Tastes Differ Between Girls and Boys

Tastes Differ Between Girls and Boys

Everyone has a different sense of taste, whether you’re talking about clothes, furniture or food. A recent Danish study has found that girls have a better sense of food taste than boys, while boys are the ones with a sweet tooth. This information will help food, drink and candy developers to determine future tastes for the products they manufacture.

 

The study also noted that girls generally like milder flavors, while boys tend to like the extreme sweet and sour flavors.

The Danish study of 8,900 school children, reportedly the world’s largest, will help food formulators better understand the preferences and tastes of children and young people.

The study included a complete kit of taster samples and detailed instructions. The tests included measuring the number of taste buds, quantifying the children’s sweet and sour taste thresholds and answering questions on their eating habits and fussiness over food.

Although everyone has the same number of taste buds, apparently when children become teenagers their taste buds change and so do their food preferences.

Vending machine owners can use this information to place specific candy where children and teenagers are mostly likely to be. That would include pizza parlors, convenience stores, arcades and supermarkets.

For girls vendors might want to stock their machines with the milder candies like Ice Cream Cones Candy and Skittles Candy . For the boys with a sweet or sour tooth try Super Sours , Sour Sweets or Sweet Revenge Candy . Vendors can choose from a huge selection of bulk candies at reasonable prices at candymachines.com
