If testing and quality were individual snacks, what would they be and why?

Would you prefer to eat a lot of one snack at one, seeing how two snacks mix together or sampling the full bowl of snacks?

As we all know, we can have our good days and bad days when testing. What snacks help you overcome those bad days and help with your mindset?

Ady Stokes
Which snacks are now the most disappointing, due to shrinkflation, cost rise, ingredient degradation, etc?
