How Rubber Bands Are Made

The process of making rubber bands starts with kneading rubber to soften it into dough. This dough is rolled into wide, thin pieces for it to eventually be cut and shaped into bands.

It's so much work for something we all consider so simple. It's an eye opener.

Weird to see how much goes into something so small that we tend to loose in a matter of seconds

Me : **Looking at my jar of rubber bands**
Me : Man, you’ve been through some stuff.

Honestly, let’s go back to tying bundles together with string. I’m concerned about the health and safety of these workers. Talcum powder is cancerous and that much exposure can’t be good

“What are you baking today? I saw you making dough.”

Nothing like starting your day with a video of how rubber bands are made.

Me at 11pm: Ok I really need to go to sleep

Me at 3am: *_why does it look like spaghetti_*

[goliathprojects]

The most simple and overlooked things in our everyday life can have such interesting ways of production behind them. I'm fascinated everytime

No one:
YouTube algorithm: wanna know how rubber bands are made?
Me: *sigh* ok fine

[geeklette]

I've never seen someone do something more smoothly than the guy whipping the tubes off the poles and into the bin

[familychannel]

After watching this, I appreciate rubber bands more than I did before

Me- “I’ll go to sleep early tonight!”
Also me-*watches how rubber bands are made at 2am*

I'd just like to point out that most of those workers are not wearing masks while talcum powder is flying in the air. That stuff is horrible for your lungs.

After watching all of this hard work, breaking a rubber band has never seemed so awful🤣🤣

[IronVigilance]

My brain: Eat it.

Me: It's not edible.

My Brain: Do it.

[rebekahlusko]

Honestly can’t remember ever buying rubber bands.

There’s always just a rubber band ball lying around.

[Mairas.Labyrinth]

I feel so bad that the workers have to breathe that stuff in!

[harrypotter]

YouTube: Do you wanna know how are rubber bands made?
Me: not really...
YouTube: Enjoy.

I'm surprised by the degree of human involvement in what I thought would be an almost completely automated process.

I know that the safety regulations that most western nations have would not allow such a setup to exist. I literally saw that hand slip into this roll thing there
