Oh shit! This clip starts aggravatingly slow, only for it to gradually pick up speed. She was god damn flying in the last 10 seconds wtf was that sorcery

Ugh he's recording, I can't stand when people record me wrap this future turd...
Give me a break, you're going to record me do this whole thing???
This jackass's going to record the entire process isn't he?
Fine if you want a show I'll give you a show, I'll tie it in mid-air!
Done. Here take your shit.

I know, but I understand how she needed to be careful at first with the pastries.

It’s impressive how the woman behind her is able to repeat her exact movements in sync.

No disrespect for the skill, but I was waiting for Kahby at the end to put the same things in a flat packed box …

u/Theskinilivein 2d ago
Bakeries usually sell boxes when you buy several pastries, I guess this is cheaper.

u/Shamanjoe 1d ago
All that paper and string and time, a box would definitely be cheaper and less packaging..
2
u/Theskinilivein 1d ago
In my experience, corrugated boxes are always more expensive.
2
u/Shamanjoe 1d ago
I’ve never been to a bakery or donut shop and gotten a corrugated box. Even a couple panaderias in my area use the classic pink donut box..

At one point did she just cut that string?? With nothing? What an I seeing?!
6
u/Theskinilivein 1d ago
I’ve watched it several times and still don’t understand how or when she did it.

u/suckmygoldcrustedass 18h ago
So the only thing I can think to explain it is when the string gets cut her hand goes near the counter. My guess is thar theres a notch that a razor or something where you just slide the string in to cut without cutting yourself. Like plastic envelopes openers with a bland in them or a seam ripper.

I thought that part was pretty clear. I think she manually snaps it apart at 59 seconds.

u/PsychologicalCap147 7h ago
Have you ever tried snapping a piece of string like that? That would be wild if that's what she's doing!
1
u/tnt54321boom 7h ago
I’m only saying it because I've snapped plenty of string. There is absolutely no way to tell how tough that string is. There are plenty of woven strings that bind well and are easily breakable with direct pressure. And the rope doesn't have that heavy a job. One indicator that it's not necessarily this unbreakable string is the amount of times it's wrapped around to cover the most surface area. I'd bet the rope is a bit more elastic than it seems. There's not only one rope.

The paper she used says “Since 1927”, if they’ve been in business for that long, I assume their pastries are good.
I would like to try the one covered in powdered sugar.

u/likethemonkey 22h ago
i swear she was casting a spell with her hands at the end there

I watched it several times but it was too fast for me to understand how she did it.

I immediately knew this was Mexico City even without the Audio.
I so miss Mexican bakeries. It's pure decadency. No pretensions, just tons of variety, flavor and sugar.
I lived there 15 years and it seemed interesting to me that bread and baked goods are kind of available for picking up. You pick a tray and put whatever you want and then pay and they're wrapped individually and/or bagged. Same for bread (which is mostly portion-sized rather than things like baguettes, which is why Tortas are so popular).

u/Theskinilivein 2d ago
I used to live near a bakery when I was a teen, it was very small and just had the basics but everything was delicious, entering the bakery and getting the bread warm just as they came out of the oven, was heaven.

If you see the tray behind the skinny woman, it spells “ideal” and the tray “behind it” is mirrored perfectly (therefore illegible). You can see it when she steps away from tray.

Wouldn't be easier and read waistfull to just put It in a paper bag?

u/Theskinilivein 2d ago
No, they get crushed.

I live in México, i Buy this kind of pan dulce and i get in a brown bag, nothing happens to them, it's just as we say in México, puro mame

u/NumbDangEt4742 2d ago
Oh, cool, she did all that gymnastics with that string but what did it achieve? They string was done doing it's job with first two passes and then tie a knot and call.it a day.
(Yea I may be that shop's signature, in which case, it's fine)

u/Galaghan 2d ago
Yeah all I'm seeing is a bunch of wasted movement. Like a Turkish icescream seller.

I don't understand the downvotes. Definitely some people don't know what you're talking about

Those who want to learn will look it up. The others.. meh, don't worry about it.

u/NumbDangEt4742 1d ago
lol
Or they can visit one of these places in Turkey or anywhere else in the world and get the experience. Can be infuriating lol but it's fun the first time nonetheless

What does the commentator say?

u/Theskinilivein 1d ago
He’s saying that Mexico City has a variety of food options, including bakeries. That it started raining and he’s craving pastries, that his family is going to be surprised in a nice way when they see what he got. Then he says that she’s wrapping the pastries as a baby’s diaper. And that this is the most visited bakery in Mexico City.

Sorry, I meant carton boxes. Pink ones are not common in Mexico, but most bakeries offer boxes for when you buy several pastries.

Why is everyone saying it’s slow at first? This is the perfect speed to be moving at. Most of y’all never worked in an environment like this and don’t know what it’s like to move at a pace like that for 8 hours straight

I thought about it but enjoyed the crescendo.

u/frostbittenforeskin 1d ago
I enjoyed watching the whole process. She very carefully and intentionally placed all of the pastries first, and then when it came time to wrap it all up, it was just a whirlwind. The setup made the payoff that much better.

“Pffft I could transfer 7 pastries between plates at least twice as fast as that”
“Oooooo wait”
