There’s an iconic episode of the I Love Lucy Show where Lucy and Ethel are working at a chocolate factory. They’ve been tasked with wrapping individual pieces of candy as they come out on a conveyor belt and if one gets through unwrapped then they are fired. Things quickly get out of hand as the candy starts coming out on the belt faster and faster. So of course, in order to keep up, Lucy and Ethel begin eating the candy and hiding it in their uniforms.

Today there are many solutions available that could have made Lucy and Ethel’s job, and the factory’s process, more manageable. But of course, not nearly as hilarious!
