1) What snack food did you choose? I was torn between cheetos and Gummy bears but I chose Haribos Gummy Bears as my favorite snack.

2.) Describe this snack food. What is it, and what does it taste like? This snack is nice soothing and delicious snack that you can eat no matter what. A bunch of small bears with fruit flavors and so great for traveling and it taste like the best fruit candy I ever tasted. Better than gummy worms, sour patch kids, sweet tarts, skittles was close but gummy bears is just a little bit better.

3.) Why is this your favorite snack food? What role does it play in your life? When and why do you eat it? Do you have any memories associated with it? This is my favorite snack because this snack is quick and efficient to eat in one sitting and enjoy your appetite and crave more. This snack plays a role in my life is I got hooked on to this snack when I was a kid growing up and I always saw my family eat this snack and I always wondered what it was and one day when I was like 6 or 7 I asked my parents to buy me some gummy bears and ever since then I like gummy bears and like them ever since. I eat these when I am relaxing in my room whether it is watching sports or any other TV show or playing my video game. I eat during those times because it is relaxing for me to just sit back and eat those all day or in one sitting and it does not get messy just eat it and throw it out. Memories I have eating these gummy bears is this past semester before the semester got shutdown I went on this church trip from school going to Iowa I had them on the bus ride there, and I had them in the fall during football season just to eat during the football games.

Talk Section
Who should our audiences be?- Anna

We could do college students wants study break snacks- Mary

That's perfect. How about for our second audience we could do snacks for watching movies? Also what criteria should we make? - Anna

Are we supposed to pick multiple audiences or just one? I think the criteria will depend on which audience we choose. If we choose college students wants a snack break, maybe we could refine it more to Penn state students because my specific snack is more of a regional finding than national.- Mary

Yeah, that sounds perfect, here's what I'm thinking we do in a broad sense: We pick an audience, which will also be like the title of our wiki page like “the best snacks for college students” or something like that and one of us needs to make a introduction section, and the other one of us will edit it. And once we come up with our criteria for ranking the snack foods based on the audience we chose we’ll each edit each others section to fit the criteria and audience - Anna

Okay awesome. For the audience we should do “the best snacks for college students”. Our Criteria could include, cost, accessibility, if its quick/ easy to make, shelf-life. Etc. - Mary

Should our audience be a little more specific? Or not? I'm fine with either. Also I think the criteria is perfect, should we stick with the first three criteria points you suggested? - Anna

We could do best “the best late night snack for Penn state students”. Yes the first three criteria work and should be easily applied to both of your submissions. I think you will have to edit mine a little but and vice versa. - Mary

Okay, sounds good. I'll start on the introduction. - Anna

We need to rate our snacks based on our criteria - Anna

So right now we only have one audience then? It says on the assignment sheet that we need two but I am a little confused how all that comes together. How will two audiences work for the same information? -Ethan Whitmoyer

We only need one audience outwardly, I believe on the assignment sheet it says one audience is in the talk section, like how we talk to each other - Anna

Alright, I understand now, thanks -Ethan Whitmoyer

Okay, I believe Antonio put his subsection in the talk side of this wiki? Should I move it over so I can work on editing it to meet our criteria in the user page? - Ethan Whitmoyer

Okay, I will work on editing the Martins chip section to meet our criteria, I believe my post still needs edited as well. - Ethan Whitmoyer

I have the Martin Potato chip section edited to meet our criteria, I have to work for a while here, I believe I need to add the hyperlinks to the article and I'll get that done before its due at 4:40. I hope the rest of y'all get on soon and work on your part so we can finish this up. -Ethan Whitmoyer

Alrighty, what else needs to be done for this at this point? Do we just need to make some edits to the other sections at this point? -Ethan Brummer

I think we need to add hyperlinks and rankings for each of the snack foods.- Mary

What rankings should we give each snack?-Mary

I was thinking the stickies then the chips then the almonds then the takes. But that is just how I would rank them. Is there still a missing section that someone needs to upload or do we only have 4 snacks? -Ethan Brummer

We do need to rank them still - Anna

I will add the hyperlinks, dose anyone wanna add the rankings to the introduction?-Mary

I could add the ranking to introduction, I mean is it based on just my opinion? Ethan Brummer, I believe some editing still needs done 2 of the subsections so they meet our audience and criteria. - Ethan Whitmoyer

