  1. How do they not poison people with the citric acid on the bronze? There is a toxic chemical reaction when acidic foods touch bronze.

  2. aye this man knows his business and the way the younger guys worked the candy was great training. man women you need us

  3. You are one unique human and candy store owner! I love the way you absolutely love what you do right down to the science of it and every single detail! ❤❤❤

  4. The candies look amazing and I feel pedantic for saying this but Uri really needs to tie his hair back.

  5. respectable craft. Just if the produce wasnt so unhealthy. If I ate this stuff I would have to spend hours on a treadmill. Sadly its easier just to eat less sugar.

  6. Dude, this one video has completely changed my life. I saw this almost three years ago, and I’ve wanted to make candy ever since.

  7. Very informative and interesting, just wondering why the young man had his hair hanging down and not pulled back or netted. Not very appetizing
