Aldo’s Favorite Candy

Hello!   I’m currently teaching The Unteachables (the book, not my class ^.~ ) and had an interesting question pop up about Aldo.  We looked up what Zagnuts are since we hadn’t heard of them. One of my kids pointed out that it was odd for Aldo to be so in love with them. Zagnuts are covered in coconut, and Aldo just proclaimed that he hated coconut!   

This got my class very curious!  Some felt that Aldo might be okay with toasted coconut, but not regular coconut. and others thought Aldo was just making up excuses to be angry at the vending machine 🤣 Either way, the curiosity won out–Why does Aldo like Zagnuts so much when they’re covered in coconut?
