I am disappointed. I was expecting an April Fools-type narrative describing the annual snow harvest, followed by interviews with the Canadian Snow Minister, who will lament the projected future of the Canadian snow industry in light of global warming.
Wait a minnit! You mean every town they passed through was BOMBED? The Fall of Paris may have been just a coincidence, but for them to leave JUST BEFORE each town was destroyed is too much to leave to chance. I can't believe they were allowed to come into the U.S.
They are making a type of mochi, which is steamed sweet (or glutinous) rice that has been pounded into a starchy, sticky mass. In this case, the rice has been mixed with something green, but at times the same product can be white. The hand-pounded mass will go into a machine that is kind of visible in the back, and will be divided into uniform balls of rice paste. These go down a conveyor and are rolled in a toasted sweetened soybean powder. They may also be flattened and folded over a bit of sweet bean paste, then rolled in soybean powder. It's a pretty nice snack. A little sweet and sticky. This particular shop seems to have many videos posted of different stages of pounding. The short clip here shows the final, and fastest, stage. I am amazed that they can do this kind of thing and not lose a hand.
While a PhD is nice, he should get a Nobel Prize. His work was ground-breaking, and provided insights into many other diseases now known to be caused by prions, including "Mad Cow Disease" and, I think, Alzheimers Disease.
I am glad *someone* is serious about the threat of K-Pop.
It had to be said.
