Gumballs: A Short Story

It's October in New Mexico, I'm making my way back to my dorm room. It's cold and a small breezes pushes leaves off the trees, like cavemen forcing mammoths off cliffs. I'm still high from the Sub D I took at Emma's house. As I finally make it home.

We tested three different brands of bubble gum. The three brands are Bubble Yum, Bazooka, and Bubblicious. There were 3 people that blew bubbles for our experiment. My Mom, Dad, and myself were the three bubble blowers. We each read a couple of articles on the best way to blow big bubbles. We then chewed each piece of gum for three minutes before blowing the bubble. We used a ruler to measure the diameter of the bubble in centimeters. Through my research, I believe that the bubble gum with the highest sugar content will blow the biggest bubble.

I currently bought eight bags of your tootsie roll candy. From the Family Dollar Store at 36650 Passion Ave. on 9/30/16.

Genetics is a captivating but difficult subject for students. Lab experiments like ‘Gummy Bear Genetics’ can aid in needed areas of genetics. Student can often observe the phenotypes in gummy bears, but when trying to visualize which parental genes that are represented in a cross-bred first (F1) generation can be challenging. In this experiment, students worked in small groups to determine the parental (P) generations of 196 gummy bears. The gummy bear candy appealed to student appetites and the chosen phenotypic characteristic were easy to choose because gummy bears come in numerous colors (red, green, orange, yellow and colorless). Students will be able to establish which genetic information, including genotype, phenotype, dominant traits, and recessive traits, were passed from the P generation to the F1 generation

I am a self-proclaimed chocoholic. Seeing that I adore all things chocolate, it is no surprise that my favorite Tootsie Pop flavor is chocolate. Whenever I tear off the wrapper of a chocolate Tootsie Pop, I am thrilled. They are delicious. I enjoy chocolate Tootsie Pops because they are, well, chocolate. Tootsie Pops do a wonderful job of making their products taste like chocolate. Coupled with the creamy Tootsie center, chocolate Tootsie Pops are a chocolate lover’s dream. Therefore, chocolate Tootsie Pops are my favorite

I am sure we have all seen or heard about taffy. What I would think would come to mind to most people when I would say something regarding taffy might be something concerning saltwater taffy. I love saltwater taffy. It seems that it is not in great supply around here. The only place I know of is somewhere like the cracker barrel. Needless to say I never go to cracker barrel, and it is a little more than I feel comfortable spending on candy. So I find myself resorting to a childhood favorite, laffy taffy. It is sold everywhere, and it is very inexpensive. I really started to like it when I played baseball as a kid. After the game I would always try to pump mom or dad for a few cents to stock up. It never made it home. I would somehow eat my entire entire stockpile. Whoever came up with the idea of putting jokes inside the wrapper is a very rich man. I could not help but to try to unwrap one more. The way the jokes where printed on the wrapper was very smart too. They would put one joke half way on the wrapper so it made me want to know the end of the joke, genius really.

Did you know that the whole “seven years” thing is a myth? A piece of swallowing gum won’t clog up your intestines, but it will be with you for a few days. Gum base can’t be digested, so it will pass through your system in one piece. That said, I still don’t recommend that you swallow it! Want to know more about gum just keep on reading!

The memories leading up to Sodapop Curtis' practical loss of sanity were still fresh in his own mind, though they seemed like they were centuries ago. The gut-wrenching memories always made him a fool when he'd be certain that they were forgotten, only for them to come crashing down on him like a ton of lead, and always at the worst moments. Sodapop would reminisce one of those sweet childhood memories, playing in the park with his brothers or mom's soft, gentle voice while she took care of him when he was sick. But the relief never lasted, and those memories would crumble to dust once the others arose from the still, deep waters. They consumed him, ate away at him like if he were nothing but a rotting corpse and just like that, he was dead

The tangerine orange glow of the Tootsie Pop’s curled and slightly crinkled wrapping heavily inscribed by the same name in clear, bolded bubbly font invites my attention. While slowly unraveling the carefully prepared smooth plastic, a familiar aroma of overwhelming citrus invades my nostrils. A swirling amber elliptical interrupted by a jutting horizontal ring around the surface married with a thickly rolled paper stick stares back at me in all it’s splendor. Encapsulated in its center is a hidden chocolate treasure sealed away by the hard candy shell. When the Tootsie Pop settles on my tongue, it awakes all my taste buds to absorb the rich, sweet, and savory qualities of the fruity sweet. Having another look I notice the unnatural shine of

Have you ever taken a bite into a fresh piece of gum and just died?The first chews of gum are the perfect way to start a soon to end experience. The way your tongue dissolve the booming flavor like a baby kicking for the first time ,but it's not the first time...it's maybe the 100th.Or like meeting someone you heard of ,but not met personally .The exciting part is when you're in the middle where the flavor is shy, but acting out at random moments. You chew and chew and chew and chew and chew and chew and with every bite into that clumped of piece of gum filled with saliva and 10 million thriving bacteria. The minty air rushes through your nose relieving your breath of a deadly stench…...and then it ends out of nowhere, but you chew and chew

It all began with an R2-D2 lunchbox and a box of gummy candies that cost a dollar. As a child, I've always had an affinity for making money. Initially, I believed this skill came from my name, Matthew, an apostle who left his great wealth to follow Jesus, or rather the Lord answered my mother who prayed for me to be successful. Nonetheless, the ability to sell and communicate to others came naturally. As I navigated the aisles of foodstuffs contained within the 99-cent stores, I saw not cheap food to consume but rather an opportunity. I stared intently at a brightly covered box of candy and seized it immediately. It was an early Monday morning; I was in the third grade preparing for school. I clutched the R2-D2 lunchbox close to my small chest; it measured no larger than a sheet or paper and no greater height than four inches. I managed to stuff ten packets of gummy bears in that bag that I planned to sell for fifty cents each. As I stepped into Ms. Scott's third-grade class, I immediately advertised wares, within seconds my peers flocked to me like sheep as I announced each aphrodisiac packet of worms cost fifty cents. Within seconds, a dollar investment became five dollars. An overwhelming sense of satisfaction began to take hold, and so began my passion for selling.

Gum, a tasty treat to chew on, but this treat can result in affecting your health. Studies defined that chewing gum can cause a person’s jaw to be used to temporomandibular joint disorder. The nasty treat that people touch or see can make them disgusted, chewing gum makes public, or private places unsanitary. In addition, chewing gum in experiments didn’t really help students to regain memory. Chewing gum should be prohibited in Middle schools, for students wellness, and health.

Details about the sample size, inclusion, exclusion, and the methods were appropriately stated and informed consent was given prior to the study. A statistical analysis was used to interpret the data by forming into table of the demographic, operative characteristics, and the clinical outcome (Jakkaew & Charoenkwan, 2012). The primary outcome was to measure the first passage of flatus and patients were instructed to report to flatus, defecation, and feeling of hunger and visual analog scores were used to measure the signs and symptoms of gastrointestinal disturbances (Jakkaew & Charoenkwan, 2012). The outcome assessor who was blinded to the study that helps eliminate the bias when collecting the data evaluated daily assessments. These methods were appropriate to measure the effects of gum chewing after surgery.

My gumball machine is consisted of a glass cylinder, which sits a, the wooden base, to hold and display the gumballs inside. The pinewood base holds a slider which dispenses a gumball on the surface below with ease. Some unique features on the device is the mason jar which gives it a vintage but modern look. Not only that the base of the machine has been routered to give it a interesting yet formal design.
