World Record Snicker’s Bar In January, employees at the Mars Wrigley plant in Waco, Texas, put together a “Guinness Book of Record winning” Snicker’s Bar. Evidently their winning candy bar (as seen above) weighed more that 4,700 pounds. It was 2 feet high and 26 inches wide. The article and description never mentioned how long this bar was. We could approximate that length by comparing the bar with the people standing behind it. 1. About how long do you guess that this candy bar is? Explain how you are judging this length. 2. What else do you wonder about this humongous bar of candy? Below is a cross section of a one-person size Snicker Bar. 3. What do you imagine that a cross section of this huge thing would look like? (Given the above dimensions, draw a cross section of the huge bar.) Peanuts Milk chocolate and caramel Nougat • Ground almonds Weight 2.07 ounces; 52.7 grams • Honey Dimensions 3.75 inches x 1.2 inches x 0.7 inches • Sugar 9.53 cm x 3.05 cm x 1.8 cm • Egg whites Servings 1 4. Does your cross section drawing of the huge bar seem to have the same proportions of height to width as the one-person Snickers Bar? 5. Again, given the information about a one-serving size Snickers Bar, how many people do you think this giant Snickers bar could feed? In the article about this winning Snickers bar, we were told that it would be shared only with Mars employees. The article claimed that this bar was the size of 43,000 single-sized Snickers bars. 6. If this wasn’t the same answer that you got for problem number 5, how do you think they calculated differently from you. Did they use more or less than 2.07 ounces for one serving? 7. Do you see any problem with trying to cut this bar up to create that many servings?

Healthy Candy Bars
[Market Trends] Vol. 21 No. 6 June 2011 Candy Bars You Can Feel Good About By Kimberly J. Decker, Contributing Editor Paul Frantellizzi thinks we should all just give up the guilt and make like the ancients. The founder and CEO of Good Cacao, Boise, ID, notes the “many recent articles and studies now surfacing to confirm what the Mayan culture knew all along: Chocolate is good for you." To those of us who always considered a premium bar a bit of an over-the-counter “wonder drug, “this comes as little surprise. But to others— enamored of the notion that whatever tastes good must be bad for you—it flies in the face of conventional wisdom. But convention isn’t what it used to be, as more of us accept that a judiciously savored (and strategically formulated) candy bar need not oblige one to do penance. “The response we’ve gotten Candy a Top Impulse Buy at Checkout has been huge," Frantellizzi says of his company’s organic “functional" chocolates. A recent consumer survey regarding front-end checkout reveals But no shine from a healthy halo can that candy, magazines and soft drinks are the top impulse buys supplant what’s made candy bars so by most shoppers at the checkout line and retailers are missing opportunities for impulse sales. irresistible all along: pure sensory pleasure.
