To find out, Jimmy uses a floor sander, tumble dryer, laundry mangle and kitchen bins to copy the industrial grinders, dryers, rollers and vats used inside the real factories. He attempts to create cornflakes from scratch using corn kernels and a mangle. Armed with a paint stripper gun, he creates his own instant coffee. With a handful of sugar beets, he is surprised to see how something that contains only 17% sugar can be turned into the familiar sweet granules people put on their cornflakes. To complete his breakfast menu, Jimmy heads away from the barn to discover that some cows at a dairy farm in Devon are being milked by robots, and how a muddy root vegetable is turned into pure white sugar. |
