In this page, you will find links to all the data our group has collected in order to complete our project along with facts and information about the brands and distributors used for our research.
We have chosen Mars and Hersheys as the two companys to focus on for our research. Both companies offer a variety of candies to study and collect data from. Mars and Hersheys are both very well known chocolate companies and are easily recognized by their colorful packaging and clever advertising. But are these big name companies tricking their customers by displaying false size calculations on their wrappers? it is our job to research and find out! |
Data Collection Method:
To collect our data we will first collect as many different types of candy as possible. We will then list all the numbers for weight and size listed on the candy packaging. Next we will remove the candy from its wrapper to be sure the weight of the wrapper is not also added to the total size and weight of the candy. We will compare the weight that we get from weighing the candy alone to the weigh described on the candy wrapper. .
