Briangomez2019 (talk) 17:48, 16 April 2020 (UTC)== Top Snack foods ==

We need to rank the snack foods that we have chosen from 1 to 5. To do that we should come up with some criteria to rate them on. I believe that a snack food should be portable. Does anyone have any other criteria that they think is important, or think that a portable snack food is not important? Evansyder1 (talk) 21:48, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

I think other criteria we could use could be convenience, price, and other things related to actually getting the snacks.NickVaughn117 (talk) 00:53, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

Would convenience be buying the snack, being able to keep it in a backpack or both? Evansyder1 (talk) 01:03, 15 April 2020 (UTC) For convenience I just mean being able to buy it NickVaughn117 (talk) 01:15, 15 April 2020 (UTC) Sounds good, and I saw that you included accessibility in the intro which included some of what I was talking about. Evansyder1 (talk) 01:27, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

I like that you brought up the idea of portability, but I believe that all of these snacks are portable and can be consumed in little quantities on the go. Instead, we could possibly base the criteria on calorie intake or the specific ingredients consumed? --Mahshad Delshad (talk) 01:07, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

I wrote out a little introduction just to get something going so we can form the rest of the wiki page. Feel free to make changes.NickVaughn117 (talk) 01:15, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

Intro looks good, we just need one more category for another subsection since we have 5 people. Any ideas? --Mahshad Delshad (talk) 01:23, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

I like your idea of calorie intake more than the specific ingredients. Lots of ingredients go into these snacks and that could be a long process. I feel like we could easily include something about calorie intake. Evansyder1 (talk) 01:29, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

I like the idea of mentioning calorie intake because I know a lot of students worry about gaining weight in college, especially freshman with the "Freshman 15".Miamgouveia (talk) 02:43, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

I agree with Mia. Calorie intake is important especially in college where kids are not really getting much excercise compared to back home.Briangomez2019 (talk) 17:48, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Audience
Are we going to make the audience specifically college students? Or even more specific, such as Penn State students? Evansyder1 (talk) 07:08, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

I also did some hyperlinking on the intro paragraph. Let me know if there is somethings we should emphasize more/less when we hyperlink. Evansyder1 (talk) 07:10, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

I know few of us mentioned the market in East at Penn State carrying our snacks but I would think that most schools have a place like the market where students can buy snack foods, so I think the audience should just be college students in general. Also the other factors like portability and convenience apply to all college students.Miamgouveia (talk) 18:20, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

I changed the intro to include incoming freshmen as the main target to store snacks in their dorms. I think this could be more appropriate since a lot of us talk about getting the snacks from commons markets which freshmen visit a lot. NickVaughn117 (talk) 17:40, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Rankings
What are we thinking for ranks? Based off the criteria and the edits to the posts I would put 1. GoGo Squeez 2. Chobani Yogurt 3. Tostitos 4. Famous Amos Cookies 5. Oreo's NickVaughn117 (talk) 17:42, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

I agree with this but I think Famous Amos cookies should come before Tostitos. They are more portable in my opinion and I know a lot of people like to eat their Tostitos chips with salsa or some kind of dip, which takes time to prepare.Miamgouveia (talk) 17:46, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

I like how we separated the snacks, I feel like you can always eat GoGo Squeez, Chobani Yogurt, and Tostitos for nearly any type of meal. They're really healthy and super portable. Things like Famous Amos Cookies or Oreo's can probably be eaten maybe one or twice a day since they contain more calories, so I agree with the ranking.--Mahshad Delshad (talk) 17:50, 16 April 2020 (UTC) Agreed, most of the items are similar, but the nutrition separates them. Evansyder1 (talk) 17:53, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Where are we putting the ranking? Evansyder1 (talk) 17:58, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

I would just conclude the post with the ranking NickVaughn117 (talk) 18:00, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

I agree with Nick. Leave it as the result.Briangomez2019 (talk) 18:00, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

I think Famous Amos cookies and Double Stuf Oreo's should go behind GoGo Squeeze. Yogurt requires a spoon and the chances of having a spoon on you are very slim. Plus, yogurt makes a huge mess if you spill it. Other than that, I agree about Yogurt being able to be eaten whatever time of day. I agree with Mia on tostitos usually being eaten with salsa or some sauce. GoGo Squeeze is definitely the first place holder on this listBriangomez2019 (talk) 18:01, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

I would agree but all the markets have free plastic utensils by the checkout so its like you can always get a spoon when you buy the yogurt NickVaughn117 (talk) 18:04, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

I agree with Nick. Most stores will give you utensils if you ask for one, but the reason I chose Chobani Yogurt is that they also have drinks that you can grab on the go and enjoy with a meal or lunch if you don't have access to them. As far as I know, the yogurt drinks are always right next to the yogurt itself in nearly every store so it's really convenient. --Mahshad Delshad (talk) 19:23, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Makes sense. Alright then I like how the stuff is ranked then. Briangomez2019 (talk) 19:55, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Major Edits To Posts
I made changes to Mia's post. I removed some sentences that weren't relevant to the criteria and added some sentences describing how GoGo Squeez fit the criteria NickVaughn117 (talk) 18:07, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

I also switched the orders of the paragraphs to reflect the rankings NickVaughn117 (talk) 18:39, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
