How will people react to free fruit snacks? Will they think I&#8217;m crazy? Will they be suspicious? Will they take them with no hesitation? We shall find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During this observation period, I handed the snacks out to some people and for others I simply offered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first person that I handed, or at least attempted to hand, a pack of fruit snacks to was a male in the library who was just leaving from grabbing coffee so I figured he could use to some food as well. No words said, I stuck out the fruit snacks quickly and the student declined politely while continuing to walk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay, on to the next. This times I wanted to actually offer them to someone and keep them in the box. So, I walked up to a group of women upstairs in the library and whispered, &#8220;would any of you like some free fruit snacks?&#8221; I was asked why they were free and if anything was wrong with them but once I cleared the air the women gladly took 1 pack each with a smile on their faces. I probably would be skeptical about free fruit snacks as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given my success with the last group, I felt as if that method was too easy. The last method I tried was standing by the cafe and holding up the box while saying &#8220;FIRST COME FIRST SERVED!&#8221; The main reaction I got from people were laughs and straight up being ignored, aka no reaction. At that point I felt like I wasn&#8217;t being take seriously and I even felt like I was being punished as if I was on Impractical Jokers or something. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was able to hand out a couple more packs without any question to a group of football players on campus that I am familiar with. Didn&#8217;t expect any of those guys to pass up a chance at a free snack! I was left with 2 packs and honestly, I took those home and ate them for myself. Ross was so kind as to give me a box for free so I figured a little indulgence for myself wouldn&#8217;t hurt anybody!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One box of fruit snacks vs. Morningside.
