Speaker 3: Enough about that, let's get too Today's super Live Way
Speaker 3: Lewis story.
Speaker 2: Levi and Ivy gaze out their front window, waiting patiently
Speaker 2: for the mail to arrive, well as patiently as two
Speaker 2: young kids can wait for a piece of mail to
Speaker 2: arrive that could.
Speaker 1: Change their entire lives forever. It was only two.
Speaker 2: Weeks ago that Levi and Ivy had entered Mister Crunch's
Speaker 2: Super Snack Taser contest at the grocery store down the
Speaker 2: street from their house. Mister Crunch was not only an
Speaker 2: amazing snack creating genius, but he was also super cool
Speaker 2: and someone that every kid in the neighborhood wanted to meet.
Speaker 2: He created new, salty, sugary, fizzy, icy, and fabulous snacks
Speaker 2: all day long at his huge factory at the edge
Speaker 2: of town. Mister Crunch was very supportive of their community
Speaker 2: and was always donating his tasty snacks for the kids
Speaker 2: to have at their school parties, sports events, and parades.
Speaker 2: And it wasn't just the kids that loved mister crunch
Speaker 2: as super snacks, a lot of parents did too. Whoever
Speaker 2: won the Mister Crunch Super Snack Taste or contest would
Speaker 2: get a chance to take a tour of his factory
Speaker 2: and taste all the new snacks he'd been working on
Speaker 2: before anyone else. And as excited as Levi and Ivy
Speaker 2: were about the possibility of meeting mister Crunch and touring his.
Speaker 1: Factory, their dad was just as excited.
Speaker 2: Hey, did the mailman stop by yet, said Levi and
Speaker 2: Ivy's dad peering out the front window as well, Nothing yet,
Speaker 2: Dad replied Levi. Yeah, we've been looking out the window
Speaker 2: all morning, added Ivy.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm sure he'll be here.
Speaker 2: Any minute, said their dad. And when he does, he'll
Speaker 2: be dropping off a letter that says I won the
Speaker 2: mister Crunch Super Snack Taste or contest. Dad, what do
Speaker 2: you mean you won the contest, snapped Levi. You don't
Speaker 2: know for sure, Levi or I could win, added Ivy
Speaker 2: as the low rumble of the mail truck could be
Speaker 2: heard driving up the street.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. You're right, said their dad.
Speaker 2: And as long as someone from this family gets to
Speaker 2: meet mister Crunch and tour that factory, I'll be happy.
Speaker 2: And if it's me, I tell him all about my
Speaker 2: idea for singing soda fuzzy floatin' bubbles that serenade you
Speaker 2: as you sip. Pretty catch tagline, right, But to be honest,
Speaker 2: Levi and Ivy were no longer paying attention to their
Speaker 2: dad as they heard the mail truck getting closer and closer.
Speaker 2: Just then, their dad noticed it too and ran up
Speaker 2: to the front door. The three of them then raced
Speaker 2: to the mailbox just as the mail truck was pulling up. Wow,
Speaker 2: I've never seen anyone this excited get their mail before,
Speaker 2: said The mailman makes a mail carrier feel good.
Speaker 1: Here you go and have a great day.
Speaker 2: The mailman handed a stack of mail to Levi and
Speaker 2: Ivy's dad and drove off. Levi and Ivy and their
Speaker 2: dad had just stood in the front yard by the
Speaker 2: street for a second, too nervous to look through the
Speaker 2: stack of mail to see if there was a letter
Speaker 2: in there from the mister Crunch, because as long as
Speaker 2: they didn't look, there was still hope that one of
Speaker 2: them was the winner. But they couldn't go on like
Speaker 2: that for much longer and decided to go inside and
Speaker 2: take a look together. Once inside, they spread out all
Speaker 2: the mail on the dining room table and one by
Speaker 2: one searched for the famous mister Crunch logo on the envelopes,
Speaker 2: and after what seemed like an eternity of searching, they
Speaker 2: saw it sticking out from behind an advertisement card for
Speaker 2: a new restaurant and a coupon for half off their
Speaker 2: next large pizza. There it is, called out Ivy, as
Speaker 2: she grabbed the envelope and hugged it tight. So one
Speaker 2: of us is going to mister Crunch's factory, yelled Levi.
