The snacks used were all ready to eat and needed no preparation; they were served as they were. The samples were blind coded with three-digit codes, served in 8 oz (Styrofoam) and 3.25 oz (plastic) cups (based on the size and shape of the snacks) covered with a lid. One sample at a time was served to panelists in a randomized order.
