Oh Sugar, Sugar…
Sat 19th Jan- Jelly Belly Factory & Clothing Factory Outlets
Jelly Belly Factory: Today we drove an hour or so north from San Fran out to the Jelly Belly Factory which Hayley was keen to see. Turns out we all enjoyed the experience- even Neale who got picked as a 'brave' volunteer to eat an unknown bean and work out what it was. It was a 'booger' bean! Eww.
Neale's favourite: Cappuccino.
Susan's favourite: Birthday Cake Remix & Apple Pie-they tasted just like b'day cake batter with sprinkles in it & an apple pie.
Aidan's favourite: Sour Cherry followed closely by Dr Pepper but definitely didn't like the dirt flavoured beans.
Hayley's favourite: Candy Floss & Cranberry.
Clothing Outlets:
Hayley: TOUCH- Classic consumer. Our touchy feel girl needs to go through every rack of clothing- touching & feeling each piece and showing her nearest friend all she admires.
Aidan: HEARING- Shopping snob. If the music isn't right, he's out of there! If it is right- he'll find 2-3 items that are unique, individual & black.
Susan: SIGHT- Sales seeker. She'll scan the entire store and head for the sales racks first. If it's not on sale, it's a rip off! And no brand names. Brand names scream social hierarchy.
Neale: VOICE- Spontaneous spender. If something catches his eye, he'll ask the sales rep. lots of questions, tell them his life story and buy the item (usually at a reduced cost 'cos he's such a nice guy).
