Description:

Now you can explore the science behind the delicious and engaging world of candy and other yummy treats. This fun and uniquely interactive exhibition will allow your visitors to:

  • Explore how taste and your other senses, such as sight and smell, are used by the human body to determine what tastes good
  • Examine the many uses of sugar from making chocolate treats to treating wounds to forming concrete bricks
  • Enjoy the rich history and cultural diversity of candy and other yummy treats from around the world
  • Experience the memories and the romantic powers associated with treats you love.

Look, smell, and taste your way through the exhibits. Discover the surprising biology, chemistry, physiology, and psychology behind the world of candy. Science has never tasted this good!

View a huge stack of sugar bags and learn how much added sugar is used by a person over a lifetime. See how long it takes to burn off a single sugar cube on a stationary bicycle. Jump on an oh-so-cushy giant tongue and learn about the incredible sensory complexity of the human tongue.

This 6,000-square-foot (560-square-meter) exhibition features multi-station interactive exhibits with a flexible design that can accommodate many types of display areas.

The exhibition involves the sampling of some food products and a quantity of consumable supplies is also included.
