My wife and I travelled from Canada pretty much just to come to the store. Seven hour drive after our cruise in Fort Lauderdale to see the Lofty Pursuits adventure. So glad to have been able to not only see candy made but a video made. That derpy guy in a blue shirt at 8:30 is me. Thanks for the great experience Greg and all the Lofty staff. Highly recommended to anyone near Tallahassee "right off the Thomasville road exit of the I10."

i was expecting cocoa powder to foof everywhere when you took it to the hook!

This man is the most wholesome person ever. I wish more people were like him. No drama, just pure enjoyment

“Hard Candy Turducken”, a virtually unknown Dolly Parton B-side.

Hey Greg, just a heads up about umami- it's actually a sneaky extra taste! (Sour, sweet, salty, bitter, umami!) It's described as being a "tasty" or savoury taste, almost meaty, associated with glutamate. Think soy sauce, anchovies, yeast extract, Worcestershire sauce, tomatoes, beef stew and mushrooms, like porchini or shitake.

His voice is like so nice to listen to. You can hear the love and passion for his craft as he talks about it and you can see it in the candy he makes. It's just so enjoyable and refreshing to watch.

Bwahaha! I changed my notification sound on my phone to the Warcraft orc saying "work complete" & it went off at the end of the video. Too funny! Never heard of Sweet Day, but it works for me, LOL!

This channel deserves way more attention. Just listening to an episode of Greg and the background music will cure stress.

Your voice brings me calmness. It's much appreciated. I'm in Australia, I just got home from an evac centre. Watching this was the break I needed, thankyou

The chocolate drops are amazing. I'll be honest, I was expecting a mouth full of coco powder but instead it had this unique mouth feel in between chocolate and hard candy. Really hope you guys make it a main stay.

The spatula eye view was so satisfying 😊😊😊

The one thing I like about the Lofty Pursuits videos is this: They show you how they make the candy.

I want to thank you, these videos are so peaceful and relaxing and I love the tid bits of historical information you add in some of your videos like the black current video, I’ve got my wife hooked on your videos to and most nights we fall asleep to the voice of lofty pursuits and public displays of confection. We are from Kentucky, use to live in georgia, and visiting your shop in person with our boys, watching candy being made the old fashion way and having fresh candy is on of our top 3 bucket list items. Thank you so much for your videos.

I LOVED the chocolate cherry hard candies I got!! The chocolate was perfect! Tasted like a cup of cocoa! But it massively overpowered the cherry. I'm REALLY tempted to get this selection.

Y’all need to make a peanut butter and jelly candy rnnnnn

Umami is an actual taste, also called "savory", with specific taste buds, and it comes from things like MSG and disodium guanylate. It is not mouthfeel. Or was umami not the word he used?

Sweet Day is on my Birthday! What a great thing to find out! I love the candies that showed up in by stocking from Lofty Pursuits this year.

Love watching them take the metal bars off and seeing the cooled part of the candy before being pulled up and poured again.

My wife ordered a bunch of candy for me Christmas and you sent a couple small bags of black cherry chocolate. It was amazing. I was watching this video and eating the last off it. I cannot wait to order more. Also got some spearmint candy canes that were amazing! Keep up the great work!!

The appearance of this candy is uniquely reminiscent of days gone by. Beautiful. The difference between Hercules Candy and Lofty Pursuits is like night and day, not putting down Hercules Candy. Both techniques are wonderful in their own crafty ways. Love you all.

KZfaq is not weird showing videos without the notification on. Its just the users using it wrong. I use the subscription feed as homepage, and i've never missed any videos at all from subscribed channels.

Just got our candy order. I can't believe how good they are. Thanks a bunch from Ottawa Canada.

I always watch these videos but I don't even eat candies and chocolate or cookies or anything sweet. But I find it interesting to hear the stories and facts about origins of the candies.

incredible cinematography, all looks so great

Okay, these camera angles are EVERYTHING. Thank you for blessing my eyes

Came by the shop on our way through Tallahassee a couple weeks ago and had some great ice cream and got some candy! Had been wanting to come by for so long and finally made it happen!

The unbroken drops reminded me of a keyboard... I wonder if it would be possible to make fake candy keyboards this same way. I think that would be interesting

If it's a Mishka that brings the sweets I'm pretty sure the Sweet day comes from Russia because I think I once have heard that Mishka is russian and translates to teddybear

That's my birthday!! It's about the day when the credit card bills are due from Christmas purchases... so finally something sweet about my birthday!

In Japan they have what is called "White day" one month after Valentine's, March 14. That's when the guys who recieved chocolate on Val gives the girl he likes white chocolate.

My favorite hard candy is when they have the fruit in the middle chewy. Something to look forward to when you are sucking a hard candy. I love ANYTHING with fruit flavors like raspberry! So good!

Sweetest Day is an original American holiday not based on any group's religious tradition. ... Legend has it that Sweetest Day was established around 1922 by Herbert Birch Kingston, a Cleveland, Ohio candy company employee who wanted to bring happiness to the lives of those who often were forgotten.

I wish I could try some... went to order and it was $33 shipping to Australia 😂 maybe one day

that was so satisfying when the scraper hit the drops 😍

In the future, I think a chocolate lime candy would be amazing!

