Back in the 70’s, we grew up loving “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood,” especially the regularly featured short films showing, say, the process of how peanut butter gets manufactured or how blankets are woven and stitched. So drawing significant inspiration from the late great Fred Rogers (who left this mortal coil in 2003), we decided to make one of these little numbers ourselves. Straight out of Cambodia, we give you our family’s take on The Story Of Rubber.
I will never look at rubber the same way again
Very cool
Why do I need to travel the world when you are doing such an excellent job of it for me:) MISS YOU! xo Bethie
You guys are so fantastic. What’s the music?
“Tropicalia” by Beck. A Year To Think soundtrack collection coming soon.
Oops, there goes another rubber tree plant
Just like Electric Company or Mr. Rogers only with hipper music. Capp says “I can’t believe so many things are made out of rubber.”
Who is Mark Levin?
…well, there are some who might say he is cross between Evil Knivel and a Jewish Mr. Rogers! OMG!
Thanks for the musical “Soul of Rubber” Tour.

Looks like tofu! xo noa
All I wanted to know about rubber but was afraid to ask. Thanks for this. How did you ever get to a rubber factory? Most impressive. I love the music too.
I like “enormouse” dryer.
Thanks, Holly. Great catch. We always appreciate a good proofreader.
Thank you for giving us a greater appreciation of the humble beginnings of our beloved and fancy latex mattresses. As a dust mite allergy-plagued family, our lives have been forever changed by this natural rubber product that does not harbor the little buggers. We are well aware of the ridiculous weight, having moved them a few times, and now we know why they are worth every penny!
Wow, that’s a lot of hard physical labor so that someone in America can have a new pair of sneakers!! Everyone should be extra grateful, now that we see all that goes into it.
