I finally decided to begin a series of taste tests to find which brand of a particular type of food my guys liked best. A couple of years ago I started with a blind test of beef jerky, served at our Superbowl party. The results were remarkable. I bought one bag of every brand of regular beef jerky that I could find at our store. There were seven or eight brands.
Each brand's strips were cut into bite sizes. The brands were served on separate plates. The plates underneath to identify which brand was which.
The results were amazing! Hands down, everyone chose the same brand of beef jerky as their favorite, except for one person. It was a brand that I never even realized they made beef jerky, until I bought the bags for the taste test. And the brand was... Slim Jim. Slim Jim beat out all the ones I thought would be the favorite, including all the heavily advertised brands.
Needless to say, I am changing brands of beef jerky to Slim Jim.
Today I tested two brands of Pork and Beans, Campbell's and Van Camps. I wanted to see which brand was best, before I bought several months worth of supplies. This test was only on my two guys. Campbell's won over Van Camps by a wide margin on the "like" scale.
