MY Campaign for Equal Distribution of Colours in a tube of Wine Gums!

As people know I do not like chocolate in any shape or form. I am allergic to it and really just avoid any unpleasantness by simply not eating it at all. However, I do like wine gums, the green ones to be precise. Each day I buy a packet of wine gums, round about tea time when I do the shopping. The pupils from the local school I teach at know yhis, and know they are in for a treat. I only eat the green ones! However they are always in the minority. I am going to carry out some market research so I can substantiate my letter of complaint to the wine gum company, Maynards. I need some volunteers. I think 10 would be a good number. I want each of the 10 people to buy a tube of wine gums. Not a box or a packet, a tube. I think they cost around 65p! Then if they count the number of colours in each tube and let me have the results I can collate the information and present it in a graph form. Now some people may feel they can not participate due to distance or availabilty of tubes of wine gums.....well you too can take part in my market research by voting in my pole, Simply vote for your favourite colour of wine gum. Use the scroll button to the right o the hamburger image to see all 5 colours. (There are no white wine gums in the tubes.) Again I will use this information in my letter. Needless to say I will keep you informed of any developments in my campaign! and now, in true mrs nesbitt's google style some information about wine gums, thanks to my friends the Wombies. Wine Gums Since all the Wombies are such Wine Gum aficionados, they each wanted to contribute to this celebration of the world's most perfect candy. Fraz Wombie By Fraz Roses are red, violets are blue. I really like Wine Gums, and so should you! Twink Wombie In Search of the Perfect Wine Gum Although it could be argued that every Wine Gum is indeed perfect, I must admit to finding some more perfect than others. As everyone knows, of course, Wine Gums contain no actual wine, but they can be favorably compared to a fine wine in terms of fragrance and taste. A quality Wine Gum must possess a fruity bouquet and a subtle, yet deep flavour. It should be mildly sweet, with a crisp aftertaste. Also like a fine wine, Wine Gums should be properly aged. This enhances the Wine Gum's consistency which should be neither too soft, nor too chewy. A just-made Wine Gum is generally too spongy, while one that is too old becomes hard and unpalatable. Although Wine Gums are usually enjoyed by themselves, they also make a delicious addition to many recipes, and can even be the main ingredient in various mouth-watering treats. "Wine Gum Delight," a chocolate-covered, cream-filled Wine Gum desert, is probably the most popular recipe from my best-selling "502 Wine Gum Recipes" cookbook. The search for the perfect Wine Gum is a not at all unpleasant task, and the quest has so far taken me to various locations around the world. While I do not believe I have yet found the perfect Wine Gum, I do feel duty-bound to continue my arduous search for the benefit of Wine Gum lovers everywhere. Of the traditional Wine Gum brands, I prefer Waterbridge for their firmer, chewier texture and tangier taste. Maynards are also quite good, but a bit soft for my liking. Other Wombies may disagree. Some of the lesser-known varieties, especially the no-name brands, are not so good, while some can be delightfully excellent. The Country Cottage brand, found in the North of England, and the Candies Du Rhine, from the South of France, are among the best Wine Gums this Wombie has ever tasted. In some countries, Wine Gums are non-existent, while in others, Wine Gums are referred to by different names, but in this regard, you simply cannot fool a Wombie. A Wine Gum by any other name tastes just as sweet. Winky Winky Wombie Ode to Wine Gums Wine Gums, Wine Gums, Wine Gums What would I do without you?

Abstract The Wine Gum Effect has long been debated among scientists, Wombies, and Wine Gum connoisseurs. In the present study, the benefits of Wine Gum ingestion in Wombies was investigated. A 30 day randomized, double blind trial was undertaken with 36 Wombies. The participants were split into three groups: The first group of 12 Wombies consumed the normal daily Wine Gum intake (NDWGI) of 200 grams. The second group of 12 Wombies consumed the NDWGI three times a day (600 grams total), and the last group of very unfortunate Wombies (VUW) were denied their NDWGI (0 grams). Wine Gums were ingested in a reconstituted powder form in an effort to prevent the Wombies from knowing to which group they were assigned. Additionally, this had the added benefit of eliminating the sensory stimuli normally associated with Wine Gum ingestion (odor, taste, chewiness), and helped to isolate the true biochemical and nutritional effects of the Wine Gums themselves. All participants were rigorously tested with Standardized Mental Performance Tests (SMPT) throughout the study period. Physical Performance Tests (PPT) were also undertaken at regular intervals. Results: Using group one as a control, the second group of Wombies scored 47.8% higher on their SMPT. They also had on average 32.1% higher PPT scores. On the other hand, the VUW group scored 87.6% lower on their SMPT and 83.3% lower on their PPT scores. Additionally, the VUW group were very irritable and uncooperative by the end of the study. Three of the VUW had to be removed from the study due to adverse Wine Gum Withdrawal (WGW) symptoms. Conclusions: Wine Gum Ingestion enhances mental concentration and physical performance in Wombies. It was conclusively demonstrated that Wombies require their NDWGI in order to thrive. Further study is warranted to determine if Wine Gums may have the same beneficial effects on human subjects.
