For Blender fans out there - you may have noticed the Blender logo donut on the bottom row under the glass display (first shown at 1:17).
You may have also noticed the face of Andrew Price at 9:25. Andrew (also known as @blenderguru) is a Blender legend, famous for teaching people how to make 3D donuts.
If you want to start learning Blender I encourage you to watch his Blender Donut Series! Blender 4.0 Beginner Donut Tutorial (Old)

For those that use Blender (3d software) - there are a couple of hidden surprises in this video. Did you find them?😁

The animator: finally that donut blender tutorial we all watch at the beginning comes to good use.

2:42 "this tiny machine could churn out 720 donuts per hour." That's 12 donuts a minute, which is a donut every 5 seconds, and when you watch the animation, one donut comes out every five seconds. The attention to detail is crazy!

1:21 haha nice easter Egg there. Blender Logo as a Donut. Classic

What are the odds of thinking "I wonder how they make the donuts" then getting this video about 6 seconds later

this banger dropped the same day Mcdonald’s says they partnered with Krispy Cream

Cheap ingredients in, expensive product out. A good business model.

@JaredOwen 11:45 You cannot put out oil fires with water. That will cause the oil level to rise and spill over, causing the rest of the kitchen to be on fire. Instead, they use a chemical foam that cuts off the oxygen supply to the fire, effectively smothering it. For oil fires, a Class K fire extinguisher (United States) or a Class F extinguisher (Europe) is designed specifically for cooking oils and fats. Another thing that they use is a fire blanket. A fire blanket works by smothering the fire, cutting off the oxygen supply that the fire needs to continue burning.

I'm fond of their softness. No other brand can create such airy donuts. Making them yourself is almost impossible!

As a donut lover, I've never been happier to see a video recommendation.

back again at the Krispy Kreme

Former KK Production guy here. Thank you for making this video. It's so hard for me to explain the process to people sometimes. Very accurate, well done?

Bro this is literally my childhood. I remember going to my local Kristy Kreme and watching the donuts get made. I could’ve stood there for hours watching each and every one go down the conveyor belt and going through the different stages of being made.

@karlmachnow4961 2 years ago

I hope those sprinklers dont contain water. As anyone who had chemistry in school knows, the resulting explosion of the oil bath would be great to watch only from considerable distance.

@kean4073 2 years ago

So Krispy Kreme only make a fraction of the amount of donuts that new blender users make each year 😂

@GCJACK83 2 years ago (edited)

Most Krispy stores have their machines set up so you can watch the whole process, start to finish. It's neat. Especially when you manage to buy the doughnut you watched being made, fresh off the belt.
