First off I would like to talk a little about myself so that you can get to know me. I am seventeen years old and a senior anxiously waiting to graduate from high school. I am one of four children and I play varsity lacrosse on my high school team. One of my favorite things to do is go to movies or watch movies with friends where we often have the guilty pleasure of eating goodies. Despite getting older, I still have a sweet tooth for candy any time I tag along with my mom to go grocery shopping or go in the gas station to pay for gas. For something to catch my eye the box or bag must be visually appealing to me. It must have bright pretty colors relating to flavors that I like. The graphics on the boxes or bags must look appealing, I will not eat something that looks bad even if it is supposedly the most amazing treat ever. I hate to say it but I do judge my food by its cover. The gobstopers and nerds both had very bright colored boxed as well as little descriptions making me want to eat the candy right then and there. The gobstopers appealed to me when the box said the color and flavor changes as it melts in your mouth.
I chose air heads because they are one my favorite candies and it was cherry flavored and that is my absolute favorite flavor despite the fact I don’t like actual cherries.
I would describe it as a five inch long one and half-inch wide piece of bendy, sticky, compact joy.
The perfect occasion for eating airheads is a swim meet.
When I think of air heads it reminds me of my childhood years that I spend on swim team. I would always look forward to the moments in the bullpen after my events because my mom would only let me get candy from the concessions (usually air heads) after I swam.
Eating this candy makes me feel like a little kid reliving my swim team days.
The kind of people who eat this brand the most are kids and any spectators at sporting events with concession stands nearby.
The music that goes along with this brand is up beat, happy, fast paced, silly.
I chose a push pop because it was visually appealing and had an easy concept of being able to eat it without making a mess or getting my hands sticky.
I would describe push pop candy as a magic compact sucker that appears when you take the top off but goes back down into its container when you put the lid on. A hygienic way to put your lollipop down when you are not finished with it.
The perfect occasion for eating a push pop is a long movie because it can be savored throughout the movie as well as put away at times without it getting dirty or stuck to other things.
When I think of push pops it reminds me of a light savor physique combined with a lollipop.
Eating this candy makes me feel like I am opening a jack-in-the box every time I take the lid off.
The kind of people who eat this brand the most are kids who would prefer a sucker over chocolate but have parents who want them to keep it clean.
The music that goes along with eating this brand would be the jack in the box music.
I chose the sour lifesaver gummies because I like the soft texture with a sour twist to them.
I would describe sour lifesaver gummies as a spherical shape with a hole in the middle but very bendable.
The perfect occasion for eating sour lifesaver gummies is a summer picnic because they do not melt like chocolate would.
When I think of sour lifesaver gummies it reminds me of my job because I am a lifeguard at a pool where I am trained to keep people safe.
Eating this candy makes me feel calm, relaxed and happy because their bendable shape reminds me to be flexible with life.
The kind of people who eat this brand the most are laid back people who like a little pizzazz to their life.
The music that goes along with eating this brand would be soft, tropical, beach music that you would hear at a oceanic restaurant.
I chose a baby bottle pop because it combined my love for a lollipop with a sour powder all into one candy.
I would describe a baby bottle pop as a sweet lollipop in the shape of a baby bottle that can be unscrewed and dipped into a sour powder to mix two flavors together.
The perfect occasion for eating baby bottle pops is a baseball game where the innings can stretch out and you need something to keep your attention.
When I think of baby bottle pops it reminds me of a baby drinking out of a bottle with a surprised look on their face when they drink something they didn’t expect.
Eating this candy makes me feel like a circus because the two tastes of sour and sweet combined are exciting like a trick in the circus.
The kind of people who eat this brand the most are inconsistent people who cannot make a decision on what type of candy they are craving.
The music that goes along with eating this brand is wild, loud and changing tempo.
I want to eat the cherry air head the most right now because it brings back so many positive memories of my childhood.
The candy that would be left last in the box would be the orange airhead because I dislike orange flavored items the most.
My initial reaction to the lifesaver gummies is one of eager anticipation to eat them due to the fact that I have not eaten these in a very long time.
My initial reaction to the sourpatch kids was how ironic because that is the candy that I chose to purchase with my five dollars in step one.
I prefer Sourpatch kids because I have routinely bought this candy since a child and I love the flavors that they contain.
I like the soft shape of the lifesaver gummies and how flexible they are, however I dislike some of the funky flavors that they have.
I like the flavors of the sourpatch kids but dislike the way it makes your tongue feel fuzzy after you eat too many.
I routinely do not eat the lifesaver gummies. I usually eat sourpatch kids when I am in my room doing homework or at a movie when I want a break and something new and exciting.
Thanks for answering my questions! Sounds like the Gobstopper package did a lot right--was colorful, had a good description--but you did not end up buying it. How come?
ReplyDeleteAlso, great detail in your descriptions of the Care Package Experiment. Thanks!
