First:The Tongue Test

 * We began with the food taste testing. 6 flavors of wings were lined up (numbered but secretly mixed) each person was to pick one of each in any order they wanted and pick out of the menu flavors which one they were eating.
 * All participants were able to name Jet Fuel.
 * The discussed how this makes sense as it is the strongest flavor with the most sauce.
 * The order they were determined correctly in was Jet Fuel, Honey Barbecue, Teriaki, Wimpy, Cajun,Honey Mustard

Second:The Bubbly Test

 * Each at a time we set up five cups of mixes with two drinks in it each.
 * Each individual had to take a sip of each cup and try to figure out what was in it.
 * The majority of mixes were fairly easy except when they involved both diet and regular soda as it was hard to tell that their was something without artificial sweetener in it.

Third: What could change the results? How did it?

 * To see if results would change or which students would have a harder time deciphering we made mixed drinks of three or more flavors. As soon as the number was above two people found it impossible.
 * No matter how many flavors were in the cup each person was able to decipher when Hawaiian punch or Root Beer was in the mix.
 * Some drinks when mixed with anything else made them notably worse, for example Mountain Dew Voltage was not a good addition to any concoction.

Meeting Adjourned: 9:02pm
