Candy Trading

We all walked into a small dark room that had two projectors playing some video of the "The Pit" stock trading going on. We were in small groups of like 3 or 4. When we all got in, we were told to get on the ground and collect as much candy as possible. My team of 4 collected as much as we could and made a pile of sweet delight. We were then told that the candy counted as stocks and that each one had it's own value and that they were all going to change in value by the end of the game.

My team had some twix, a load of laffy taffy, 2 pumpkins, 30 gold hershey bars, 13 silver hershey bars, and other kinds of candy. We walked around looking at the price's for each of the different candies. Whenever I was trading I was trying to get a hold of twix or the the pumpkins. Alot of things dropped in value and some things increased in value. In the end, we had more things that had increased in value and less things that decreased.
