Conducting a Taste Test using 10 Human Subjects
Taste tests are a tool that marketers have been using for decades. The Pepsi Challenge was a great long-term boost for the soda maker beginning in the mid 1970's. The Whopper Virgins taste tests of 2008 may prove to be a successful campaign for Burger King.
1. You will conduct a taste test using 10 participants.
2. Select a packaged food product like chips, cereal, cookies, or ice cream, as examples.
It is suggested that you use a brand name product and its store brand/generic counterpart or you may use two different brands.
Be sure to compare 2 comparable products that taste similiar. For example: do not have a taste test of Life Cereal and Fruity Pebbles. You want to compare Fruity Pebbles with a Generic Version like Malt-o-Meal's Fruity Dyno-Bites.
3. Ask each respondent what brand of the product s/he usually buys before revealing the selected product.
4. Provide a detailed description of the process through which you collected the data.
