We all have a hobby. Reddit user’s -rico hobby is collecting factory GIFs. You know, the ‘How it’s Made’ kind of GIFs, the one that show how our day to day products are created? I’ve taken some from his list, found some more online, and here they are:

Icecream

Pretzels (several variations)

Pretzels are often made by hand, but if you do them automatically, then you also need a dough cutter:

Balloons

Pencils

Condoms

Inserting bristles in a toothbrush

Chains and springs

Pasta

Maypole weaving a cord

Bottles

Applying adhesive to event wristbands

Packaging bread

Darts

Sweets

Bonus: a pickle elevator
