Making a Jawbreaker Takes FOUR DAYS! 

Other interesting factoids…

- a golf ball-sized jawbreaker has 10 layers of colored sugar (see 4:41)

- powdered carnuba wax gives the jawbreaker its shiny finish

- an oil (soya palm sterine) is used to make sure the candy won’t stick to your teeth.

- a jawbreaker is 90% sugar and 10% awesome

**UPDATE**

The video’s been yanked from YouTube! Consider the above points the Cliff’s Notes. To be honest, the rest of the vid was mainly cool factory footage. Use your imagination.
