Making some open observations

The candy itself . . . (I might have tasted it a bit . . .)

  • chewy
  • sour
  • rough texture (once you start chewing)
  • each color has a a taste of the fruit it resembles
  •  orange--tastes like an orange
    • green--tastes like a lime
    • pink---strawberry
    • red--cherry
    • yellow--lemon
  • smooth texture before you bite
  • sticky (to your teeth)
  • green and yellow-sour
  • pink and red -sweet
  • orange--citrus tasting
  • delicious
  • decadent
  • sweet
  • sour (more sweet than sour)
  • sugary . . . can tell it has artificial flavoring
  • makes you thirsty
  • pill-shaped
  • feels smooth on the outside
  • oval-shaped
  • colorful (must have food coloring)
  • squeezable (easy smushed)
  • soft with tougher outer cell
  • easily roll into hand



Box:

  • colorful
  • bright
  • easy to read
  • Big font
  • green
  • suggests your eating real fruit
  • advertises with fruit so you feel better about eating it
  • fruitful
  • fun box--makes you happy to look at it
  • fonts are in fun sizes and makes the word fruit look cool
  • emphasizes the word fruit and not candy
  • deceivingly advertised as nutritious when it's candy
  • only one comma on the whole box under satisfaction gaurunteed













 EXTRA CREDIT:

Introductory comma in the "If you are not satisfied with the quality of this product, please save the unused portion and package."  Before the comma is the introductory, then the subject is an implied you and save is your verb.

  1. Nice comma! The If-Then comma is an interesting one. It creates a conditional clause, and some might not officially consider it an introductory comma, but here we certainly will and do!

    And tasting is definitely okay! It's a great way of making observations using all your senses.
