1. Did you prefer any food or drink brands other than those you usually purchase? No because the western family has less flavor but it's cheaper.

2. Were there clear class favorites in each sample category? Yes because most of our category's were the same.

3. Why are there so many brands of the same types of foods available? Because name brands are more expensive than non name brands.

4. What variables may have influences the results? We both grew up with coke and not Pepsi.

How could you control these variables in future taste testing situations? not growing up with just 1 thing so try out different things.

Yeah BUT Taryn AND Sarah BOTH preferred PEPSI!!! Don't tell dad!
