Internship Journal (23 January) : Paid in Chocolate

Soooo.... day one of my internship was a bit intimidating.  I started the day off visiting four competitors of ours and comparing their prices to ours... under cover!!  I made up the name of an "accounting firm" and gave them fake info when they asked for it.  Gotta do what we gotta do!  But I spent the majority of time setting up for a bloggers' event that we held later on in the evening.  We partnered up with a porridge company (yes, you read that correctly) and they were demonstrating how to make it for some people who blog/write articles about food.  Apparently it's a great way of marketing, because we hope that the people who attend the events will blog about it, and then their followers will come into the shop upon their recommendations.

So, to make the porridge a bit less boring, they spooned it into chocolate tea cups, then topped it with freshly made salted caramel and you eat it all together as the tea cup melts. It. Was. AMAZING.  I missed dinner for the event, but that helped make up for it a little ;)  Day two starts tomorrow, and I'm exhausted.  Can't wait to see what the rest of the job has in store!!
