Anyone else find it mesmerising when the labels were being applied to the jars. It was rapidly working its way through jar after jar yet the complete Dukes logo was always visible and perfectly centred.

[Viscool]

I always wanted to know how this great instrument was made

[dhustinjay]

4:01 amazing how machines remain consistent making the logo look like it's not moving😮

[zorafm]

0:39 they didn't retake despite the fact their finger got covered in mayo, that's great I approve.

Natural Flavors is a very broad term under FDA regulations. As long as something is derived from a natural product it can be listed ambiguously on the label under "natural flavoring". The natural flavors in duke's mayonnaise are very likely to be soy derived lecithin and yeast derived amino acids and salts. The lecithin helps emulsify the mayonnaise (you couldn't make mayo in a large vat like that without added emulsifiers) and the yeast extract provides a savory taste. To replicate these ingredients in the home one can add Dijon mustard and msg to their mayonnaise before emulsification. Soy lecithin is also available online, but can be challenging to work with.

I would have never guessed an entire train car would carry soybean oil. So cool

[PILOSOPAUL]

4:04 I've never seen anything more satisfying in my life

[rickygkilla]

I find it cool how ingredients come in raw containers. I always thought it was just gallons of stuff in pallets

[Bob-dprs]

Mayonnaise is the best musical instrument out there

[renofumi]

I always love watching factory walkthrough like this, always give me a good amount of information

[Mondo_Monchi]

As someone who cleans theses types of products & machines daily, I still find the whole process extremely satisfying. Kraft Heinz operates very similarly in our Sauce & Dressing factory. When I first started I was amazed at how vinegar & pasteurized ingredients really go a long way in preservation. We have QA checks at every point in production and my factory constantly hits the metric of getting it right the first time, 98.7% of the time thanks to the process.

4:00 one of the most satisfying ones ever

[Hawk]

My boy loaded that sandwich heavy on the mayo, damn

[leolipasti]

4:00 Can’t we agree it just looks so satisfying how the logo stands at one spot

[RinSyuveil]

I like how they showed the easy squeeze mayo container in the viscosity shot but that was the one container they did not show getting made like the other 2

[ashleynichole]

I live in Greenville, SC which is where Duke's is made. So awesome, a lot of our schools take fieldtrips to tour the factory, I remember going in the 90's lol. We also have Duke's sandwich shops, where you can get sandwiches made with fresh mayo as well as things like their egg salad, chicken salad, pimento cheese, blt's, even hot dogs or soups. If you love duke's you'd enjoy eating there.

[veepeecee]

Wow that’s crazy how it works. I’m glad they still do “How it’s made”

[superdave]

Can't wait for the "how it's actually made" version of this one 😂

[slick_link]

I love Duke’s mayonnaise. There is just nothing like that flavor, that you just can’t get from another brand.

[MoogieB]

It’s quite easy to make mayo at home with a good stick blender. But I love watching factories in action!