Speaker 1: One of us won the super Snack Taste of contest.
Speaker 2: As Levi and their dad looked on, Ivy rested the
Speaker 2: envelope back on the dining room table. She had it
Speaker 2: face down so they couldn't see yet who was the
Speaker 2: winner of the contest. I think we should turn it
Speaker 2: over and look together on the count of three, suggested Leevi,
Speaker 2: looking a bit nervous. Sounds good to me, said Levi,
Speaker 2: and Ivy's dad Okay, ready, one, two, three, said Levi,
Speaker 2: and Ivy and their dad altogether. Once they flipped over
Speaker 2: the envelope, it took everyone only a second to see
Speaker 2: who the winner was.
Speaker 1: It's me, It's me, I want the contest.
Speaker 2: Shouted Ivy. At that point, her mom ran into the
Speaker 2: dining room. What's all the commotion about, she asked, as
Speaker 2: she looked at the envelope and quickly realized that Ivy
Speaker 2: was the winner of the Super Snack Taster contest. Levi
Speaker 2: and his dad were silent for only a second before
Speaker 2: joining Ivy and jumping all over the dining room with excitement.
Speaker 2: That's amazing, congratulations, Ivy.
Speaker 1: Said their dad, giving her a big hug.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's amazing, added Levi, sounding a little less enthusiastic,
Speaker 2: and it was easy to understand why he felt that way,
Speaker 2: since he really wanted to win as well, but he
Speaker 2: was still happy for his sister. Ivy didn't waste any time.
Speaker 2: Tearing open the envelope and reading what was inside, it said,
Speaker 2: congratulations to you, the lucky winner of the Mister Crunch
Speaker 2: Super Snack Taste her contest. As the winner, you are
Speaker 2: invited to tour my factory and taste never before seen
Speaker 2: or heard of mister Crunch Super Snacks before anyone else.
Speaker 2: But feasting on super tasty snacks is always better with
Speaker 2: the friend. So, as the winner of the contest, you
Speaker 2: are allowed to bring one person along to enjoy the
Speaker 2: tour with you. I can't wait to see you soon.
Speaker 2: You're Super Snack Creator, mister Crunch. Ivy could not believe
Speaker 2: what she was reading. Levi and their dad were both
Speaker 2: very excited when they heard the news. It was a
Speaker 2: total surprise. No one knew that the winner was going
Speaker 2: to be allowed to bring a guest until right then,
Speaker 2: so said Levi, smiling and nudging Ivy with his elbow.
Speaker 2: Do you know who you're going to take with you?
Speaker 2: Ivy's excitement and happiness quickly turned to confusion. She knew
Speaker 2: both Levi and her dad really wanted to go to
Speaker 2: mister Crunch's factory, so she had a big decision to make.
Speaker 2: But before she could give it any other thought. Her
Speaker 2: dad leaned over and said, Ivy, don't worry about me.
Speaker 2: Of course you're going to take Levi with you, and
Speaker 2: you're both going to have the best time ever. I
Speaker 2: can't wait to hear all about it. Levi jumped up
Speaker 2: and gave his dad a huge hug.
Speaker 1: Think you think you think you?
Speaker 2: Thank you, Levi said, over and over again. I can't
Speaker 2: believe I'm going to meet mister Crunch. Ivy hugged her dad,
Speaker 2: thanked him so much for making her decision so easy.
Speaker 2: We'll be sure not to leave out one little detail
Speaker 2: when we tell you all about our tour, said Ivy
Speaker 2: as she looked at her dad. The only thing left
Speaker 2: to do then was get ready to go, because the
Speaker 2: factory tour was the very next morning at eight am.
