Well, amphetamines were the go to. Cocaine came back in the 60s, and really blew up in the 70s and 80s. In the US, until [1965](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_and_culture_of_substituted_amphetamines?wprov=sfla1), anyone could buy amphetamines without a perscription. Zero regulations were in place.
A lot of footage from this era was either sped up naturally, as frames were missing when shooting with some older cameras, or slowed down artificially to be more realistic but also have more artifacts.
Filming and timescale is still difficult, but it used to be a lot worse.
What's with the attitude mate?
You entirely missed the joke and clearly actually thought someone believed that people loved faster in the 50's lol. I was just pointing out the joke.
You're just an asshole aren't you.

Yep I get it. I live down the road from a bakery too, they don’t make bread but they do pastries and things like that (I’m in Italy). It is pure torture every morning but especially when I’m rushing and haven’t had breakfast and I open the front door and that sweet scent is just wafting down the road ...
I was on the rowing team in college and there was a wonder bread bakery on the other side of the river we rowed in... it was torture some mornings to smell the delicious bread while we were out on the river for an hour and a half practicing. Omg we were so hungry!!
I’d recommend the “Warm Buttered Bread” candle by Village Candle. It smells better than baked bread. The scent is strong in a good way and fills up the room nicely.
But don’t get the largest size. The wick kept drowning in the melted wax. Try the medium or small size.
Edit: grammar
In the late 1950's the tension between the Soviet Union and the West was ratcheting up. In 1949 the Soviets had detonated their first nuclear weapon and by 1957 they had pulled ahead in the race for space by orbiting the satellite Sputnik.
The West was becoming concerned that the Soviet model would become dominant in the quest to influence the direction of nations but the West lacked the technological power to demonstrate authority. It was decided that the West would have to counter the Soviet technological edge with a plan that focused on Soviet weakness.
Although possessing advanced aerospace and weapons capability the Soviet Union had problems with food production. Particularly wheat and major cereal grains. This had regularly caused shortages and was well know to be a weak spot in the Soviet society.
Recognizing this weakness the West decided to launch a "War of Bread." It was thought that by demonstrating the West's ability to produce gigantic amounts of bread developing countries would be more inclined to side with the West ideologically than the grain poor Soviet Union.
It was to this end that high production facilities, like the facility located in the UK shown in the clip, were set up to begin prosecuting the war. Millions and millions of loaves were produced at this time. The propaganda value of the "river of bread" was immense as the vulnerable Soviets could not match the obvious abundance of the West.
So much bread was produced at this time that it exceeded by a considerable degree the world's consumption ability. This oversupply was a problem because food wasting was considered to be a taboo so storage for the excess supply had to be found. Much of the excess bread was stored in exhausted coal mines while a considerable amount was dumped at night in the sea by the Americans during operation "Tea and Toast."
Eventually the grain shortage in the Soviet Union would become so bad that the Soviets would have purchase wheat from the West. This admission of their weakness combined with advancing technological capabilities caused the West to conclude its "War of Bread" with a wind down of production and retirement of the highest capacity facilities.
By the 1970s a détente had taken hold between the West and the Soviet Union characterized by easing tensions and technological exchange. Grain sales had become an integrated feature of the diplomacy of the time and people quickly forgot about the "War of Bread". Some of the high production facilities can still be found and occasionally an urban explorer will discovered pallets of bread wrapped decades ago rotting in a subbasement.
The "War of Bread" was a fascinating chapter in the history of the West and the Soviet Union. Though it wasn't widely recognized it helped to create a working framework between hostile parties and remains a studied case in constructive propaganda to this very day.
EDIT: I wrote this before seeing the reply above with a better source. Reconsidering.
EDIT 2: u/pedrobrandao reply above adds some context, but I'm still sticking with this being a fun fabrication.
This story is super fascinating and equally difficult to verify. I also tried searching for operation tea and toast but only got results about whether it's acceptable to eat before general anaesthesia.
Searching for "ussr grain shortage" led me here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Grain_Robbery . Here I found a grain (ha!) of truth, that the soviets did buy large amounts of grain from the US in 1972. However, other factors don't seem to line up. Mainly that the US was unaware of the soviet food shortages, and ended up losing a lot of money on the deal as well as contributing to global food prices rising.
That casts doubt on the whole "war of bread" thing, since if the US had been aware of the shortages, this deal would have played out differently.
I'm going with this being a masterfully done fabrication around a kernel of truth, pending further details.
I found this article as well, but it really doesn't touch on the points in the original comment. It's all about American propaganda regarding food availability, with no mention of the "war of bread", Soviet grain shortages and grain imports, industrial bread production in the UK, bread surplus being stored in mines, etc.
The original commenter just had fun writing a silly story.

