TABLE OF CONTENTS
Snacking just isn’t what it used to be. It’s evolving, actually.
And for companies that make and sell sweet snacks, salty
snacks, carbonated beverages, and other high calorie
snacks…that could be good or bad or both.
Field Agent recently surveyed 500 snackers, split evenly
between men and women, to obtain a better idea of
snacking in present day America. We asked 10 questions
(right), to understand how snacking behavior has changed,
is changing, and will change. The survey addressed other
snacking questions as well.
