INTRODUCTION The purpose of the design is to test and compare three brands of gummy bears. The three bands we will be testing are Trolli, Sweet Smiles, and Haribo. The purpose of the experiment was to test and compare the three brands to determine which has the best chewiness and which has the best flavor. The third criteria tested was the elasticity between the three brands, meaning which brand can resume normal shape after being stretched. Our prediction for the study was that Trolli will be ranked highest in both flavor and chewiness. We also predicted that the subjects responses will prove that …show more content…
To do this we simply stretched the various brands of gummy bears, to the point where they could stretch no further, before they tore in half. Trolli once again had the highest number in terms of the averages. Tolli had an average of 6.7cm. The Sweet Smiles brand had an average of 3.83, and the Haribo brand had an average of 3.1. Does size play a role in the chewiness, flavor, or elasticity of the gummy worm? Here we decided to weight each gummy worm. The Trolli gummy bears, being slightly larger than that of the other two brands, Haribo and Sweet Smiles, obviously weighed more. Figure 1.4 Gummy bear weights To weigh each of the gummy bears we used a balance. Each of the three brands was weighed three times. We then submerged one of each type of gummy worm in a 500ml beaker for about 15 minutes. This was to get an accurate measure of their weight, by averaging the average weight before and after they were placed in water. Figure 1.4 shows a representation of the results.
CONCLUSION
In summary, our hypothesis was proved right. We predicted that Trolli would be ranked highest in both flavor and chewiness. In comparing the three brands, Trolli, Sweet Smiles, and Haribo, Trolli was rated highest in flavor and chewiness. Trolli also had the largest rate in elasticity. Our data, charts, and graphs support our
