Testing new flavor with friends
The situation
They wanted to test a new popcorn flavor with a group of friends over the weekend. The plan was to gather feedback and see how the flavor was received. This was a casual gathering, but they still wanted to be organized about it. They had made a note to themselves to come up with a simple plan for the tasting. They were looking for a way to make the tasting fun and useful for getting feedback.
