Food biz Kids ‘teens will eat anything in sight.’ on-the-go snack from Quaker Emily Fishkin, 8th grade: Mini Delights taste sweet and crunchy. Obviously, it tastes like peanut butter. It’s almost like eating crispy cookies covered in peanut butter. The texture is nice, because they aren’t heavy; they are light and crispy. They smell like peanut butter. The bag is easy to open, and the packaging is no nonsense, which I like. Kids would like these because they are sweet. Teens will like them because they eat anything in sight. Adults will like these because they’re healthy. Frank Stelter-Hogh, 8h grade: Quaker mini delights multigrain cakes, Peanut Butter Flavor the Quaker oats co., chicago Ben Sommer, 8th grade: It is a very peanut buttery snack, and I like it to some extent. It is kind of soft but crunchy. It doesn’t have a strong smell. It is kind of hard to open, but not extremely. This is mainly for small children due to its small size. Josh Irving, 8th grade: These are definitely odd, but overall I like the Mini Delights taste. It’s sort of rough feeling and peanut butter smelling. I would assume if I like them, other teens and kids would too. Allison Wint, 8th grade: Mini Delights taste like a peanut butter cracker. It tastes good, and yes, I like it. It is crunchy and feels a little rough and smells like peanut butter. The package is appealing and not hard to open; it’s perfect. Any age can use this product. Vanessa Flores, 8th grade: This tastes like bread with peanut butter. The texture is like tan with a light brown line and it is crunchy. The smell is of peanut butter. The packaging is appealing; it will catch your eye. Kids from the ages of five or older would use this. Ellie Kirk, 8th grade: Mini Delights Peanut Butter taste like soft, tasty peanut butter with a little taste of rice, and it has that nice flavor I like. It feels rough from the cake and soft from the peanut butter side. It’s very crunchy and has that buttery smell. The package is really easy to open and this will appeal to everyone. Lindsay Toland, 8th grade: These taste like a sweet peanut butter rice cake. They are a little dry, but still good, and they don’t hurt your throat. They are semi-crunchy bars that smell like peanut buttery cardboard. The packaging is not appealing, but easy to open. Julio Almanza, 8th grade: There are many ways to describe the serene taste and smell of this snack. I don’t think children would like to choose this over a bag of cookies. Although this snack is healthy, it doesn’t deliver the kind of taste children or teens would deem as tasty. But, I would recommend this product to adults because they have knowledge of what would seem good and bad. As I opened the package, the first word that popped in my head was “yum!” As I ate this snack, I noticed a few odd flavors … peanut butter and rice. Now, to me, that isn’t the kind of flavor I want to taste. 20 • Food Processing August 2008 It tastes peanut buttery crunchy. It tastes sweet and good. I like it because it’s healthy.