Will you in future make a banana chocolate candy? this is my favourite sweet flavor combo ever since i ate a Banana Chocolate Crepe in the Bretagne (France) Happy new year to the crew at Lofty Pursuits and all the fans around the world

I bet the swept up flash off the table when you're done breaking it up is going to taste amazing on ice cream.

I really love the spatula eye view. That was very cool.

Weather man is predicting 40 below zero for sweet day where i live in International Falls MN this could really brighten our day.

I gotta say I love the old music you play on your videos!

I always love the background music. It's the best there is!

love your video. manage to get a 3 , 5 and 10 year old to calm down because they wanted to watch with me 🤣. thanks

Just encounter this channel & gotta say its nice. The voice, story & candy. I almost thought it was one of those asmr videos that puts you to sleep... 😊👍

I loved the chocolate cherry sample I got. And I can't wait to try the other flavors.

Ordered half way through the video. We can’t wait. Such beautiful sweetness! :)k

If i ever travel to the states, a visit to Tallahassee and the lofty pursuits shop is top priority. I really enjoy these videos, all the best wishes from Chile :)

I figured chocolate orange would be a good combo back on the black Friday video. Definitely going to try the assortment.

Ohhhhh, this would be amazing, and one with peanut butter as well as the chocolate raspberry would be so yummy!

The lighting at a few points makes it look more like a peanut butter and jelly candy than a raspberry chocolate one.

Greg is the perfect stereotype of a guy who works at a candy shop. Nicest dude ever

I kept going "wheeeeeeee" during the spatula eye view. Hehe. Loved this!

Hahaha! A hard candy turducken, cool! What a lovely idea for a day, Sweet day. You make excellent videos!

I loved the chocolate cherry flavor- I hope to get my hands on this eventually.

Anyone watching in 2020 ?

Umami is a rich, savory flavor. It has nothing to do with texture.

I can’t help but think making all this candy with its weight gives you the forearm muscles of a god

These turned out looking great.

Omg that sounds wonderful!

Sounds like sweet day came from somewhere up in the far north were winter nights are a lot colder and a lot longer. A little bit of sugar would definitely lift the mood of being in an environment like that.

i tried some with the black friday code, and it was really good, but the batch i had was mostly chocolate flavored and almost no raspberry, but still great

its so satisfying to see the candy rolling through the press :D

Super cool. I love the spatula view.

I love it when people's project come to fruition and succeed 😄

This channel always makes me smile. I really want to try making my own candy .

Love the spatula eye view!

Ohhhh these look amazing! Love the idea,

That sounds like a nice holiday sweet day

Thank you so much for your awesome work, Greg, we cannot wait to order more from your store!! James, Ontario, Canada

i think campinos or werthers made creamy chocolate hard candy, like 20 years ago. if i knew they were going to disappear, i would've bought a life supply.

Oooh, chocolate orange will be really yummy.

This looks absolutely delicious !!! Cant wait to try this one !!! Gonna order online asap !!!

Love the spatula view!

Should make a mystery chocolate lot

Managed to snag a bag of these with my order at the end of April. They have quickly become the favorite of both my fiance and me. Hope you bring them back later in the year.

These look amazing! If you make these again I’ll need to order some. I’m a huge fan from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. I love your videos.

I think a peanut butter and jelly one would sound good! Or be the first shop to make a Nutella candy! Love y’all’s videos! God Bless & happy New Years!

Lovely videos, been following this channel since forever! Sending love from Brazil 🇧🇷

Having one of these as I watch this, and I gotta say they're awesome

Those look so delectable 👀 when we take a vacation to the beach, we’re coming there. 😂

so satisfying to watch ur videos for some reason...

Thank you for answering the question about what you do with those big club-like knobs that you pull off of the candy. I was thinking I would like to buy those. But I'm glad to hear that they get worked back into the batch.

I would love to try this one. The black Friday chocolate cherry ones were so good!

A pleasure as always

Been watching the videos for a while good job I can tell y'all have got better

I find so much satisfaction in this

Loved the spatula view

Greg I love your videos and I always can’t wait till you next one keep up the good work

Omg, loved the spatula eye view 😂😍

i like the spatula view while breaking the drops, i can pretend they’re being scooped into my mouth lol

omg this showed up on my feed on sweet day happy sweet day

In México we have a peanut candy that's made kinda like this chocolate ones. Folding peanut butter into the hot candy and making layers.

I am.gonna need this in my life.

Your voice is so calming

What an amazing job, bet you just love going to work every day.

The Interstellar USB parody video brought me here. This is great!

If you ever do another assortment like this or add additional flavors, You should do chocolate and apricot or peach. There is this lovely South Australian Candy called FruChocs that utilizes milk chocolate and fresh stone fruit in the middle the combination is unexpected, but delightful! I'd love to experience that again!

Hi Greg! You have to come to Victoria, Australia and go to Sovereign Hill in Bendigo. Its all about the Gold Rush out here and tells the history of it all. There is candy making, candle making, panning for gold etc etc I think you would enjoy it.

I’m laying in bed with a newly popped back in place shoulder bored out of my mind and I saw this and got very excited

My birthday is on Sweets Day! Makes sense why I have a sweet tooth then. Love the videos! Looking forward to the black currant Altoid sours

On January 14 here the sun was out and I wasn't even snowing lol looks good love ur videos
