Whenever I see these "How it's made"-videos, i always end up thinking "How did whoever invented these things manage to discover it?"

[thsone]

I always wonder when watching any of these vids: wat the hell was going thru the person's mind when they figured out this entire process!? Where did they even start!?

[tigris]

Me before watching this: I wonder how sugar is made
After watching this: *even more confused than before

[TEMUJIN_official]

This video just motivated me to go from consuming less sugar to no sugar so thank you discovery 😅

Me throughout the process:

This is clean this is clean this is clean....

[jasminecharmane]

During this entire process, i completely forgot they're making sugar.

[ashleyhill]

Absolutely fascinating. Never knew it was a long process like this.

For all the effort of growing, harvesting, processing, energy, additives, it amazes me that sugar is so damn cheap

[smoker]

Thank you YouTube I always wanted to know how diabetes was made

Imagine the dude that had to figure all this out just becuase he wanted something sweet in his tea.

I work in a sugar beet processing plant and its very similar to the way the cane juice is processed. Our facility is a much bigger scale as we produce on average 1150 - 1250 tons of white sugar a day compared to their 400 ton a day in this video. Still pretty cool to see the difference/similarities.

me before watching the video: "how processed can it be, they just extract the cane juice and dry it out"
me after watching the video: "oh"

[imdgod]

Can't imagine their deadly daily battles against ants

[daniquecramer]

When I see these videos I always wonder if they ever clean the machines...

My mom is a chemical engineer and she spent her entire career in change of a quality control lab in a sugar mill. This brings me back to her and her stories. A lot of familiar terms

Me trying to sleep at 3 AM
My brain: wanna know how sugar made?

[bvp]

This all seems a bit too complicated. I prefer the simple sugarcane to sugar recipe from Minecraft

[FirstLast-cdvv]

This was *a lot* more elaborate than I ever thought.

Remember watching episodes of this in the middle of the night on TV. They'd show it all night whenever everything else was finished. I must've learned a lot subconsciously, but don't ask me to remember any of it lol.
