Do you live in a test market city?

[Iron Woode]

I do. Companies are always testing out new stuff here, especially snacks.

I always like to try out new things such as the Honey Mustard lays chips, 7up Tropical Splash, Humpty Dumpty XXX BBQ chips, etc.

anyone do this kind of stuff?

sometimes I even email them with my reviews on the products.

I know of a few food chains who have test stores in this area. Don't go to them too often as I dislike chain food (unless it's fast food and I have no time for better/real food).

If it plays in Peoria.....

There are places where companies gather and give out free supplies, but I don't think I'm in a test market (although, maybe I'm close to one!)

There was mellow yellow cherry being sold one place where I lived. That shit was vile.

haha, you're right ... when I was walking through London last year, there was a big truck handing out a pringles style can with Doritos's.

What is this business, if I may ask?

I am just curious.

 

[Scouzer]

Nope. Never. I've never seen a test product.

I used to see test products/services/fresh rollouts when I was living in Portland, Oregon. Lots of young, poor, educated people craving free/cheap stuff.

Columbus, OH. I don't know if it still is, but it used to be huge for test marketing. Diverse and within 500 miles of half the U.S. population, IIRC. Lots of retail and fast food here.
