The Invention Of The Sour Patch Kids

The students behind this invention are Viet Tran, a computer engineer major and Seth Robertson, an electrical engineer major.

In the article "How Candy Conquered America by Lauren Tarshis" and the article “This Cupcake Is Trying to Hurt You by Kristin Lewis" they both talk about candy and how it became so popular and how it is unhealthy. In the first article it says "They removed the chemical flavorings and colors. Big mistake! Loyal customers were furious. sales dropped 35 percent, and the company decided to return to the original formula." (Tarshis 25). In the second article it says "New studies have linked high-sugar diets to a host of other terrifying diseases too--Diabetes, cancer, heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure, and stroke. Sugar may also contribute to depression, tiredness, and learning and memory issues (not so great on the day of a big test).”

Nowadays, it seems as if you can find sugar anywhere and everywhere. You can go to the grocery store and there will be shelves upon shelves of candy bars. Not only are they plentiful, but they’re also cheap. It appears that every sugary food item is extremely affordable, and healthy foods are expensive. Well, it hasn’t always been that way. Sugar used to be expensive and difficult for many to afford. Candies and other sugar-packed foods were scarce and tasted horrible. But how has that affected how much we eat?

In the memoir “The Other Wes Moore” by Wes Moore, there are two people with the same name, Wes, who grew up in the city of Baltimore. The author Wes went to Military School for not doing well in school. While the Other Wes followed in his brothers’ footsteps by doing drugs and fighting. As the story progresses, both Wes’ face many challenges in their lives as they grow up. This makes both Wes’ a product of their own environment and knows the true meanings of their fate.

Let us not forget a huge transportation invention that came during the 19th century, the airplane. The airplane was invented by Orville and Wilbur Wright on December of 1903. The founders were also brothers, and they invented the first successful object which a machine carried a man rose by its own power. It had speed, descended without damage and flew naturally. As time passed the

First is the Nuclear Reactor, built in 1942 by the guy named Enrico Fermi was the world’s first nuclear reactor for producing power, Fermi called it an “atomic pile”also it was built in the University of Chicago(Smithsonian Timeline of Inventions). Four years later the microwave oven was introduced, but home microwaves didn’t appear until 1955. John Eckert and John Mauchly came up with the computer in 1946 at the University at Pennsylvania(Smithsonian Timeline of Inventions). It was called the ENICA, that stood for Electronic, Numerical, Integrator,and Calculator, it filled an entire room. During the war the U.S Army wanted an all-terrain recon vehicle,so the Willy Jeep was created. Army specs wanted the vehicle had to have four-wheel drive, a wheelbase not more than 80 inches, tread not more than 47 inches, ground clearance of at least 6.25 inches, a payload of 600 pounds, cooling system that would prevent engine overheating at sustained low speeds, and a vehicle weight of about 1,300 pounds(PAhistory). The jeep was built in Pennsylvania and made by a guy named Willys, owned a company called Willys-Overland. During the war automakers built about 650,000 jeeps during WW2, and entered the service in the late

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.

Neither of the brothers attended college, but instead, ventured forward together in becoming entrepreneurs. The two went to work in mastering the printing business, learning to work together to build their own printing presses. The teamwork between the two brothers led to the two opening a bicycle shop in 1892, at first selling and mending bikes, and later building them (Garber 2). Their success in the bicycle business led to their nickname, “The Wright Brothers,” and produced a reputation for their mechanical designs. Their skills and profits gained from mechanizing and building these bicycles would give them the basic knowledge and funding to help in their endeavors to mechanize aircraft later on (Garber 2). The boys’ experiences of working together and crafting printers and bicycles gave the two brothers skills that would be later used for their greatest challenge, flight. The Wright brothers did not simply forget the helicopter toy that their father brought home, dreams of man-controlled aviation still lingered in the brothers’ heads. The aviation endeavors of German aviator, Otto Lilienthal, sparked the duo’s earlier interest in aviation, which gave rise to the brothers beginning to devote their mechanical and design skills to solving the mystery behind

Even though the renowned Orville and Wilbur Wright are not with us anymore, their heroic go-getting attitude still shines in many modern inventions and innovations. I believe that the Wright brothers are heroes of

It has always been the dream of mankind wanting to join the birds in the sky, many innovators created various contraptions to achieve flight. On December 17, 1903, two brothers by the name of Wilbur and Orville Wright decided to test their contraption and it was successful. This event changed the course of aviation as the contraption known as Flyer 1 became the first successful powered heavier-than-air flight.

I learned a valuable lesson when I was just in second grade. It was “Never give peanut butter to men, they can’t be expected to stay clean.” It was a regular school day, near the end of lunch, and all I had left in my lunchbox was a small container of JIF peanut butter. Honestly, I wasn’t much of a fan of it at the time so I decided to give it to anybody who wanted it. I held out my JIF and muttered “Does anyone want my peanut butter?” I had no responses for a few seconds, and then the boy sitting across from me volunteered himself. I hesitated, this was the kid who always got in trouble and had to sit in an assigned seat. My kind heart gave in though and I handed him the peanut butter. I continued eating my lunch as he messily ate the peanut

Around the world small, sweet, sugar filled candies bring enjoyment to those who consume them. What are these tiny, pleasure inducing sweets? The answer is jelly beans. Jelly beans are produced in numerous varieties and flavors; therefore, their story is just as diverse and colorful as they are.

The Wright Brothers had an interesting life that led to the inspiration of their inventions later on. On April 16, 1867, Milton was born in Millville, Indiana; Orville, his brother, was born on August 19, 1871 in Dayton, Ohio (Ryan). Neither of them attended college, but this did not diminish their intellectual abilities. Instead, they founded a print shop in 1889 and a bicycle shop a few years later to make money for their family and themselves. These businesses helped fund their aeronautical interests. They started off by making kites to observe the basics of flight (Reynolds 44). After making enough money, they began to experiment with various contraptions that resembled the German glider created by Otto Lilenthal and Octave Chanute. To help figure out how they would make their
