So the specific thing I did over the summer was imagine a five foot wide river of Rice Krispie cake all together. Oh my God. Before it solidifies, just moving constantly. And we had these ultrasonic knives sticking straight down in it that would vibrate, that would cut the Rice Krispie cake into strips. It worked great. Oh, it's fantastic.

And then there was this guillotine that would chop them into the little squares as they would go along. Yeah. They had that and it worked perfectly. But then they said, oh, now we want to make a cereal bar and we want to put cranberries in it. And so when they started running it, you can imagine what happened when that cranberry hit the ultrasonic knife. It slows it down.

It doesn't cut it because of this thing called impedance, impedance mismatch, a mechanical impedance mismatch or whatever. It just gums up the line. And so they're like, hey, intern, your job is to make a new cutter that can cut the cereal bars and the Rice Krispie cakes. And I had no idea what I was doing, but there were a lot of smart people that helped me there.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I sat in on meetings and they were discussing the topping distribution on the brownie line. And I was sitting there and I was like, man, are they talking about statistical stuff for sprinkle? What? What are we doing? So first of all, that's how my whole summer felt. Also, I would say there are no smart interns. But yeah, a lot of times you just did trial and error.

Once you get over the hurdle of, I'm scared of this, you would be surprised how many things you can fix on your own.

I don't think that's silly at all. Why is that not silly? Well, I think you're working with your hands. Yeah. You're solving a very, very complex problem. So my first YouTube video that I ever uploaded was called How to Light a Bonfire with Rockets.
