Supplies have arrived and we’re having a BLAST (of caffeine)

Week 3 – Supplies have arrived and we’re having a BLAST (of caffeine)

Our project is well underway.  Last week, David placed an order for our first batch of BLAST CAFFEINE and it arrived over the weekend.  David and his roommates sampled the product in powder form and concluded that it works as described from the product description.  They added it to meals as well as to liquids and had great success.  We’re planning to acquire the remainder of our materials needed to bake this week and get cooking by the weekend!  We’ll be using pre-made muffin mix (per Dwight’s recommendation) and the associated materials required for baking. 

None of us have much experience with baking, so the first round of muffin prototyping could prove fatal.

After acquiring all our materials and doing some testing, we’ll be able to conduct a cost analysis and determine the per-unit cost of each muffin.  This will allow us to develop an appropriate selling cost for our first batch.

Questions for in-class polling:

-When you eat muffins in the morning, which size do you prefer? (Small, Medium, BIG)

-For coffee drinkers, how many cups do you drink on average in the morning?

- What time of the day are you most likely to be drinking caffeine (Am, noon/afternoon time, PM)

- Are there specific days you drink more caffeine (m, t,w,th,f,s,su)
