Trivia

Due to the Canadian laws against product placements, all products in this show are referred to by generic names, but at the same time, little effort is made to hide logos and brand names on the featured products. However, the end credits have a "Thanks to" which lists the companies involved. See more »

Crazy Credits

In the Canadian version of the show, the opening sequence from Season 1-7 has a part in which letters appear to spell "HOW I MAD" rather than the full title of the show. See more »

User Reviews

 
Educational
13 December 2012 | by ebiros2See all my reviews

I was wondering how some of the things featured in this series was made. Then I found this series, and learned how they're actually made. Showing how things are made on video is ideal way to learn how it's done. The show keeps it short and sweet - just perfect for us laymen to get the information we need.

I can think of at least a dozen episodes of exact items I wanted to learn how they're made, like drill bits, sugar, salt, ham, soy sauce, tofu, rum, needles, gears, magnets, bike chains, injection molds, batteries, and coffee. There's no other series that you can pick up so much information in one place, and the producer did an excellent job of compiling, and presenting the information in an entertaining way. Some episodes gave great overview for the kind of manufacturing that needs to be setup for a new business, which the information would have been difficult to obtain otherwise.

I rate this one of the best educational series on television along with Anthony Boudain's "No Reservations". I'm eternally grateful to the producers of this show for producing such an informative show.
