Практика Shadowing: I Made The World's Largest Chocolate Bar - Изучайте разговорный английский по видео

Nick: Chocolate is one of the most popular foods on the planet.

But did you know it all comes from this weird looking fruit shaped like a dinosaur egg? In this video, I'll take you from farm to factory to show you how chocolate is made, and at the end, we'll use all the chocolate you'll see in this video to attempt the Guinness World Record for the world's largest chocolate bar. And it all starts with the cacao tree. This right here is where it all begins.

This little flower here will eventually grow into a pod, which will eventually grow into something slightly bigger, then bigger, then even bigger, and then finally into something like this.

So yes, technically chocolate does grow on trees.

So now that you have some context on where cacao comes from, I'm going to introduce you to a really close friend of mine who I call the modern day Willy Wonka.

He's a little crazy, but he knows more about chocolate than anyone on this planet.

Oded: Hey, what's up? Nick: Oded!

Oded: You come to see some cacao?

Nick: I'm ready for chocolate, baby.

Oded: Let's go see it.

Nick: So these guys have already picked a bunch of pods for us to look at.

Oh my gosh! Cacao really kind of does look like a big ice cream cone.

The seeds can come right off of the cacao pod like that.

This is all going to be opened up now so they can take the seeds out.

Oded: There's no machine. All the chocolate that we eat is harvested by hand.

Nick: For the world record that we're going to attempt later in this video, we need 250,000 cacao pods. So this is just the start.

So you can eat this right now and you suck off all the white pulp on the outside of each seed.

Oded: When you don't dry the cacao beans, they are purple inside.

Nick: It tastes a little bit like lychee, pineapple, citrusy, kind of almost like a bit of a sour banana., sometimes. It's phenomenal.

There are two main things you can do with this cacao fruit.

Oded: You can drink the juice of the cacao fruit.

Nick: Think of cacao water like coconut water, but ten times better.

And then what's the other thing?

Oded: Obviously chocolate. You take the beans, ferment them, grind them, turn them into chocolate.

Nick: Let's go see how it's made.

Oded: That's it. Nick: Before we go to the actual chocolate factory, we're at the place where they make the cacao water.

Oded: We separate the pulp from the beans.

Beans goes to make chocolate. Pulp goes to make cacao water.

We put it into the cold press machine, getting all the cacao water out.

Nick: And that's going to be the freshest cacao water you'll ever taste? Oded: Ever. Nick: It looks a little like coconut water. It gives you a little bit of a kick that you get from biting a lemon slice, and it just tastes kind of tropical.

Chocolate is bitter, sometimes sour, earthy.

This is sweet, fresh, citrusy.

But never in a million years would you think that this kind of flavor is associated with chocolate. If you want to get creative, you can also turn this fruit pulp into cacao fruit leather, you guys know how much I love making fruit leather, or even these chewy cacao fruit snacks which look a lot like ground turkey while they're being made. But now that we've seen how you can use that fruity outer part of the beans, we'll go see how the inside of the bean is used to make chocolate.

We've made it to the chocolate factory and take a guess at what's in all these different bags around me. If you guessed cacao beans, you'd be right.

But these beans can't go inside the factory until they've been fermented and dried.

Fermenting the beans is an important step that allows them to develop all of that chocolatey flavor. In about a week, they'll go from looking like this to something like this.

Oded: You can smell their...

Nick: They smell a little bit...

Oded: Fermentation.

Nick: Yeah, like like a little bit like yeasty sourdough bread.

Oded: Exactly.

Nick: What would a chocolate bar taste like if you didn't ferment?

Oded: Very bland. Flat, probably just bitter.

Boring. Nothing like interesting.

And then you take this to the drying process.

Nick: Once all the cacao is laid out to dry, it just sits here in the hot Ecuadorian sun.

And there's so much of it that I can literally make a chocolate snow angel.

All these seeds that are drying here, they flip them over every 15 to 30 minutes to make sure that they're constantly being moved, and that new ones are in the sun to dry. And we haven't made chocolate yet, but it's already starting to smell like chocolate. So once the seeds are nice and dry, they're all broken open like this.

And on the inside we get what looks a lot like a dinosaur egg.

But if you actually break all this apart in your hand and crumble it up a little bit, those are cacao nibs. People put them on things like smoothie bowls all the time. But if you grind these together into a paste, sort of like if you grind peanuts into peanut butter, it makes this sort of chocolate paste, which we're gonna go see now. Welcome to the Hershey's Chocolate factory.

