"Central Pennsylvania is considered by many to be the snack food capital of the world," say the folks at Martin's Potato Chips in Thomasville, Pa., and judging by this video -- courtesy of our friends at the Pennsylvania Cable Network -- they've got the spuds to prove it. This 24-minute documentary shows the making of a potato chip from the raw potatoes' delivery at the plant to the packaged chips' placement grocery store shelves. Martin's process captures the complexity and attention to detail inherent in food processing in America today. And what's this? Martin's Potato Chips have flown on Air Force One? That's a trivia fact to be proud of. - How Play Homes Are Made
Lilliput Play Homes of Finleyville, Pennsylvania, was founded over ten years ago by Stephen Chernicky, after building one of these for his daughter Alyssa. He decided right then and there to make a go of it and more than a decade later, he's still at it, selling small-sized homes for kids. Some of these, as you'll see, have amenities and decorations that would rival those of big (i.e., normal-size) houses.The video jumps off to a quick start showing the CNC (for "computer numerical control") routers, then a more detailed human touch, framing (just like a real house) and shipping. Through it all, you'll see -- as with any manufacturer -- a lot of technology, a lot of TLC and attention to detail. - How Hershey's Kisses Are Made (Part 2)
Part Two of our video on how Chocolate Is Made - How Hershey's Kisses Are Made (Part 1)
Manufacturing may not be the first thing on the minds of those celebrating Valentine's Day this coming week, but many of the holiday's confectionary traditions come courtesy of American manufacturers of all sizes. This week's video takes us to Hershey, Pennsylvania, where we see how Hershey Kisses are made -- from the milk truck through the production process to the iconic foil wrapping known by generations of Americans. We feature a wide range of manufactured goods on this space (from candy to aircraft carriers), but you'll find a lot of similarities in these videos -- skilled professionals, high technology, and quality products. Those are traits shared by American manufacturers and what makes them global leaders. For those of you who may have more of a "Willy Wonka" notion of the inside of a chocolate factory, Hershey's Chocolate World on the grounds of the Hershey campus is a favorite for many families who either live in the area or are visiting. In the summertime, adjacent Hersheypark, a 110-acre amusement park, can help work off some of the sweets. Valentine's Day, family fun, and tasty treats -- all brought to you in part by great American manufacturer Hershey Company. - How a Sleeper Mattress Is Made (Part 2)