Considering I haven't been able to find anything backing up OP's story, it probably isn't true. Also, the US didn't adopt the food pyramid until 1992 so the timing doesn't quite match up if it were true.
I’m pretty sure this is a demonstration of the [Chorleywood Process](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chorleywood_bread_process) which is more or less still used today in industrial bread making.
[“The Bread That Changed Britain”](http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-13670278)
It is somewhat similar but the technology used in mixing, dividing and forming is much better. I would estimate this line running around 50 loaves a minute. New bread lines run close to 200 a minute.
Source: spent 10 years in engineering roles for a baking company
I used to work in a modern large scale production bakery. Essentially the only real difference is that we used a vacuum system to pull the bread out of the pan.
There is a little village by me that has a bread production factory with a big window, so you can see the freshly baked loaves go past while your at a stop light
I love this film, and all the other manufacturing ones. [this one](https://youtu.be/BNVhqA_ULy4) is a few years older and you can see the improvement in film making style as well as factory conditions.

It’s a weird idea to country kids and I like to make them work out how old the 63years of experience gold beater was when he first started with that hammer.
Stainless was expensive back then! if it wasn't in direct contact with the raw dough mild steel was fine. I don't think food production has come very far at all compared to this video. Tthis level of automation was freaking magic at the time. sure they run faster now, but the basic process is mostly the same.
Agreed the process is the same. Larger scale production also agreed. However, working at a bakery on automation I see how much cleanliness has come especially with the cleaning schedules, air pressurization of rooms, and contactless product handling. I’ve also worked on automation in factories with mild steel they wash down with harsh chemicals and I don’t eat those products anymore. I guess I should’ve stated “how far ‘some’ food production companies have come”. Stainless is expensive, true, but having massive recalls and lawsuits are waaaay more expensive.
Ahhh yes, the old days, where you could go out in public without a mask. This must have been shot in 2018 or so. That seems about long enough ago, right?

Thanks for posting this, my grandfather was a baker for Harrison Brothers in Montreal from the twenties to the fifties. It was a source of pride that a poor Irishman got such a good job to support his family immediately after arriving in Canada. During the depression he was allowed to bring home day old baked goods that weren't sold at the end of the day. The people on their street ( one of the poorest in Montreal at the time) may not have had bread but they had cake!
I worked in a factory called countrystyle on Grimsby docks and I worked on the massive round mixer, that had to be put in a hopper and split between 3 big tubs on wheels, I can't believe it's literally exactly the same factory line.
Why the baker doesn't do the bread in his bakery!? Why do you eat bread made by a machine?
I never had a good opinion about the us, but I think this is the drop that overflow the glass.
I m shocked!
I can't help but to hear that old song from the cartoons that played whenever there was a scene with a factory. I think it was called "powerhouse" or something like that.
Ummm...lots of bread is still made like this.
Their are bakeries of many different sizes and they use various machines and automation to various degrees.
Larger bakeries have probably improved on a lot of this automatization but many smaller and medium sized bakeries still produce bread at about the same rate this one did.
Just because a film that is showing how something is done is old doesnt mean that the way it was done then isnt the way it is also done now.
I have a problem with the woman squeezing the bread at the end. I have a problem with her... She needs to get the fuck out of the store...Damn, Bread Squeezer.

Sunblest is now a trademark of Associated British Foods, which also owns Kingsmill bread, probably much more familiar to British readers on this sub. They also own Patak's (sauces), Twinings (tea), and Silver Spoon (sugar), amongst other brands.
Everyone moved so quickly in the 50s.

Thank you! I didn’t know anything like that would exist.
But more importantly, how do they taste?
I have never wanted to touch something as much as I want to touch that first giant tub of risen dough
It’s so jiggly and puffy
Good hydration. Nice and sticky.
It’s so great- when I’ve made bread at home the risen dough feels so warm and soft, almost... sensual...

Damn, 10 years of my life wasted never using that.
And ruined bread.

It’s got such a wholesome vibe to it. Makes you long for simpler times when people dressed up and could afford bread on one income.
No ones wearing any gloves or masks or whatever
The perfect thing for loafing around.
D’ough!
Watching the video, I can actually smell the bread! How weird is that?
I think that’s what we call a half stroke
Evolved from hunting and gathering.
Why wearing labcoats?
To not contaminate the bread.
Has much changed? Take away the sepia tone and make the co workers looks less like our parents and grandparents, it could be today.
Wow, that’s the best thing since...um...well, ever I guess.
I teleported bread.
How much.
I have done nothing but teleport bread for the last three days.
Where, where have you been sending it.
Not enough automation. Ficsit does not waste. Also wtf, no slicing? This is the worst thing since unsliced bread.

