Awesome job! A few questions...
ReplyDeleteWhat makes Skittles good for being on the go, and at the movies? You also say Sour Patch Kids are good for the movies. How is a Skittles occasion different from a Sour Patch Kids occasion?
What about Sprees reminds you of picnics or "sweet nostalgia"?
Skittles and Sour Patch Kids are both bite size candies that don't have a wrapper and can we popped in your mouth.
ReplyDeleteThe Skittles movie watching experience is one that I want to feel warm and fuzzy inside, sweet and excited the way a romantic comedy makes me feel.
The Sour Patch Kids movie watching experience is one that I want to keep guessing, like a good syfi movie. When will the sour lead into the sweet gummy flavors.
Sprees candy reminds me of "sweet nostalgia" because its a candy that seems to have this established history with me and its customers.
