Chocolate Survey

Since 1928, the H. B. Reese company's been making the irresistible combination of chocolate and peanut butter known as the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. The significance of this artifact in the american culture and history is, without a doubt, vastly significant. As a confection, both peanut butter and chocolate pack a strong punch in their own right. They are often main ingredients in cookies, cakes, ice creams, and other desserts and treats.They're familiar… there’s something instinctively American and close to home about them both. It is no wonder they need very little persuasion of the American people to become the number one most popular candy in the United States by a wide margin.

Our poll was to ask people their favorite fast food restaurant. We thought that out of Chick-fil-a, Zaxby’s, McDonald's, and Wendy’s the most popular would be Chick-fil-a. We also thought that McDonald's would be the least voted for. One reason why people voted for Chick-fil-a was that “The chicken is high quality and delicious” (Murray, Gavin. Personal interview. 3 September 2015.) Chick-fil-a being the most voted for shows it’s liked the best. After Anh voted for Zaxby’s, she said, “Zaxby’s is the most tasteful” (Do, Anh. Personal interview. 3 September 2015.) Zaxby’s being voted for the second most reveals that it’s well liked. The reason why Vince chose Wendy’s was: “It is Cheaper but is still tasty” (Giordano, Vince. Personal interview.

If the company we outsource with has some sort of issue with its equipment or is running behind schedule it will delay our orders and reflect poorly upon our company. If we choose not to do anything we will continue running at inefficient levels costing us more and more money as time goes on.

A Snickers bar is the best in its class. At least, that is what Mars strives to convey in their commercials. Specifically, in Mars’ Snickers commercial that features Betty White, the candy bar is portrayed as the leading option when it comes to satisfying hunger. In addition, Mars plays upon the extreme notion that, by consuming a Snickers bar, you will become a better you. Unfortunately, in the process of convincing its audience that it is the best candy bar in its class, Mars commits logical fallacies, such as hasty generalization, a false dichotomy, and appeal to authority.

The first eight questions pertain to each participant’s personal information (e.g. age, gender, race, etc.) as well as their lifestyles (e.g. activity level, employment, etc.). The next question determines whether or not the participant will answer the next four questions or skip down to question thirteen and fourteen. This style of questionnaire is referred to as branching questionnaire and allows for the questionnaire respondent to move through the questions a different way depending on their answer

While Europe and the United States account for most chocolate consumption, the confection is growing in popularity in Asia and market forecasts are optimistic about the prospects in China and India (Nieburg, 2013, para 9). According to the CNN Freedom Project, the chocolate industry rakes in $83 billion a year, surpassing the Gross Domestic Product of over a hundred nations (“Who consumes the most chocolate,” 2012, para 3).

Candy is not yet a “mature” industry in the United States. The compound annual growth rate for candy in the past ten years has been close to 6% a year, a very solid gain in an industry that is supposedly mature. In fact, within the chocolate confectionery subcategory, the United States ranks 11th in the world in per capita consumption and fifth in the world in growth since 1980. Based on current demographics, many analysts believe that there will be further growth for confectioneries. A “baby-boomlet” is on the way, significantly increasing the teenage population. By the time the population bulge peaks in the year 2010, it will top the baby boom in the 1960s in both size and duration. According to government statistics, the percentage of children between the age of 5 and 14 will rise during the 1990s, increasing from 14.2 percent of the population in the 1990 to 14.5 percent in the year 2000. This trend will serve as a strong foundation for increasing consumption of confectionery products through the end of the century. Nevertheless, spending for food and drink as a percentage of all personal consumption is declining in the United States, and most manufacturers recognize that future opportunities lie in using profits from domestic

Your peers and elders have had experience so they can assist you when you are making unerring choices. When I first began baking, I made triple chocolate brownies. I did not have much knowledge of baking. My mom, who has baked many times in her life, suggested that following a recipe is necessary to produce a pleasant outcome. She provided me with this segment of advice because she has an understanding of what can happen if I decide to measure accurately.

It was my birthday. Two things that I never thought would happen. One was me getting a chocolate lab I named Hazel,the second was losing a loved one.These two thing happened on one day that I will love and hate for the rest of my life.

As of October 2012, Andrea Torres, director of new product development at Montreaux Chocolate USA, needs to recommend whether or not the company should pursue a new product launch in the United States. The new product, a 70% cocoa dark chocolate with fruit product, has been tested because of “its heightened revenue potential, better alignment with health and wellness initiatives, and strong consumer acceptance of the proposition” (Quelch 7). This memo will address the

“The Dark Side of Chocolate” is a documentary that explores the underlying issues prevalent in the cocoa trade. For most first world countries chocolate is seen as an accessible treat, however in third world countries, the production of cocoa creates social issues that must be eliminated. Cocoa trade is one of the largest industries in West African countries, but the issues that arise from such trade do more harm than good. The cocoa plantations are trafficking humans to work on their plantations. Furthermore, most instances suggest that these workers do not receive any compensation for their work and most importantly some of these slave laborers are children. Thus, the three issues that the cocoa companies routinely commit in exchange for lower costs are human trafficking, slave labor, and child labor. These companies are aware of such issues but refuse to actively combat them because they are better off financially. It can be argued that these issues can be mitigated through various social, governmental and political policies aimed at combating these problems. The three main issues will be addressed and the various stakeholders affected by these issues will be analyzed. Then this paper will look at the possible solutions to these issues, whereby through government, social or political means.
