Curiosity topic-8 How Candycanes are made

Factory-workers start by cooking up a batch of sugar, water and corn syrup. Then, they prepare a mix of starch and flavouring, like peppermint or strawberry. As they blend together, the flavouring binds to the starch. The flavouring mix is emptied into the middle of a syrupy slab. Then, the whole thing is put into a machine the folds the batch repeatedly, using shovels and a plunger. This distributes the flavouring evenly. After that, a worker moves it to a machine called automated pullers. These pullers stretch the mixture around a metal post. The candy is then rolled into a fat log, while heaters warm it until it pliable enough to shape. Next, strips of red coloured candy are rolled out. A worker stretches and folds it widen the strip. Two red strips are arranged on either side of the white candy. it's rolled into a cylinder roll the candy thinner and thinner. The candy rope moves through two angled belts that twist it. A chain of knives cut the twisted rope to candy cane size.
