We just had to go on another field trip, this one the pop factory. My student, Paulo, is the chemical engineer there and has wanted me to come so he could show off his talents. So I gathered up a posse of home school kids and off we went.
Paulo makes guarana, which is made from a small berry that has more caffeine than a coffee bean. Or so he says. I really like the stuff and it has been my Mountain Dew
replacement since arrival. The girls nodded appropriately and politely appeared as though they were interested in the boilers, mixers, assembly line, etc. But what they really were looking forward to was the cup of guarana they knew they were getting at the finish. It is pop after all, and they are kids.
