also my friends went to Public Displays Of Confection and brought back candy and!!!! the acid drops are so good!!!!!!!!!!!
if you are near florida pls go to Lofty Pursuits, the candy is worth it
if you are not near florida, may i recommend their youtube of Man Pleasantly Explains Making Candy As He Shows You The Candy He's Making because it's like bob ross but sugar and also domestic/culinary history (my acid drops are from a machine made in the 1800s!!!)
this is one of their older videos but this is the exact roller!!!!!!! date of 1871!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvI0WJrJmho SEEING MOLTEN SUGAR GET SMOOSHED THROUGH IT IS EXTREMELY SATISFYING
also honestly, if you are even vaguely fascinated with glassblowing or things like glass rods/millefiori glass, watch some image candy being made! it's really cool to see the image getting built up - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkHq4MvPW5c i think he also puts up a little diagram showing what bit he's making as well these days
