Taste tortilla chips, get cash

TWU’s flavor chemistry program is seeking volunteers to taste test a new food product, and you’ll receive $5 for your time. The purpose of the study is to investigate the consumer’s liking and purchase intent for a new tortilla chip product.

Participants must:

  • be male (Researchers need 15 more male volunteers; the research requirement for the female percentage has been reached.)
  • be 18 years of age or older
  • have no food allergies or special dietary restrictions (religious, medical or otherwise)

Taste test sessions will be scheduled 9 a.m.-3 p.m. through Friday, Dec. 4, in Woodcock Hall room 113. Volunteers will taste the sample and answer a questionnaire, which should take approximately 20 minutes. In compliance with COVID-19 guidelines, the researcher(s) will be required to wear facemasks and gloves while conducing this study. Rooms will be limited to 25% capacity to maintain a minimum of 6 feet distance between occupants. Participants will be required to wear a facemask. Facemasks will be provided if needed.

Sign up today to volunteer for the taste test. Contact Joanna Sissons at jsissons@twu.edu or her advisor, Xiaofen Du, at xdu@twu.edu if you have questions.
