I walked to Chapman’s Pharmacy everyday for a lime sour after school when I went to Hapeville High School in the late 1960’s. After watching this great video I am going to get my daughter and my Grandaughter and return to Chapman’s to get a lime sour next week. We live about 30 minutes away but it will be well worth it to go. I can hardly wait, I hope that I don’t cry when I get there due to all of the fond memories. I didn’t know that it was still there until watching this video, thank you for sharing. ♥️🥰😍😘

The salt works by interfering with the bitterness of the lime. Without that bitterness, you can taste the small amount of sugar that lime juice contains.

This is wholesome as hell. It's like Bob Ross and Bill Nye opened a soda shop with Rick Steves.

Hi Lofty Pursuits -- growing up in India, this was a common drink. Ice came in only if you bought the drink from your neighborhood cart vendor (hawker) . The other difference is that we used black salt instead of sea salt.

I want to drive to lofty pursuits in florida and be like, hi I'm from the internet, please create some candy wonders for me.

Very interesting to learn about long forgotten food and beverages.

As an Englishman I bend a knee to you Americans when it comes to this kind of thing. You smash this out the park. Very jealous. Xx

The lime sour is also a traditional drink in Pakistan called limca its ussually topped with chaat masala or tajin seasoning

4:14 I love how he sprinkles the salt and you can hear bells in the background. It like sprinkling magic into the cup xD

Have you ever tried to make candy that looks like glass marbles? That would be cool

I've actually ordered a bag of this candy, and I just got it today: Absolutely delicious!

People talk about Coca-Cola acid all the time, that is why it is so bad for your teeth, and it dissolves rust and stuff. However the salt and acid info is great to know because my dad would put salted peanuts in a Coke and drink it. Right before he passed he acted like he was addicted. Now that I realize it deals with the dry mouth it make sense.

Ordered some of this candy when I first watched the video when it came out, absolutely worth it tastes better then described I am typing this as I wrote and much worth the wait given the fact I am from Oregon and I am one of hundreds of customers this small shop must ship to I am very pleased with it and my only regret is not having ordered any more!

Oh, good, its my favorite hook. You know you're a crazy person when you have a favorite hook at Lofty Pursuits...

Nobody: Greg: Betcha can't guess why they're called drops

Im coming to see you in a few months time, all the way from New Zealand!

Happy Valentines Day!Greg!Thankyou for another great video and Candy.💚❤💚❤💚❤💚

My dad and I own and operate Victorian woodworking machinery and it totally blows my mind to see and learn about Victorian candymaking equipment as well. Will definitely be visiting on my next trip to Florida!

His smile at 7:04 makes my day every time I watch this video. It really is evident that you are in love with your work and have a real passion for it, and I love that.

I love how educational and relaxing and fun your videos are! Happy Valentine's Day y'all!

I love the mom & pop vibe of your videos and the places you visit. Everything around me is a big name brand corporation.

Hey thanks for making these videos, I have bad anxiety that sometimes prevents me from sleeping but these wholesome vids help me to calm down and sleep I really appreciate what your doing

I love how when you say your location it’s just a smooth couple of words and then your back to whatever your talking about. That’s freakin* awesome

What do you think about strawberry-basil flavoured candy? (the strawberry part tasting more like strawberry jam than the usual strawberry flavour of candy). I once tryed that combination in Brügge (Belgium) and fell in love with it. I never found candy with that flavour again. Back then it was pillow-shaped with red, green and white stripes, but you could do amazing image candy with that colour combo too. I would love to see your take on that! : )

My dad makes what he calls homemade Gatorade using lime juice and salt. It's to help fight his cramps.

Candy in the morning oh yeaaa

I recently ordered these, along with the Tangerine Sours and Peach Image candy, and I can definitely say that these are the best hard candies I've ever tasted. Tasted like a lime, along with the fizziness you'd expect from a soda. Currently the online store is sold out of most of their candies, but when they restock I'm definitely gonna buy these again. Along with others I wanna try like the Black Currant drops.

This video was interesting enough that after it ended I went and ordered some candy! Love the history behind this flavor, and all the information you included with it.

Such a cool machanism with the lime-salt mixture

Hey Greg, I’m just a regular high school student, and the stress that comes with all of it can be almost crippling. Somehow, your videos always manage to relax my mind and just let me completely “cool off”. Thank you so much for everything you do, and I hope I can come visit you the next time I go to Florida!

This is up there with Townsend's. Legitimately one of the best channels. No only is it educational it's also an 11/10 on the ASMR chart

Your videos are so uncommon in the best way. Informative, soothing and wholesome. I like my kids can watch these and learn something and not have to cover their ears. We always think of y'all during hurricane season. We live on the Carolina coast, so we keep our eyes on the storms just like y'all do. I hope to come to see your store one day! ❤

I never heard of lime sours before this video and I've made them on several occasions since. Thank you. Definitely need that salt. They are delicious.

dude my mouth was watering when i saw them limes

You are a master of your art.

Love your videos !! So informative and happy !! Thanks for taking the time to teach us !

Great video I love how intrested and genuine you are !

I like sour hard candy. This looks like a winner.

this is such a pure channel. just a guy with a love for candy and making people happy sharing his interest!

He sounds so whimsical. I love it

Make a whole video just dropping drop candy. That was satisfying!

this candy is amazing, I also bought the nectar drops and some madness, they are all amazing!~

I just love how this company takes an amazing soft drink and incorporates its traits into an even better Candy. Thank you, to all you guys working there at Lofty Pursuits.

