The workforce has greatly changed where we find people working across the hour and on contracts. This is due to the advancement of the 24-hour economy all over the developed countries. The people who are engrossed in work and others with schoolwork have very little time to prepare a decent meal. This will often result to a quick snack to keep them on their feet due to the limited time available. The product will come in handy with numerous food outlets where these people can hastily have a snack as they go along. These groups of people who work across the hour do not want something soggy, oily, or messy or something that may end up messing their paper work. They will hence prefer the peanuts as they are dry, easy to handle and manageable in consumption (Harriet 142).
As technology advances, it has brought about the extensive use of computers in most work places and almost all the employees can access them. From the classrooms, to the officesas well as the airports, computers have become the heart of any operational force in a company or organization. Students who work on papers until late at night will prefer that they get a ready snack as they extend to the midnight hour. The people who may be working for many hours will require a snack to boost their energy. The peanuts will come in handy when a person is using a computer in that there will be neither fluid spillage nor particles that may crumble into the keyboard. These are just the major hazards that may destroy the computers when handling them and the product ensures that the user of the computer is not hungry and the computer is as secure as possible (Spangle 70).
Lifestyles have changed greatly and so has the feeding habit of people across the globe. Many people are going for the nutritious food that will not harm them in any way and the one that boost their immune system. First, the peanuts have beneficial oils to the body of a human being that the body does not produce. The oils are necessary in lowering the cholesterol levels in an individual, as the peanuts are low in cholesterol. The oils in the peanuts provide an ant dioxide in neutralizing the poisons that some foods contain which the individual could have consumed from another source. On the other hand, there have been more people than ever before who are out to reduce their weight. The peanuts are very significant in providing them with the frequent snack that will suppress the urge to eat more and hence will help an individual in making sure the weight is reduced (Wright & Clough 20).
As much as people seem to be very busy at work most of the times, they have not deviated from the saying that goes all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. There have been so many activities introduced into the fabric of society that help the people in unwinding. An individual may choose to go for a cocktail party and in such an occasion, they consume snacks. The chocolate-coated peanuts come in handy as a small snack at the time when people go on to seep on their cocktails as well as exchange pleasantries. There are games played by many people all over the world such as baseball, which is famous in the United States. The association to peanuts is in an old sing along song about baseball written in 1927 (Lester 5).
“Take me out to the ball game;
Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack”
The mention of peanuts in the baseball games has been common making them a trademark in such events all the time.
In a world where everything is in a fast lane movement, this has brought about the rise of fast foods and the rise of fast snacks with packing of two or more snacks for easier consumption, for example, macaroni and cheese. The product having the chocolate coating will go a long way in impressing the customers into consuming it. This is because the fact that they will have the peanuts and the chocolate at the same time will attract them. This also comes as an added advantage in appearing fancy to the teenagers who are attracted to unique products in the market.
The product will have a cutting edge against their competitors especially in the packaging. This is because most peanuts come with the shells or coats, which may require an individual to remove them before eating. The best part about the product is that it has the chocolate coating that will even help in boosting not only the image of the product but also ease the consumption of the product unlike the similar products in the market. (Harriet 143).
Most shopping outlets market the product that is most popular with people so that the customers can come to the shopping outlet to purchase them leading to increased sales. The uniqueness of the product will attract many customers in different places and many outlets will be competing to market it to lure customers into their stores to purchase the products.
The main ingredients of the product are just the peanuts and the chocolate. The peanuts are raw in their original state and then they are either roasted or fried depending on the particular preference. There is melting of chocolate on the other hand and coating of the peanuts in the chocolate to prepare them for consumption. The peanuts come in different sizes and their packaging is in an assorted manner or simply sorted and selected according to their sizes and packaged. The sorted ones will cost more than the assorted ones as the former will have consumed more time in packaging. The packaging of the roasted and the fried peanuts is separately due to the difference in quality and they will not cost the same in the store.
The shelf life of the product will depend on the quality of chocolate used and the type of peanuts used. The shelf life may go up to one year, which is highly recommended and after that is appropriate to remove the product from the shelf. This is due to health related issues and because the freshly prepared ones will be more crunchy and appealing to eat. The initial intended production is at a volume of one thousand dozens within two weeks and if there were great reception, increase in production would be by five percent gradually (Spangle 73).
