Hey, I really enjoyed reading this article as I’d never really given that much thought to it before. I’ve personally always like the original flavors even though they aren’t my favorite but I do agree with you to an extent when you ask if they are simply underrated. I think many people strive to be different and unique and having a favorite flavor that’s considered ‘boring’ just isn’t going to fit in that image.
Your article was really well written and the surveys you conducted really showed how well thought out it was as well!
This topic paired well with a book I just finished. In "Blink" by Malcom Gladwell, he talks about the Coke vs Pepsi wars based on taste testing back in the 80's. They found that a sip test was really different than a test where someone drank the whole glass. I wonder what the results would be in a taste test with chips where you have to eat the whole bag. Another test could be pairing the chip with other food. Maybe the original flavor would stand out in certain tests. Fun article.
Could not agree more with you. Chips give that nice crunch to foods, especially lays chips in my opinion. But I also like barbeque chips with my tuna fish sandwich to give it some extra flavor. Your wide verity of graphs and insights definitely give you the authority in this matter. Well written and well done, good sir.
I've never really thought about some of the points you brought up. I know what my favorite flavors are but never really think about others. For example, I love vanilla but people say its "plain and boring" like you mentioned. Your article really got me thinking and curious to read more.