This is about as close as you're ever gonna get to real life Willy Wonka.

You can see here that they have this huge hose with perfectly smooth chocolate paste.

But just moments ago, that chocolate paste was in the form of these cacao nibs. So this liquid chocolate paste can literally be turned into anything now.

Jeremy: Correct. Nick: Right? It's like eating a liquid chocolate bar.

Jeremy: It is like eating a liquid chocolate bar.

Nick: How could you not like it? Now that we're in the Hershey's chocolate factory, I have two goals today. First, I want to see how Hershey's Kisses are made because I've seen some cool videos online and it looks awesome.

And second, we need to make some chocolate bars.

So now we're in the room where the Hershey's Kisses are made. In front of us is this giant crazy machine that's pumping out Hershey's Kisses.

Jeremy: 24 hours a day. There's some debate as to why, historically, they've been called kisses. So Milton Hershey developed the kisses in the early 1900s. The story goes that because of the product kissing the belt, that's how the name was created.

Nick: I mean, seeing this right now, that would be my guess.

And you make 70 million of these every single day?

Jeremy: 70 million kisses a day! After the depositor, now we go through the cooling tunnel where we cool the kisses till they're solid.

Nick: Look how long this tunnel goes down.

I can hardly even see the end of it.

Jeremy: There's a continuous belt and the kisses ride on going through cooling, so that way the kiss is hardened.

Nick: You can see a small break right here in the tunnel.

Jeremy: This is where our operators can do their quality checks. They take kisses offline, check to make sure that the shape is correct, and they also weigh them off to make sure that they are the correct weight.

Nick: And so that's a that's a laser that's checking every single Hershey's kiss to make sure that it's the perfect little shape. I love how they're all kind of taking a little jump right there, too.

Jeremy: Now finally they exit here.

Nick: And now they're cool.

Jeremy: Right. They're ready for packaging now. Kisses come here onto the belt. They go through a system of laning that gets them ready to go into the individual wrappers.

Nick: Look at that. What a cool view.

I wonder how many Hershey's kisses I've eaten in my life.

Like a good chunk of this assembly line.

Jeremy: As you see here, we've got the further separation or caning of the kisses so they can go into the infeeds of the wrapper.

Nick: When they're just coming off the line, they look so perfect.

Jeremy: That's the goal. So you see the shape of the kiss, the way it has a little bit of a bevel on the bottom, and it comes up to a point at the top.

Nick: The nice thing is, most of the time they end up looking like this when you get it in the package. Sometimes you put it in your pocket, it melts, you ruin your pants. Now that we've inspected all the Hershey's Kisses, they're good to keep moving. From here, they'll start to get diverted to either side to go to one of these wrapping machines.

Jeremy: So as the belt empties out here, this arm comes out to pull more kisses into the infeed.

Nick: Just tons of Hershey's Kisses and they're all doing the same thing.

Everything is mesmerizing.

I appreciate Hershey's Kisses so much more right now.

Jeremy: From here, from this infeed belt, the kisses then are single filed through this scanning system here, so that way they can go individually into the wrapper to have the flag and foil applied and then wrapped. So as the kisses come out of the conveyor, they go down this chute onto the conveyor belt.

We have that spiral in there.

So that way we're handling the kisses as delicately as possible, so they look as pristine for the consumer as they do when they come off the line.

Nick: So they all get sorted by that big machine, and then they come here to get individually weighed and measured out.

Jeremy: The kisses are coming through. We got a vibratory conveyor to feed them in.

And then each of these individual buckets has weigh hopper scales to know how much kisses are in it. The computer system inside the bagger then drops the right combination of scales to make the target weight for wherever bag size we're running.

Nick: After all the kisses are sorted out, now we have to package them into bags.

And this roll right here is where it all starts.

So the kisses have been weighed out to the perfect amount, and then they drop through here and go straight into these bags, which then go onto this conveyor belt right here.

Jeremy: That conveyor belt will take them to our case packer. The bags come down the conveyor and the robotic arm then is placing them into the case, into the right configuration, based on the item that we're running. After the cases are filled, they come through. They go through a vibrator to shake out the bags inside the case to make sure that they fill in properly.

