1 INTRODUCTION
The entire history of economic progress can be summarized in the four-stage evolution of the birthday party cuisine. As a remnant of the Agrari-an Economy, mothers made salads, birthday cakes, etc. mixing farm commodities (vegetables, flour, eggs, and dairy products) which costed almost nothing. As the goods-based Industrial Economy appeared, moth-ers paid some money for premixed ingredients to save their time and power for other activities. Later, when the Service Economy advanced, busy parents ordered ready-made salads and cakes from grocery stores or bakeries, even though it was a lot more expensive than premixed ingredi-ents. Nowadays, more and more parents do not cook for the parties and do not even organize them. Instead,

Therefore, in order to create greater value, businesses are starting to arrange memorable events for their customers, and that memory itself becomes the product called "Ex-perience".
The term “Experience Economy” was first described in a book written by Joseph Pine II and James H. Gilmore in 1990, titled “The Experience Economy”. The term was described as a next economy following the Agrarian, the Industrial and the Service Economies, and is considered as a foundation for customer experience management.
However, Pine and Gilmore’s thesis has been criticized as an example of an over-hyped business philosophy. So, moving away from producing goods and services towards staging experiences – is it the way of the fu-ture or is it just a

But when the 21st century started, the boundaries for trade disappeared and economy recovered, people started to buy “innova-tive” black, green, red, yellow tea with different flavors, and ordinary tea did not bring satisfaction any more. What is happening now – the reader would wonder… Now “Bubble Tea” entered the country. Bubble tea is a drink originating in Taiwan in the 1980s, characterized by the addition of tapioca or yam starch pearls filled with yogurt, juice or jelly, into a tea/coffee/milk with syrups. People, especially youth, are so excited about it because they are free to choose whatever they want to add into their own-designed Bubble Tea, and the taste that comes out is so weird. The funny thing is that even if the person did not like Bubble Tea at all, the probability that he/she will come for it again, and then again and again, is still high because of emotions and experience that consumer gets during the process of choosing, tasting and biting tapioca bubbles through. Do the youth still remember about flavored tea? Can flavored tea still delight them? Who knows, who
He also says that because the consumer is experiencing what the expert and planner want them to, it means that they are being cheated or are missing out because they are being told what to see and experience. This causes the consumer to see and experience things through the lenses of the expert and planner. This takes away the ability of letting the consumer experience things how they would like or want. In
Where expert and planner worry about the planning of the experiences and the consumer does not worry because they just experience what they experience. Walker Percy shows that even when going to the same place, each individual consumer will have a different "it" experience and take something different away.
The early modern world period was from the 15th century to the 18th century. The majority of the population lived in rural cities. Life expectancy was not very long, and the lifespan was twenty-five years old. Diseases, famine, lack of medication, and improper sanitation contributed to the low life expectancy. Diet of the wealthy class consisted of bread, meat, and wine however the lower class’s diet consisted of fruits and vegetable.
Intro: When people eat food they do not think about what is in it, or how it is made. The only thing people care about is what the food tastes like and how much they get. During the 1900’s the meat packing industry had not regulations of any kind. All that mattered to the industry was that they made as much money as possible with as little expenditure as possible. During this times people were often made sick and died either from working conditions or poor food quality.
The three essays assigned this week had several common threads running through them. The strongest core theme is the rapid change in the food cycle in America and the vast changes that have taken place in the way by which we grow, produce, and process the food that average Americans eat. The food we eat now is drastically different from what our grandparents grew up eating and the three essays each examine that in a different way. Another theme is the loss of knowledge by the average consumer about where their food comes from, what it is composed of, and what, if any, danger it might pose to them. “Monsanto’s Harvest of Fear” by Donald L. Barlett and James B. Steele is a harsh look at the realities of food production in a country where large corporations, like Monsanto, have been allowed to exploit laws and loopholes to bend farmers and consumers to their
The American diet? - By improving the farming techniques, the corn production increased. This lowered the price of food, so that people only spent about 16% to 17% of take-home pays in food. By extending the rich of agriculture and transforming the way to farm, food becomes more affordable and fieldworks become easier.
The eating habits of Americans changed in the 1920’s. They began to eat fewer starches and more sugar and fruit. The biggest change was the demand for processed food, where before wives made meals from scratch. World War I brought canned and frozen foods. Initially the lead used to make the cans got into the food and caused people health problems.
However it doesn’t have a large impact on the food industry as such as consumers need to purchase food in order to survive. Although they may decrease quantity of foods they choose to buy, they are still willing to purchase basic foods that will sustain their health. Consumers are more likely during an economic downfall to spend their money on foods they require rather than want. The company as a result obtains an advantage from its competitors as they produce long lasting food options, which allows consumer’s to save during tough times. This highlights an opportunity for the company as they produce healthier and simple food varieties which many customers desire.
To get a glimpse into the effectiveness of advertisements during this period, one can inspect the brilliant advertising campaigns targeted at middle class women. The women were taking care of the home and would thus be most interested in many of the new household items for sale. The advertisements were meant to have consumers associate emotions and ideals with products. For example, The Kellogg Brothers and Charles Post both succeeded in making the American public associate cereal with healthy eating, and thus cereal became a staple of American eating (Eversole). In summary, there was a cyclical relationship between industrialization, innovation and consumer culture.
Parents will no longer be heavily burdened with the responsibly to take care of their children until early adulthood (because they will be butchered and sold as meat in the markets anyway). 5. A new culinary cuisine would be introduced and would expand the variety the cuisines that would surely bring delight to the landlords who are part of the society. 6. It is through selling children in the markets that husbands will be motivated to care more for their wives so that they can bear more children.
Besides the traditional items, such as the traditional music, cross talk and dancing performance, some new items were also added into our plan, like the scented tea, milk tea, tea meals and the DIY pottery making, etc. Our detailed entrepreneurship plan, which created a new business model of tea house, was high praised the professors of our university. This experience not only improved my understanding of tea culture, but also deepened my understanding of
Culture and memories are expressed through food. Everyone can identify themselves with a concrete culture and in every group there are numerous food dishes that satisfies one, or brings back peerless memories and feelings only they can relate to. Food itself has meaning attached to it, from the way it is prepared down to the ingredients used. Factors that influence food can be anything from practices and beliefs to the economy and distribution. Culinary traditions are important in helping express cultural identity.

Tea then began its global journey, and was spread across the world. The first documented cultivation of tea in Taiwan began in 1717 in a region called Shui Sha Lian (水沙連) (Allee, 1994). The British were later responsible for bringing tea to my own home country, India, where the tea culture is also very strong and significant. My own country’s strong tea culture allows me to look at China’s tea culture with much more depth and understanding. Tea was popularized as a beverage by the Tang dynasty, and the Europeans including the Portuguese and the Britons who brought the tea to the west.
