    I worked at one those “we’ll make you custom chocolates and candies with your branding on them” candy factories in college and it was about on the same level. Not bad but not worthy of “the best in the world”.

    On a side note, the micromints were the best product but worst to make. Absolutely covered in powdered sugar walking home in humid summer weather suuuucked. They really should have given me a smock to wear instead of me being in my street clothes.

      They should have for hygienic reasons, not even for your own comfort. Hell, I only did IT for places like that and they made me gown up and shit just to go onto the factory floors, and I wasn’t even working on anything even touching the machinery. Just entering the area was enough to make me have to gown up.

        Ya, apparently a hairnet and gloves were enough even though other employees were in full smocks and aprons. It was weird.
