Until today’s video, I never even thought about how rubber bands are made. Now we all know.
AND we must sing along with the 1976 song posted below this one —it is required. You owe it to yourself, since it might make you smile.

Kneading, rolling, and extrusion;
then heat, so rubber bands are made,
and then, to banish their illusion
of strength in mass, they face the blade
that cuts them individually
to do work for which they’re designed,
and it really seems to me
that this is how we are refined
by God, to make sure that we are fit
to live forever by His side;
individuality sees to it
that in the group we cannot hide,
but must let our souls stand alone
before the judgment of His throne.
Wow. Profound. I was just wondering who came up with this idea and put the whole process together.
Then enjoying dancing at the end.
Amazing! I kept wondering how someone came up with this idea or process for the intended result. It makes me think of the writing process as well and all our words go through until they are the correct fit.
And then, like Andrew, I turn to the spiritual implications. We are, indeed, stretched, kneaded, extruded continually until all that’s left is fit for God’s purpose. Quite the process, and I’m thankful.
I have always enjoyed the “How Do They Do It” programs. I find myself completely sucked in just like I was with this one.
“Up next? Bicycle seats and airplane tires.”
I spun with the Spinners while seated on a stool in a crowded country buffet.
An oldie-but-goodie offered for entertainment.
Got the earbuds out.
Did some jukin’ and Jivin’.
My two friends thought nothing of it
They know how I’m wired.
The good news is I guess this is a job that AI won’t take over anytime soon.
The nurse in me is curious about health implications of all that talc. Can’t be good since masks can only go so far as protection.
Thanks for sharing this one. I enjoy the stories of how things were made.
Thanks for the grins every Friday.
I wonder how much the workers make? It looks like they’re manufactured outside of the US. Just wondering I guess.