Speaker 2: Levi and Ivy hardly slept that night, and the car
Speaker 2: ride to Mister Crunch Snack factory seemed to take forever,
Speaker 2: but once they arrived, it was greater than they could
Speaker 2: have ever imagined. Levi and Ivy's mom and dad walked
Speaker 2: them up the huge walkway in front of the factory
Speaker 2: towards two massive doors painted to look like giant popsicles.
Speaker 2: And right before they could even knock one of the
Speaker 2: giant popsicles swung open and waited on the other side
Speaker 2: was none other than mister Crench himself. Hello, boomed a
Speaker 2: giant voice, as a man in a neon green suit
Speaker 2: wearing a hat that looked like an upside down ice
Speaker 2: cream cone greeted Levi, Ivy and their parents at the door.
Speaker 2: You must be Ivy. He was quite tall and bent
Speaker 2: down as far as he could to shake Ivy's hand. Yes,
Speaker 2: I am, answered Ivy, and this is my brother Levi
Speaker 2: and my parents. I'm so excited that I won your
Speaker 2: Super Snack Taste or contest, and I chose my brother
Speaker 2: Levi to be my special guest. Hi, mister Crunch, said Levi,
Speaker 2: almost too excited to speak.
Speaker 1: We can't wait to get started.
Speaker 2: Have a great time, said Levi and Ivy's parents, after
Speaker 2: giving their kids a hug and heading back down the
Speaker 2: giant walkway. We'll pick you up later this afternoon. But
Speaker 2: before they could leave, Levi ran after his dad and
Speaker 2: thanked him one more time for letting him go on
Speaker 2: the tour. Then he turned around and ran back to
Speaker 2: join Ivy. As they entered the factory, they finally could
Speaker 2: see just how magical and spectacular it truly was. Pictures
Speaker 2: of mister Crunch's best selling snacks hung all over the
Speaker 2: factory walls larger than life. Different doorways were spread out
Speaker 2: all around, with them labeled with signs like Salty Station,
Speaker 2: the Cool Corner, and Fizzy Factory.
Speaker 1: The best place to start is right here, said.
Speaker 2: Mister Crunch as he pointed to the door labeled the
Speaker 2: Salty Station.
Speaker 1: Let's get this tour going.
Speaker 2: Just follow me and get ready to taste the best
Speaker 2: snacks you've ever had. Levi and Ivy looked at each
Speaker 2: other with huge smiles on their faces. It all felt
Speaker 2: like a dream, and they had to keep reminding themselves
Speaker 2: that this was actually real life. They didn't want to
Speaker 2: miss a thing, so they focused in and got ready
Speaker 2: for an amazing snack filled day.
Speaker 1: Now follow close behind. I wouldn't want either of you.
Speaker 2: To miss a thing, said mister Crunch. The first room
Speaker 2: we'll visit is filled with my greatest potato chips, pretzels,
Speaker 2: and cheesy snack creations. I'm open to any suggestions or
Speaker 2: ideas you have as we go, so let me know
Speaker 2: exactly what you think. Ivy and Levi were ready for
Speaker 2: that assignment, and each grabbed a bag of mister Crunch's
Speaker 2: newest creation. It was a bag of potato chips shaped
Speaker 2: like unicorns. They were salty but also had a hint
Speaker 2: of strawberry. It was an unusual taste, but one that
Speaker 2: Ivy could not get enough of. Mister Crunch said Ivy quietly.
Speaker 2: Your unicorn chips are really good, but I have an
Speaker 2: idea that could make them better.
Speaker 1: Speak up, Ivy.
Speaker 2: I love to hear all kinds of ideas, no matter
Speaker 2: how wild or imagine.
Speaker 1: If your food idea is, it's important to give it a.
