I bought it from the kiosk. It came in a
plastic bag of 15 biscuits. The plastic bag has nutritional
information on it, the text and labels on it are laid out
in a unique way, there is a picture of a tiger hold a biscuit.
So just producing this plastic bag involved
nutritionists, graphic designers, copywriters.
Somebody made the machine that prints the date and code on
the little bit of the bag. Somebody made the yellow, blue and red dye
that colors the bag. Somebody chose the right size of bag.
Somebody set up the plastic bag machinery to produce
bags this size. Somebody invented the machines that produce
the bags, and built them. Somebody negotiated with
the plastic bag makers to get the best prices.
To get that biscuit to the kiosk required trucks and
planes, drivers and pilots. People to carry the boxes to
and from warehouses. People to make the cardboard boxes the
biscuits were packed in. People to make and design the
protective molds that separate the biscuits during transit,
and the big crates that the boxes are loaded in. There are
warehouses that have to be built and maintained to hold the
biscuits en route.
Then there are the biscuits experts. Buyers. Tasters. biscuits
scientists. Negotiators. And there's the wheat, sugar and dairy farmer. And
he needs to employ pickersand shepherd. He needs machinery for his
orchards. He needs special chemicals, grass and fertilizers to
maximize his yield. He needs seeds! There are people
who sell those things. These are all opportunities for
somebody somewhere.
I think i would be the creator of the crates.
Ok, please tell me other person or jobs that involves in the energy biscuit existence. Lol.
It can expand your power to think.

I can't think of anyone else, but it sure is interesting when you realize how many people spent time working on one small thing like that.
I'm thinking of the oven makers that make the ovens that actually make the biscuits if they're baked. Do they bake them? I have no idea. I'm also thinking of the government who taxes the selling of goods and land, but I don't know if that's got to do with the actual production of biscuits?

(This is like How It's Made. Has anyone here ever seen it?)
Seriously, I think about stuff like this all the time. Imagine "shoes," or "wineglass," or "amplifier." Also think that a lot of people involved probably don't speak English - it really broadens your sense of the world. "You mean... my left shoe was in Mexico? gonk "
