Comp II Assignment 3- Evaluation Whitey’s pumpkin flavored ice cream is probably the best tasting ice cream in the Quad Cities Area (QCA). Though several ice cream shops have sprung up in the QCA, Whitey’s not only evokes a feeling of the fall season but, a sense of community as well, especially the pumpkin flavored ice cream. Perhaps I’m setting myself up for a sold out visit to Whitey’s in search of my pumpkin flavored scoop atop a homemade waffle cone but, this ice cream is so good it deserves an Oscar. I understand this topic may seem a bit strange but as I sit down to write this paper, my husband rescues me with a bowl of pumpkin ice cream from Whitey’s. As the turquoise and yellow striped bowl is coming my way, I can’t

More Minutes of Flavor Robert Shipman DeVry University Professor Wunibald English 112 More Minutes of Flavor The ad posted by gum manufacturer, Beech Nut, for their peppermint flavored gum communicates the uniquely longer-lasting, better tasting flavor over other brands tested. The ad itself is colorful, simply displaying the event of an independent research study being conducted on selected secretaries. This approach directs attention to the fact that research is an effective method of determining what consumers think about their product and why. Beech Nut’s goal is to communicate to the reader that they, the consumer, can discover how long and how much they “enjoy its better, stronger peppermint flavor.” Using appeals to reason (logos), to practicality (ethos), and to emotion (pathos) they successfully and effectively persuade the reader to believe that the gum they provide has been consumer tested for enjoyment, better taste, and “more minutes of flavor.” Beech Nut uses an appeal to the consumer’s sense of reason (logos) to persuade them into believing that most secretaries prefer their gum to the other brands. Beech Nut starts out with a statement that creates an interest in the consumer to find out what secretaries think.
High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) was introduced back in the 1970’s and quickly filled the demand within the soft drink industry. Sodas depended heavily on the sugar cane as a natural sweetener; unfortunately it was unstable and volatile. HFCS provided consistency and was easily accessible when it was introduced and financially made more sense when compared to the unsteady cost of sugar. Before you knew it, HFCS found its way into foods and was no longer just for the soft drink industry. Today, HFCS can be found in just about every food product that you can think of.
The data received by testing the two enzymes, Pectinase, and Cellulose would show witch enzyme can remove more juice during this process and decide the data would show the most effective plan to increase juice production for a Connecticut company in the business of making and selling apple juice. III. Hypothesis: If the amount of juice produced by Pectinase (ml) is greater than the amount of Cellulose (ml) then the Pectinase will be more effective because more juice is produced in each trial containing Pectinase. IV. Materials: - Apple Sauce (25 grams per cup) - 4 Cups - 4 Filters - 1 Scale - 1 Graduated Cylinder - 1 Funnel - 1 Stirring Rod - 1 Syringe Enzymes - Pectinase - Cellulose V.