Speaker 2: Try, embrace your creativity, and more often than not, it
Speaker 2: turns out to be a great idea. And if not,
Speaker 2: and then at least you learned what not to do,
Speaker 2: exclaimed mister Crunch with a smile. He grabbed a clipboard
Speaker 2: from the table nearby and was ready to hear Ivy. Well,
Speaker 2: I was thinking if you dusted the unicorn shaped potato
Speaker 2: chips with a few rainbow sprinkles, it could really bring
Speaker 2: out the strawberry taste.
Speaker 1: Began Ivy, and salty and sweet treats are always great together.
Speaker 2: Ivy, said mister Crunch before pausing for what seemed like forever.
Speaker 1: That's a wonderful idea. Munchbots come out here.
Speaker 2: Mister Crunch called for his special helpers, the Munchbots, to
Speaker 2: take Ivy's idea and run with it. Wow, Ivy, did
Speaker 2: you think we'd get to see the famous munchbots? Because
Speaker 2: I sure didn't, said Levi, watching as the team of
Speaker 2: workers hustled out of the salty station to work on
Speaker 2: Ivy's idea. Mister Crunch then escorted Levi and Ivy into
Speaker 2: the next room of his factory, called the Sweetest Sweets
Speaker 2: and you guessed it. This room was filled with candies, cookies,
Speaker 2: and chocolates as far as the eye could see. This time,
Speaker 2: Levi was the first to taste the newest snack tree
Speaker 2: and couldn't believe what he was tasting. This is amazing,
Speaker 2: mister Crunch, said Levi as he nibbled the new candy
Speaker 2: that changed.
Speaker 1: Flavors as you chewed.
Speaker 2: It tastes like lemon, Now it tastes like cherry, and
Speaker 2: now it tastes like chocolate cake. Amazing.
Speaker 1: I'm glad you like it, Levi, said mister Crunch. But
Speaker 1: is there any way I could make it better?
Speaker 2: Levi thought for a minute and then said, what if
Speaker 2: you added a flavor changing center into the candy that
Speaker 2: complimented the flavor changing layers on the outside, like lime
Speaker 2: with lemon, vanilla with cherry, and.
Speaker 1: Ice cream with the chocolate cake.
Speaker 2: A truly inspired idea, young man, said mister Crunch as
Speaker 2: he wrote down the suggestion.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 2: Levi and Ivy then followed mister Crunch into the cool corner,
Speaker 2: where they saw more ice cream and popsicles than they
Speaker 2: ever knew existed. Ivy grabbed mister Crunch's newest popsicle and
Speaker 2: chomped away. As she was eating, she noticed popsicle had
Speaker 2: many layers, like the pages of a book. Mister Crunch,
Speaker 2: why not write a story within the popsicle, suggested Ivy.
Speaker 2: So each layer is a page of the story, and
Speaker 2: as you lick the layers, you can read the whole story.
Speaker 2: Storytime popsicles genius, called out mister Crunch. Munchbots, here's another
Speaker 2: idea for you, and don't forget Levi's double flavor burst candy.
Speaker 1: Choose either.
Speaker 2: As the day went on, Levi and Ivy tasted one
Speaker 2: super snack after another, until finally they reached the last
Speaker 2: room in mister Crunch's factory. Here we are at the
Speaker 2: last stop on our tour, the fizzy Factory, said mister
Speaker 2: Crunch failed to the ceiling with every soda you could
Speaker 2: ever imagine, and even some you wouldn't want to imagine,
Speaker 2: like meat loaf.
Speaker 1: That was a bad idea, but I wouldn't have known
Speaker 1: if I didn't try.