The quality, depth of knowledge and passion for the history of the topics on this channel are beyond inspiring. Thanks for being awesome and I can't wait to try these in my order!

just got done watching the rose video and wanted to see if we had anthing new too watch...BOOM uploaded 5 mins ago

I would LOVE to try these but I live in the Netherlands and shipping fees are like 85 dollars alone. So sadly not an option.

I always love how excited and passionate he is.

i used to watch this channel everyday to fall asleep freshman year and then i lost your account, now i’m a senior and i’ve finally found you again i’m so happy

coke isn't refreshing to me tho, it actually dries my mouth and makes it rough also happy valentines hope you have a great day

Vietnam loves this drink! If you have some Vietnamese restaurants near you, check this drink out

Out of all the candy I have tried from you, this is 100% my favorite. Please don't ever stop making it.

I swear, I'm addicted to watching these videos, and watching the candy drop gives me LIFE! Thank you, Greg, for sharing these wonders!

Do you guys bottle your own sodas? I think they'd do pretty well.

you should make workshops with people in your shop, or sell "make your own candy" tickets. (if you are not already doing it) people would love to experience your work themselves! ;-) please make a candy that looks like my lime-green/white swirly logo :D

Thank you so much for showing the old soda fountains.....with your platform, you can really help to keep these historical places alive!

Listening to the description of that drink, my mouth just started watering.

I have a severe cola addiction, 2 liters a day. Cola is NOT something you drink to quench your thirst lmfao. It dehydrates you.

Learning about classic regional drinks is very interesting! I had a totally unrelated question though. So, I’ve become addicted to your channel, and decided to go back to the very beginning. To my surprise, it wasn’t you narrating, but a young man. Whatever happened to him? Was it his shop before or was he just doing the videos for you?

After watching this channel for some time now, I ordered some of this and two other flavors, and got them yesterday. I was not disappointed with the quality of the candies nor the flavors. Thank you for putting up these videos. Watching you make candies for all this time is what inspired me to order from you and I love what I got.

I respect that your doing your best to keep a oldschool tradition alive realy like your channel sir.

I would've added a hint of peppermint as the ice substitute.

an anatomically correct heart candy in cherry flavor. Think it's possible?

You are the most wholesome man in the universe & all of these videos are seriously so soothing.

I love how much information these videos bring, keep it up

me: :( greg: and you'll understand in a minute why they call them drops! me: :)

I really like the nerdy science and history bits added to these videos. Those are what keeps me coming back. But how come you never have any videos about making drops with licorice and/or anise? Are those just impossible to sell in your country? If they’re somewhat unpopular, compared to in European countries, then that could perhaps be the basis for a nerdy lecture in culinary history...

I have to be honest, sometimes I don't even watch the video, the narration is just so chill and easy-going.

Dropping is always my favourite part of these videos. It is so pleasing to watch.

Lime is an underappreciated flavour. I hate this cheap green apple crap. Even skittles is ruined now.

Love this candy, just got it in the mail, so good, the carbonation is great, love the sour taste! All the videos are great! Thank you!

This is amazing. Absolutely lovely.

I like how you find inspiration from other treats and incorporate it into new candies, it's really interesting.

Man I respect his hard work as he does it with joy.

so cool to watch the process of the candy being made. thanks for sharing with us!

I love that your content is not just about candy making anymore. It's got science and how people come up with flavors and history even. I love this channel as much as I love sour drinks and candies. I wish I could try the candies you make one day.

Love this bit of history. Your voice is so soothing! 😍

You can really sense your passion and love for this stuff, and it makes your videos absolutely amazing. Can't stop watching, and I really want to try this candy now!

I love the little bits of food history in some of these videos. The banana flavored one from ages ago got me hooked on this channel.

I love watching these while in a bad mood. Greg always puts a smile on my face~ 😄

These are the most fascinating and relaxing videos, I could fall asleep listening to you!

I love that I always learn stuff when I watch your videos!

I loves these videos, they take me back to a simpler time, yet a time I was not a part of.

Next time I head down from SC I'm going to have to drop by, this channel has single handedly given me an obsession with traditional drinks and candy.

My mouth is watering so much while watching this. I love sour things so much and this seems right up my alley.

Got these today and they are excellent!! Really cool to be able to see how they are made and learn about where it came from.

I made one of these tonight. It was really good. Thanks for the recipe and videos.

Watching him drop the candy and see it separate into all the little candies is extremely satisfying. Almost ASMR.

I loved this candy! Can't waiit to buy some more!

Watching you drop that sheet of candy was super satisfying!

this channel makes me smile so much! this is so interesting

Thanks for the candy, it tastes AMAZING, your videos make it look a lot bigger than it was. So much flavor in such small pieces. They're perfect.

This video warmed my heart somehow.

I am so happy people like you are alive. awesome work. awesome job... dude you just awesome. keep it up.

Youre videos are fantastic and i totally enjoy watching you guys make what ever hard candies you make

I love how so many things inspire you to try new flavors 😁

My mouth is watering just thinking about this candy. I love lime.

Love your videos! So relaxing, mesmerizing and educational.

These episodes are always my favourite, the ones where we get to learn something new

I've been watching your show for a while now and I just love it. Your so informative and calm throughout. My mothers birthday just passed, and she absolutely insisted I don't get her anything... So of course I did what any obedient daughter does, I ordered this candy and a few others for her. I'm excited to see her reaction to them!

I love the amazing confection history!