Antonio you cant just upload your journal entry, it dosent match the criteria or audience that we have selected

^^ agreed, you need to at least put it in the correct format and take out the questions so someone else can edit it. Also maybe consider, participating before an hour before the assignment is due Antonio, now someone has to rush to finish the edits when it's your responsibility. -Anna

What's the opinion on adding the rankings, do we need it not? I don't see anything directly on the assignment sheet that we do but I would be willing to do something if we feel it is needed.- Ethan Whitmoyer

Also, 172.58.207.125 on the view history is an edit by Writefarms or Ethan Whitmoyer - Ethan Whitmoyer

I will edit Antonio’s work so that it fits the criteria and format of the wiki-Mary

Salt & Vinegar has not been edited but that was my article so I'm not really suppose to edit that one or I would.- Ethan Whitmoyer

I just did yours Ethan -Ethan Brummer

I am not sure what all to cite in the almonds one though.-Ethan Brummer

I just edited the almonds one as well and added some hyperlinks - Anna

Okay, it starting to look like this is coming to the end then, I assume Mary is still working on the Gummy Bear section? - Ethan Whitmoyer

I added a few hyperlinks in the gummy bear section. Not sure what else to do on the other ones. It looks like overall it is pretty good I think.-Ethan Brummer

Finished the gummy bear one if anyone has something else to add go for it. I think all we have to do it add rankings -Mary

Alright, do we want to just say in the intro that they are in order of how we would rank them? -Ethan Brummer

How are we ranking the snacks, based on our opinions?- Ethan Whitmoyer

The ranks I think need to be a group decision

We need to come to some sort of consensus I believe. I am just going to put in the intro that they are ranked in order of our favorite to least favorite. -Ethan Brummer

So if anyone is upset of what order they are in they are welcome to change it. Otherwise the way they are listed now is our ranking. -Ethan Brummer

Martin's Kettle Cooked Potato Chips
My favorite snack food at this time (because it normally changes) would have to be Martin's Kettle-cooked potato chips. This snack food is made out of potatoes. I assume most people know what potato chips taste like but these chips are extra good. They are very crunchy and and have just a more greasy taste (in a good way) than regular potato chips. This is my favorite snack food because they are just too delicious to pass up. Also my mom buys them all the time so they are almost always available in the house. I also just really like anything made from potatoes. We raise lots of potatoes on our farm and sell them to concession stands in the summer so potatoes have always been a big part of my life. The potato chip industry is much different from the french fry potato industry that we raise potatoes for but I still like to support any industry that deals with potatoes. I know how much the potatoes help us out financially and that is true for other potato farmers around the country. I normally eat these chips at different times throughout the day but normally I eat the most when I am driving the tractor or in the truck for a long car ride. I don't really have any memories that I can associate just to the potato chips but I do remember eating many of these chips on our family vacations when we drive out west.

Salt & Vinegar Almonds
My favorite snack food is Blue Diamond Salt & Vinegar almonds. If you ever have eaten a bag of salt & vinegar potato chips then you can imagine how these almonds taste. The nutty flavor of almonds combined with the savory spices of salt and tart vinegar creates a tantalizing experience in your mouth.

Blue Diamond uses a special process of blending malic acid with a vinegar base to mellow out the strong taste that vinegar has. Once the mixture has been combined and added to the almonds a generous coating of salt is sprinkled throughout the almonds which makes a delicious flavor and leaves consumers salivating for more after eating just a few. With the acidity added, the almonds are then coated in salt. What keeps consumers coming back for more is the vinegar in the mixture combines with your saliva creating a wonderful taste on your palate. You can't help but go back for two or even three handfuls of these almonds to continue satisfying that taste in your mouth.

This snack is my favorite because it is quick to eat and satisfies my hunger when I don't have time to make something to eat. As a college student I spend a lot of time on the go between classes and recreational activities so having a snack that taste good and is easily portable is convenient for me. This snack is very high in protein which is great for student athletes or anyone who is trying to avoid eating snacks that have too much sugar and carbs. The salt on the almonds also increases your thirst which helps me consume more water which is essential for your overall health. Almonds is also a great snack to add to salads as a topping and there are other ways that you can incorporate the almonds into meals to add flavor to the dish. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Writefarm/sandbox&action=edithttps://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Writefarm/sandbox&action=edit