Speaker 2: As Levin and Ivy tasted some sodas, they found some
Speaker 2: they liked and some they didn't. But when Levi tasted
Speaker 2: one of his favorites, he remembered his dad's very own
Speaker 2: super snack idea. Mister Crunch, this soda is so good
Speaker 2: it makes me want to sing, said Levi. My dad
Speaker 2: always had this great idea for a soda that plays
Speaker 2: music as you drink it. You could call it singing soda,
Speaker 2: and the tagline could be fizzy floating bubbles that sarah
Speaker 2: nade you as you sip. Just then, Ivy turned around
Speaker 2: and heard what Levi was saying. That's dad's idea, she said,
Speaker 2: with a smile. You're so nice to try and get
Speaker 2: mister Crunch to make dad's super snack dream come true.
Speaker 2: It's worth a try, said Levi, and just like that.
Speaker 2: There are other ideas. Mister Crunch loved it. Singing soda
Speaker 2: has such a great ring to it, said mister Crunch.
Speaker 2: I'd drink that for sure. Since it was almost time
Speaker 2: to go, mister Crunch walked Ivy and Levi back to
Speaker 2: the front door, where their parents were waiting to take
Speaker 2: them home. They said their goodbyes before mister Crunch told
Speaker 2: them to keep an eye on the snack aisle at
Speaker 2: their local grocery store because he had a special surprise
Speaker 2: for them.
Speaker 1: That night.
Speaker 2: Levi and Ivy told parents about all the amazing snacks
Speaker 2: they tried and the ideas they gave to mister Crunch.
Speaker 1: I even told him about your singing soda idea, Dad
Speaker 1: said Levi. And he really liked it.
Speaker 2: Wow, Levi, that was really nice of you, said his dad,
Speaker 2: giving him a big hug. I guess we just need
Speaker 2: to watch the snack shelves at the grocery store now
Speaker 2: to see if it becomes an actual mister Crunch super snack.
Speaker 2: And that's just what they did. Day after day for
Speaker 2: about a week, Levi, Ivy and their dad walked up
Speaker 2: and down the snack aisles in the grocery store. Looking
Speaker 2: to see if any of their new ideas had been
Speaker 2: made into the next super snack sensation. Then one day
Speaker 2: it happened. They walked down the candy aisle and there
Speaker 2: they were, Levi's double Flavor Burst candy chews. Wow, that's incredible,
Speaker 2: exclaimed Levi. Mister Crunch's my idea. I have a candy
Speaker 2: named after me. Next, they ran over to the ice
Speaker 2: cream freezers and saw Ivy's Storytime popsicles.
Speaker 1: I have my own popsicles, Levi shouted Ivy. How cool
Speaker 1: was that?
Speaker 2: There was only one other place they really wanted to check,
Speaker 2: and that was the soda ale. They all ran over
Speaker 2: there as quickly as they could to find a group
Speaker 2: of people standing around a giant Mister Crunch display board
Speaker 2: that read Dad's Delicious Singing Soda. No Way, shouted Levin
Speaker 2: and Ivy's dow with excitement.
Speaker 1: LEVI, you did it. You made my super snack dream
Speaker 1: come true. I have my very own soda.
Speaker 2: That's great, Dad, and I bet it tastes amazing, said Levi,
Speaker 2: picking up a bottle to take home along with his
Speaker 2: bag of his candy and a box of Ivy's popsicles.
Speaker 1: I can't believe mister Crunch, all of our.
Speaker 2: Ideas, said Levi and Ivy's dad on a walk home.
Speaker 2: They were really wild and unique, but he believed in them.
Speaker 1: That's pretty great.
Speaker 2: It's just like mister Crunch told me at the factory,
Speaker 2: Ivy said, no matter how wild or imaginative your food
Speaker 2: idea is, it's important to give it a try, embrace
Speaker 2: your creativity, and more often than not, it turns out
Speaker 2: to be a great idea. And if not, then at
Speaker 2: least you learned what not to do. Ivy, Levi and
Speaker 2: their dad walked home that day, enjoying their very own
Speaker 2: super snacks, having learned that super dreams do come true.

Speaker 2: story and learned a little something too.
