A reverse scavenger hunt is giving something away to people rather than having to find a specific object. For this specific reverse scavenger hunt, I was handing out avenger fruit snacks. There was a variety of yummy snacks that we could choose, but I chose the avengers because they are one of my favorite movie series. I had originally thought that I would just put a sign on the box and let people grab them if they would like and just observe the interaction. Instead, I ended up going with the more traditional route and just attempted handing them out to people. I was curious to see how this experiment would go and how people would react to a stranger offering them food with no further explanation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I decided I would try to pass out as many fruit snacks as possible to the students in my next class. I started with the professor for the next class. His response to me was originally a \u201cno\u201d, and his immediate reaction that he gave me was suspicious and cautious. After asking him why he said \u201csure why not. I was going to say no because of the sugar, but then realized I was drinking coffee\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After that I tried to go with two students in my next class. I figured that maybe I would get better reactions from young college students instead. The first student I asked had a bit of a puzzled look on his face and then told me \u201cno I ate too many snacks last night\u201d and opted to not take one. The second student that I offered it to didn\u2019t even hesitate and said \u201cabsolutely\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The majority of the people I asked said no originally but would soon later switch to a yes. It seemed like the crowd that was most likely to grab the fruit snacks were the students, while the staff seemed to be a bit more hesitant and confused by the offer. I figured that the students would be more likely to grab a snack, especially if they are in between classes maybe. That\u2019s not to say that the students didn\u2019t hesitate either though. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