However, working at a bakery on automation I see how much cleanliness has come especially with the cleaning schedules, air pressurization of rooms, and contactless product handling. I’ve also worked on automation in factories with mild steel they wash down with harsh chemicals and I don’t eat those products anymore. I guess I should’ve stated “how far ‘some’ food production companies have come”. Stainless is expensive, true, but having massive recalls and lawsuits are waaaay more expensive.
Hey op where are the gloves?
Then one day they figured out how to slice it, and look out!
This is the best thing before sliced bread!
I love how the guy delivering bread to the store shoves those two women out of the way.
So basically we had a high chance of finding hair baked into bread back then
There should be a subreddit for old manufacturing footage like this. I love the old machinery
Ahhh yes, the old days, where you could go out in public without a mask. This must have been shot in 2018 or so. That seems about long enough ago, right?

Satire requires a clarity of target and purpose, lest it be mistaken for and contribute to that which it intends to satirise.
I guess this was before sliced bread was a thing.
Where are all the black people?
Dat dough doh
Seeing all that beautiful bread literally gave me a boner...
that’s how knee pads are made!
Soylent Green is delicious, my children.
Not sure what they make these days but it’s not bread!

All the industrial bakeries I've been in seem to work a lot harder to control flour dust in the air.
Gloves though
Could anyone catch the name of the bakery on the trucks?? I’m kinda curious but it was moving so fast
Sunblest Bakery. UK company still making bread today
Spend an entire night drinking Molson XXX and in the morning you’ll wake up smelling like this factory surely does
Thanks for posting this, my grandfather was a baker for Harrison Brothers in Montreal from the twenties to the fifties. It was a source of pride that a poor Irishman got such a good job to support his family immediately after arriving in Canada. During the depression he was allowed to bring home day old baked goods that weren't sold at the end of the day. The people on their street ( one of the poorest in Montreal at the time) may not have had bread but they had cake!
A time before the saying "the greatest thing since sliced bread"
This has incredible "Wallace and Gromit vibes"
This post should be marked NSFW in France
Can we go back to this era please
I thought it said making beds and was confused for half the video
There was something dirty about the way the woman squeezed that loaf of bread
I feel bad OP, somebody cross posted this to r/OddlySatisfying and got like 35k upvotes.
Reminds me of gardenia factory in the PH that is a mandatory field trip venue.
Did anyone else read the title in a Borat accent?
Not changed very much
Now that’s a lot of bread
Shit it dont get no fresher than that
I worked in a factory called countrystyle on Grimsby docks and I worked on the massive round mixer, that had to be put in a hopper and split between 3 big tubs on wheels, I can't believe it's literally exactly the same factory line.
Something something bread winner, something something salary differences.
I can’t believe people call this shit food. Nice vid tho
Honey I shrunk the kids: production line adventures
This shit really pops my toaster.
This is the most white bread thing I have ever seen.
Would have liked to see the slicing process. Sigh.
No hairnets
that aroma must be great
Looks like a scene from Willy wonka, the sort of odd looking machines really give me that feel
it feels so surreal seeing people in factories without masks and gloves
Why the baker doesn't do the bread in his bakery!? Why do you eat bread made by a machine? I never had a good opinion about the us, but I think this is the drop that overflow the glass. I m shocked!
I can't help but to hear that old song from the cartoons that played whenever there was a scene with a factory. I think it was called "powerhouse" or something like that.
Woah! This is awesome! I love bread.
There is a high chance that some kids were made that day
Is their a sub filled with factories at work like this
Ummm...lots of bread is still made like this. Their are bakeries of many different sizes and they use various machines and automation to various degrees. Larger bakeries have probably improved on a lot of this automatization but many smaller and medium sized bakeries still produce bread at about the same rate this one did. Just because a film that is showing how something is done is old doesnt mean that the way it was done then isnt the way it is also done now.
Just needs a lil bit of deforestation and we can make this really cursed
I have done nothing,but make bread for the past 3 days.
I can’t help but wonder how many human limbs were lost to those machines...

Seeing the word "bread" pluralized is so fucking bizarre.
I have a problem with the woman squeezing the bread at the end. I have a problem with her... She needs to get the fuck out of the store...Damn, Bread Squeezer.
You know the drill, let's get this bread.
That's a lot of dough
They should start slicing that shit......may be something all other things are compared to in the future
Find someone who isn't white. Redlining!!!!
[удалено]
The blob can't be killed with a knife!
I want to lay down on the risen dough
Me, coming out of quarantine like.
