Experimenting with Solids and Liquids

What will happen to  valentine heart candy when you put it in a clear liquid?  This is what we wondering.  So I brought three clear liquids:  water, Sprite and vinegar.   The first thing we noticed is that we didn't like the way the vinegar smelled!   Of course, as scientists we know that you DO NOT taste the experiments!   We predicted that the hearts would float because we remembered that heavy pumpkins float.  Much to our surprise the hearts sunk straight to the bottom in all three clear liquids.  However,  while observing the experiment we notice that the hearts in the Sprite were beginning to rise to the top!  We are going to observe them for a couple of days to see what happens.
