Does Clancy's Popcorn Have The Most Unpopped Kernels

639 Words3 Pages

My hypothesis is Clancy’s Popcorn will have the most popped kernels and Pop-Secret will have the least popped kernels. This hypothesis is testable, because I can buy several brands including the ones I mentioned and pop the popcorn and see how many kernels were popped. It could be falsified if I were to test it and record the results, which I will do, and another were to do the same and find different results. My materials are 3 bags of Clancy’s Popcorn brand, 3 bags of Act II brand, 3 bags of Orville Redenbacher brand, 3 bags of Pop-Secret brand, a microwave, and a bowl. I used the original butter flavor so the result was the same according to the flavor. I also have three trials of each brand to average the popped kernels and the unpopped kernels and to see the most absolute results. …show more content…

Then, I counted the unpopped and popped kernels and wrote the results. I did the same steps from before for the other brands and trials. After I had my results written down, I averaged the 3 trials for each brand of popcorn. The percentages of kernels popped of the Orville Redenbacher were 84%, 84%, and 86%. I averaged all three of them and it was an average of 84% kernels popped for the Orville Redenbacher brand. The percentages of kernels popped of the Pop-Secret brand were 72%, 20%, and 45%. The average of all three was 45% of the kernels popped for the Pop-Secret brand. The percentages of the Clancy’s Popcorn brand were 87%, 79%, and 86%. The average for all three of them was 84% kernels popped for the Clancy’s Popcorn. The percentages for the Act II brand were 79%, 85%, and 91%. The average for all three of them was 85% kernels popped for the Act II brand. I was partially correct in my

With this large consumer base it comes to no surprise that bagel consumption has increased by 150% during the past decade, leading the trend toward simpler and more convenient breakfast foods according to U.S. Foodservice magazine. The bagel market itself is a $1.4 billion market that is continuously growing on a yearly basis (Boy, 2014). This provides that the product Hot Cheetos bagel has a high potential to hit the market since the bagel market itself is expanding and if a company does not act now they will not gain in market share.