The robotic head now is going to go over. It's going to pick up cases. It's going to put them on in the right orientation that it needs for the load that it's building.

Nick: And this is the finished bag. I can open it?

Jeremy: You can open it here. Yep.

Nick: Oh it even smells fresh.

Jeremy: You can smell the chocolate.

Nick: And they look good. It passes the inspection for me again.

This is the start of the chocolate bar process.

100

Jeremy: We're running extra large bars today on this line.

101

Nick: And obviously we need extra large chocolate bars to try to break the world record later, so this makes a lot of sense.

102

Jeremy: The molds come through here. They're tempered to the right temperature before they go into the depositor. And then the depositor is dropping the right amount of chocolate into each of those cavities of the mold. After the chocolate is put into the mold, we've got to get the chocolate into the hole full cavity of the mold.

103

So through this cabinet, the molds go side to side and through vibration, the mold gets shaken and the chocolate distributes throughout the whole mold. So we're trying to get air bubbles out and fill up the whole cavity. So the candy comes out of the shaker cabinet and then it goes into our cooler.

104

Nick: This is me for scale. It's a big fridge, and you can totally see now that they're already cooled off. You know, when you've been at home and you have an ice tray that you're trying to get the ice out of, and you kind of bend the ice tray on either side to push the ice out.

105

That's what's happening right here with all these chocolate bars. This machine is basically doing exactly that.

106

Jeremy: So after the mold twisters, the candy goes through the de-molding cabinet where the molds are turned upside down and the chocolate is separated from the mold and onto the de-molding belt.

107

And then this belt is timing the rows.

108

So that way instead of mold groups we have them lined out in rows.

109

Nick: So how many bars do you make every day?

110

Jeremy: So across all the lines here at West Hershey, we make about 9 million bars a day.

111

That's more than enough to make a world record.

112

Nick: We gotta quality check these two.

113

Jeremy: You take that one. Each one of those little blocks is a pip.

114

So we're taking a look at it, making sure that they're all there. And they all say Hershey.

115

Nick: This looks even more perfect than the kisses.

116

It's shimmering in the light here.

117

I'm looking up close on this thing. I don't think I see anything wrong at all. It passed the shiny test, but let's see if it passes the crack test.

118

You ready? Three. Two.

119

One. Oh, yeah. I think these are winners.

120

Jeremy: All marks of a good temper and a good bar.

121

Nick: We saw the bars downstairs, and then they get lifted up here by this conveyor belt system. And then they're going down this line.

122

Jeremy: Right, here into the infeed.

123

Nick: So these lasers are hard at work, because every time they see an empty gap between the bars, they speed up the other conveyor belt to catch them up to the bars ahead of them. Jeremy: That's right. Nick: That's amazing.

124

Jeremy: So after the lasers get them all together, we then have the turning belt.

125

The turning belts are turning the bars, so that way they're end to end as opposed to side to side to feed into the wrapper.

126

Nick: More lasers.

127

Jeremy: They're controlling speed. We have other ones that are looking for gaps in the bars. Also for broken bars, if there's any broken bars, it's going to reject those down here so that they don't get wrapped.

128

Nick: So if one of the bars somehow breaks, the laser sees it, and then that little thing right there blows it with air and discards it.

129

How are they wrapped?

130

Jeremy: You got the film here, which again, similar to like we saw in kisses. We have the roll stock that goes through, fed through the line, and then it's wrapped around the bar all at a in a high speed. You can see them down in here, see the bars feeding in? The wrap goes around the bar and it's sealed.

131

Nick: This whole wrapping system is crazy to watch because there's so many different ways and twists and turns.

132

Jeremy: There's a lot going on.

133

Nick: When the machine's stopped for a second, you can see how the packaging kind of feeds over the top of the bar.

134

But machines started moving again, so I couldn't finish my sentence.

135

Jeremy: The bars come out in the wrapper, they go through the wheel, gripper heads pick them up and put them onto the trays.

136

Nick: It moves incredibly fast at the end each time.

137

That's just using suction, just air to pick them all up and then stack them up perfectly so that they can then go into boxes.

138

Once you've seen all that chocolate get boxed up, it goes around these crazy conveyor belts that go all over this entire building.

139

These are one of the things that makes it feel in here, like Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. Now that we've made more chocolate than you could ever imagine, let's take all that chocolate and try to make the world's largest chocolate bar.

