 **Mango Lab Report** : Greg, Anna M., Josh H., and Brittney T.  **Question-** Which Coke brand has better quality and is more healthy? **Observation**
 * It is a dark soda.


 * It has a lot of sugar.


 * It has a lot of caffeine.


 * It either comes in a can or bottle.


 * It is a carbonated drink.


 * It doesn't taste good when it's hot.


 * It doesn't taste good when it's decarbonated.


 * It tastes delicious.

 **Hypothesis-** We think the Get-mart brand will be less healthy and worse tasting than the name brand and the name brand will be the most desirable brand of coke. **Test Hypothesis**
 * Materials**


 * Store brand coke and name brand coke


 * Cups for testing.


 * Rubber gloves for the experiment testing.

 **Independent Variable** - The name brand coke   **Control** - The store brand coke     **Dependent Variable-** The name brand is of higher quality in taste and is healthier. <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; margin: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 1px; white-space: normal;"> **Steps For The Experiment:** Step #1. We will look to see which has more sugar, calories, fat, etc. <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; margin: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 1px; white-space: normal;"> Step #2. We will label the cups to the two different brands. <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; margin: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 1px; white-space: normal;"> Step #3. We will put on latex gloves to ensure that no liquids will spill on our hands. <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; margin: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 1px; white-space: normal;"> Step #4. We will taste to see which one is better tasting and has the highest quality. <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; margin: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 1px; white-space: normal;"> Step #5. We will state which one is better after we finish testing. <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; margin: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 1px; white-space: normal;"> Step #6. We will collect and study the data from both of the products. <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; margin: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 1px; white-space: normal;"> Step #7. We will fill in the data table with the data we have devolped from the experiment. <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; margin: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 1px; white-space: normal;"> **Data** <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; margin: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 1px; white-space: normal;">

Our hypothesis was that the name brand would be of higher quality in taste and healithiness. We were both right and wrong with our hypothesis. The name brand was of higher quality with healthiness, but the store brand was most preferable in the taste test. We believe that Get-mart has fine products, but the name brand coke was a cut above the rest.
