. She is correct, you do make a lot of people happy!! Would love to see what those women ended up purchasing. Great new hard candy flavor by the way!!❤❤🍫
After years of watching you guys, (Been watching yall since I was 19, I'm 26 now) I finally got to put me an order in for your candy
It is so satisfying to watch you all make these treats
Hahaha loved the little bit at the end of the video of Terry being goofy 😂
Julie is such a sweet heart
I BEEN HERE SINCE THE BASEMENT OG.
Same here.
I agree with your customer/fan ..its so relaxing to watch your videos❤
20:43 : i'm hearing "WELCOME TO CANDY MOOOOUUNNNTAIN" in my head now :')
Charrrrlie!
OohGod!! I LLOOOVE The Lady @ the End of Video!! 🤣😂😅 You Just MADE My Day, LADY!! 🤣😂😅
Ordered the Summer Soda candy after seeing the video and it was the BEST hard candy I have ever had!!!!!! LOVED IT!!!!!!
I feel just like that sweet lady. I hope to meet all of you as well. I’m still loving my cheesecake bark and white chocolate covered almonds. Thanks for making videos and your kindness. Kris from Jupiter FL❤
You go Julia! You’ve that candy pulling mastered! It’s an art form.
😍❤️
You guys should make a cream soda and a Vanilla Coke one to go in with the other cola flavors.
Idk how we would do cream soda 🤔 but vanilla coke would be relatively easy
I would sooo be like that fan lady , super starstruck , and probably emotional, love this chocolate family.❤❤❤❤🇳🇿 love from NZ
The mixing of the flavors is a kaleidoscope of sensory joy.
I dunno but yea I would definitely try the cherry cola. Just been going through my order of Fruit and Friendly. So far I've been quite impressed with the intensity of the flavors.
Haha the ending😂😂 I’d definitely do citric acid in the cola next time. Cola usually contains a few types of citrus.
Is it just baking soda or do you have citric acid in there as well?
Citric acid in the cherry and baking soda in the cola!
Here in the UK we used to have cola cubes. Love ❤️ seeing Julie.
Great job Julia, the wormy dirt bark looks yummy😋!!
A thought about the oreo's🤔 maybe a mixture of finely crushed & chunky cut would give it the 'bang' you're looking for. Either way, it looks tasty from here🎉😊 keep up the great work!
My favorite flavor is cherry and orange flavors together. It tastes like fruit punch. I love your show. I wish I had the extra money to order some.
Mixing the candy at the end, idk for me sounded so relaxing
I'm a basement OG. Found you after searching for a decent truffle recipe ... found the secret family recipe...was hooked from the get-go only to find its exactly how i make it anyways lol but adopted myself into the Hercules family nonetheless! Love you all!
That is so sweet.
That looks delicious!
You should try it!
Looks and sounds yummy!

That made me cry. Total agreement!❤
Ooh.. that pour asmr sounded great
I think us long time viewers feel like we are apart of the Hercules family
I have thought of a few flavors that would be awesome. Strawberry and Kiwi together. Watermelon and dragon fruit. Honey dew and cantaloupe.
Just grabbed a bag along with strawberry banana Hard candy and Green apple Caramel filled Ribbon. Whole family can't wait till it gets here.
🍒🥤🍒🥤🍒 Such lovely woman & a fantastic 50th birthday present she gave herself. One she will always be thrilled about with fond memories. 🍬🍭🍬

U guys rock
No u
Everyone is always so careful and neat with their work… then you got this one so careless and not focused.
Mama said there'd be days like this
What kind of metal spatulas/scrapers do you use to scrape out the kettle?
3:06 oooo candy lava 🌋
I bet that blue behind soda or ramune soda would be delicious candy flavors.
I love watching your channel.
the term cola comes from the kola nut, from whose extract the first wave of carbonated soda pops took their base flavors in the 1800s. as opposed to sarsparilla. which is boiled sarsparilla root. now you know
Ok I have to stop on my way from Rochester to the 1000 Islands this summer. I just have to!
Honestly Kim it would be downright irresponsible if you didn't!
I was not paying attention to what flavors they were until the very end when you guys said cherry cola...the whole time I thought it was sour cranberry cola and was thinking it was going to be amazing lol, then I heard cherry 😞🤦♀️
The brown could be root beer, too.
Need a tumbler mixer for the hard candy mixes.
I looked away for like a second.
It was really bright red and now it's brown.I'm like what happened.I didn't notice that now.She's mixing The cola. 7:52
Steve, i am happy you are able to provide so many things. Jobs, interest in the community, your dead beat son with a job,,,,, Why do your candies never feature coconut??? God bless to the women from the South

Theres no change to the flavor or anything. Just a matter of legal strong arming.
Interesting to know, thank you!
It definitely tastes different.
LOLZ BASEMENT DAY'S The SLAB TABLE
Have you ever tried tropical flavors of the exotic type? (I.e. dragonfruit/mango or jackfruit/plantain)
Mmmmmm Root beer is brown.....! You should do fizzie Root beer and vanilla ice creamy flavors(brown and white) like a root beer float!!!
cola candy sounds so good.
Delicious cherry Coca-Cola. Absolutely delicious. I've said this for I'll say it again. It is definitely an art.
Nice flavor Yum ❤
Just ordered me some!
I know you'll love it!
Fantastic idea for a candy your going to sell out
Ditto! That lady is telling the truth!
Whats the point of hammering the hook
It sends vibrations through the hook which loosens the candy easier
Do you make any ginger candies??
I might buy that if it had actually ginger in it and not just a flavor.
I love cola flavored anything.
What is the hammer tapping for? Every time I watch I go crazy trying to figure it out lol
When they hit the hook with the hammer it releases the candy from the hook so that they can remove it for transport to the table without it becoming a sticky mess
