Everyone should know what caffeine is, correct? Well if not caffeine is a bitter white crystalline xanthenes alkide that is a psychoactive stimulant drug. It was discovered by Friedrich Ferdinand Runge in 1819.
Would you say caffeine is now a drug of choice? I would say so, because more and more people are depending on caffeine to ward off the effect of drowsiness and to restore alertness. 90% of North America consumes caffeine daily. Such as soda, coffees, chocolate, teas and ect.
The FDA list caffeine as a multipurpose safe food substance, but why? Consuming to much caffeine can cause a lot of side effects. Some side effects are Dehydration, Tremors, Hyperglycemia, and Anxiety. Attempting to quite consuming caffeine products can cause withdrawal. For more information on caffeine and their side effects you can visit WebMD or Wikipedia.com.
Why do you consume caffeine? Is it Addicting or is it just good? Tell me why you consume it daily.
Ugh! Finals, many students dread doing finals and that time has come. December 17th and 18Th are Fort Morgan high schools semester exam days.
Some may think just because its finals you have a super long test with extremely hard questions that you might breakout into a sweat, but that’s not true. Teachers can choose a test, project, or writing assignment for you to do. The thing is you decide whether you pass with playing colors or fail. Finals are a reflection on what you learned and how you applied it.
There are many ways of preparing for finals, but this is how some students here get ready.
“Read through the textbooks!” – Colton Baltazar, 10
“I DON’T!” – Sam Wilkinson, 10
“Take notes and read through the book.” – Sandy Bahr, 10
Well after each test there is a break. The breaks are about 10 minutes long, so you can get to your next class on time. You have plenty of time to go to the rest room, locker, and study for a while.
After a long day of finals you could go home a just relax. So here is a video created on animoto about finals.

The Hershey bar everyone knows and loves has evolved overtime. It was founded by Milton Hershey in 1900, in a town called Derry Church, Pennsylvania, but soon later renamed as Hershey, Pennsylvania. He opened his factory there because it was the heart of dairy country. Later he soon opened a school called Hershey Industrial school in 1909, but now known as Milton Hershey School. It is also the world’s largest chocolate factory.
How has it evolved you ask! Well the Hershey bar has changed overtime as you all can tell. The Hershey bar was the first to come along and isn’t the last. There are at least fifty-five Hershey Products. A few of them I haven’t even heard of or seen. Like the Zagnut, 5th avenue, and Mauna Loa. So while doing some research I found what they all were.
A Zagnut is rich coconut covered in crunchy peanut butter. It was launched in 1930 and has been around for almost 75 years. It was acquired by the Hershey company in 1996.
A 5th avenue is a chocolate bar with a crunchy peanut butter center. It was created by William H. Luden in 1936.
Mauna Loa are macadamia nuts made in rich volcanic soil and tropical rains. They are known to be the richest macadamia nuts in the world.
So here are the facts on these candies/nuts. If you would like to learn more on any product click here!
These are just a few products sold world wide.
If you have any questions on any of these Hershey products visit the Hershey website.