140

Over the next 24 hours, this warehouse in Ecuador will be completely transformed from this to this.

141

We can't build this chocolate bar outside because it's about 95 degrees in Ecuador.

142

So we're bringing all this chocolate from the farm to a giant warehouse, which is going to be air conditioned. And that's where we're going to build the bar.

143

This is pretty fun. Oh, let's go break the record.

144

Currently, the Guinness World Record World's largest chocolate bar is 383m² in size.

145

And behind me is the layout for a 400 square meter chocolate bar.

146

If we pull this off, this bar will be the same size as a full size basketball court.

147

Weigh the same as 183,000 regular chocolate bars, and if you melted it, you'd have enough to fill 80 bathtubs with all of that chocolate that we're bringing inside. This is going to be happening all day long behind the scenes.

148

The whole team here is just going to be unpacking boxes and boxes and boxes of chocolate. As we know, Guinness World Records is very strict.

149

We have to clean ourselves off really well, then hairnets on, then we have to put these funny looking things on our shoes and we can step on.

150

It's showtime.

151

Patrick: Oh, let's do it.

152

Nick: We're going to start by placing the bars down in the middle of this whole mat, but it has to be one full chocolate bar to count as a record.

153

So what we have here is just a bag of melted chocolate, basically like a chocolate hot glue gun. And we're going to very carefully go in between all the chocolate bars so that everything starts to stick together.

154

Oh, wow. Patrick: That looks crazy.

155

Nick: That's so cool. Patrick: Well, now we've just got 9000 more to go.

156

Nick: Now, that we've started working on the bar. I know I've already given you guys some comparisons, but just so you understand, it's going to take 11 tons of chocolate to fill this whole white mat here.

157

That's about the same weight as two fully grown elephants.

158

And if you ate a square of this every single day, it'd take you 30 years to finish it.

159

Look how long this chocolate bar is already becoming. It's crazy.

160

Look at Oded. Here comes Willy.

161

How's it feel to be trying to make the biggest chocolate bar in the world?

162

Oded: When you are Willy Wonka, you make the biggest chocolate bar every day.

163

But this time, it's going to be the biggest I've made in my life.

164

Nick: By the way, guys, I haven't talked about this yet, but this room smells really good.

165

Oded: Chocolate.

166

Nick: We are having a lot of people come and help throughout the day because it's so much chocolate.

167

Oded: It's already, what, an hour?

168

I hope we're going to make it on time.

169

Nick: The name of the game here is speed.

170

I always get so nervous in the corners because it's like, did we mess it up or will it fit? The moment of truth...

171

Is it gonna fit?

172

Patrick: Like a glove.

173

Nick: What do we do if it didn't? Oded: Fire the Oompa Loompa!

174

What's the name of this big kid in the movie of Charlie and the chocolate? Patrick: Cut the cameras.

175

Oded: The big one.

176

Nick: Augustus gloop.

177

Oded: Yeah. Augustus Gloop. That's the kid.

178

Nick: I have an idea. You go to that end, I'll go here.

179

We'll race to the middle.

180

Oded: Augustus, ready?

181

Patrick: Fire this guy right now!

182

Oded: Nick. Ready?

183

Nick: Yes. Oded: Go! Nick: It's gotta be perfect still, Pat.

184

Patrick: Mine is gonna be more perfect than yours.

185

Nick: The key to winning this race is to stay cool, calm and collected.

186

Patrick: Usually in life, I like to stress.

187

And then it all works out.

188

Nick: I think I'm gonna go over to Pat's side before he even gets, like, a quarter of the way down.

189

Patrick: I'm almost there.

190

Nick: Pat, I'm so far past the middle already.

191

Oded: And the thing is also about doing it nice.

192

Not just pouring chocolate all over like a crazy man.

193

You need to start from the beginning. Look at that, Nick. He's out of the race.

194

Nick: Disqualified, yeah. Oded: Out of the race.

195

Patrick: Everyone's yelling at me today.

196

Nick: So right now, my Oompa and I are lining up all the chocolate so that we can have it ready for them to pipe in that warm chocolate and glue it all together. Oop.

197

Man 1: Dennis, have you seen any violations today?

198

Dennis: Things are going very well right now.

199

Man 1: What if anybody ate any of the chocolate?

200

Dennis: You can't eat the chocolate right here. Take it in another room.

