We both felt this would be true because many kids seem not to like coffee and young teens often enjoy the Frappuccino’s because they taste similar to a milkshake. 3. The operational definitions of the variables in our hypothesis are how to tell what age kids are, and whether a drink is cold or hot. Quite easily we could tell the difference between the cold and hot drinks because they
