Getting paid to eat multigrain chips?

Would you like to get paid to eat? That can happen at Spectrum Discovery Center in Kannapolis. Their business card reads, “Help discover the next great product and get PAID for your time!”  

I recently participated in a panel of eight women who discussed mouth feel, texture, taste, crunch and visual appeal of a snack food that is in development. After much discussion about description and the best name for the snack food, we tasted five different multigrain chips. Some tasted like they contained a lot of corn, some had a sweet undertone, some were crispier than others.

To participate in a future study, visit Spectrum Discovery Center to sign up.  You could be the first person in your family to try the newest product in your favorite grocer.