201

Have you eaten any chocolate?

202

Nick: No. Dennis: You're lying. The risk factor for me is very low. Oh.

203

Nick: Did you get that on camera?

204

Patrick: Nick, what happened?

205

Nick: The lights went off. One thing we're dealing with during this record is once in a while, right now in Ecuador, they're having an issue with the energy grid.

206

And so the lights just shut off sometimes. It should come back on with the generator.

207

Patrick: The most important part, though, is the air conditioning because it's 95 degrees outside and it could melt this chocolate.

208

Nick: This is bad. It's been five minutes now. They're using flashlights over there right now to keep working on the chocolate bar. Oh, I think that's the generator.

209

That sounds good. That sounds good.

210

Patrick: Oh, it just went off again.

211

Nick: This is really not good.

212

Now, been 18 minutes with no power.

213

Starting to freak out, guys.

214

Patrick: It went from bad to worse.

215

Nick: We need power. It'd be crazy if it went on, like, right now. No. Well, at this point, guys, it's been over 30 minutes with no power, so we're gonna get back to work in the dark, because otherwise, this is never gonna get finished.

216

Oded: I'll tell you what worries me.

217

Nick: Yeah?

218

What's that? Oded: No power, no AC.

219

Patrick: Yeah.

220

Oded: If this starts to melt... Patrick: It's over.

221

Oded: It's not only over, it's like, what are we going to do with all this mess here? It's going to go all over the place. It reminds me what happened in the movie.

222

You know, you were there.

223

Patrick: I already feel that the chocolate is getting a little softer.

224

Willy Wonka, what do we do here?

225

Oded: Honestly, there's no solutions.

226

Not in my chocolate Bible.

227

Nick: So we just got a bad update from the health inspector.

228

Dennis: The temperature is 75 right now.

229

If it gets above 80, the chocolate is going to start to melt.

230

Nick: And if we get to 80 degrees, video is done.

231

No record. Patrick: Dude, it's actually getting very hot in here.

232

Oh. Nick: Let's go! We're back!

233

Dennis: I can feel the AC back on.

234

Temperature's starting to come down. As long as this holds out, you're going to be back on schedule.

235

Nick: With the lights finally back on, we can start building again.

236

But this chocolate bar is taking way longer than we expected. So I'm just going to show you guys a really cool time lapse.

237

And now we're 50% of the way through on this chocolate bar.

238

As you can see, we had to bring in a few extra helpers. We were never going to finish this thing otherwise. We've done about 80 rows out of the 106 that we need to do to complete the entire chocolate bar.

239

Oded: I think it's the biggest chocolate mirror.

240

Look how shiny it is. Literally, you need the Willy Wonka sunglasses.

241

Nick: The shine means that it's been perfectly tempered, which means when we snap it later, it should have a perfect snap. Oded: Clack.

242

Nick: We've sort of been patrolling throughout the day, and word on the street right now is the corner in the back there is working a little bit slow. We're going to step in and help them out. Look at all your chocolate all over you.

243

Look at this.

244

Oded: This is a real Oompa Loompa.

245

Nick: How did you get all this chocolate on you?

246

Man 2: I love chocolate. Nick: You love chocolate?

247

I think it looks cool.

248

Patrick: And you smell delicious.

249

Nick: We started today at 7:30 a.m.

250

and now it is 7:22 p.m..

251

And in this last corner, we're now down to just ten squares left.

252

Patrick: Nine. Eight. Seven. Six.

253

Five. Four. Three. Two.

254

One. All right, Nick, here it is.

255

Nick: You guys ready for the reveal of what we hope is about to be the world's largest chocolate bar?

256

We did it! After 22,000 lbs of chocolate and lots of teamwork, this is unofficially the biggest chocolate bar ever made in the history of the world.

257

But now it's up to the Guinness World Records officials whether this is a new world record.

258

Woman 1: The current world record for the largest chocolate bar by area is 383m².

259

After all the measurements...

260

You have achieved... a new Guinness World Records title.

261

Nick & Oded: Yes! Woo!

262

Nick: None of this chocolate will go to waste. We're gonna break this whole chocolate bar up and give it to kids all across Ecuador.

263

Wait wait wait. I literally just realized we never tried it.

264

Patrick: Oh, yeah. Cheers. That is amazing.

265

Nick: The end.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
