What a day for me and my Spree!

Before Picture


I wake up in the morning and get out of bed and crawl to the shower to try and wake up.  I usually don't even remember the crawl between the bed and the shower.  I think I am still asleep.  I usually stand under the shower a good 10 minutes trying to wake up only to hear my mom shout through the door "save some hot water for the rest of the family John!". I barely wash my body and hair and then turn off the shower.  I wrap the towel around me and sit on the closed toilet seat and start to drowse off again.  Usually my mom shouts again through the closed door "John? John? Are you ok?"  After I grunt a response, I head to my room and pull on any type of clothing, sometimes it's inside out or backwards and then head to the kitchen to eat breakfast without even combing my hair.



During the bus ride to school, I reach into my pocket and pull out some Spree.  After I pop a few in my mouth, I start to hear and smell things that I had no clue about before......hey! I think I'm waking up!  Is that my friend Tyler sitting beside me? Did he get a haircut? The magical taste of the sweet Spree is setting off fireworks in my mouth!  Can't you just hear them?  Is that Angels singing? Nope, that's Madison singing the latest Usher song 2 rows forward.  I start chewing my Spree to the beat.  I love how Spree can so easily be broken up and carried in my pocket and eaten individually.  There's no melting or stickiness, just pop one in your mouth and start enjoying!

Wow, what a day at school.  I Aced my math test and finished all my homework in class so that means I have the night off!  I will be bonding with my Xbox tonight!  What started off as a rough morning ended as a great day!  I think those Spree candiees were just what I needed to kick start my day.  I need to make sure that I have some in my pocket again tomorrow.  I wonder if I should share with my brother? nahhhhhhh

Scientist Questionnaire - Life Savers Gummies Sours & Sour Patch Kids

What is your initial reaction to these two brands?
  • Life Savers Gummies - same whole in the middle, chewy and now sour? cool!
  • Sour Patch Kids - sour, sweet, gone! just like the commercial

Which of these two brands do you prefer and Why? Life Savers gummies because the flavors are better

Tell me what you like and dislike about each of them?
  • Life Savers Gummies - I like the flavor, texture and colors. I dislike how when you eat too much sour, it makes your tongue sore though.
  • Sour Patch Kids - I like the red & green only.  I don't like the orange & yellow; they taste too much alike and are not that good.  I like the sour and then sweet.
What types of places you are and what things you're doing when you eat them?
  • Life Savers Gummies - maybe a snack before I'm about to play baseball 
  • Sour Patch Kids - outside talking with  friends so I can share
