He described green pea snack if light and easy to eat, but at the same time flavorful. He said it was something to enjoy without guilt. Also mango was praised – natural sweetness and very good taste made a strong impression. For both products, he highlighted that they seemed easy on the body and enjoyable to eat.

He described his experience this way:

„"The green pea snack was light and easy to eat, but the taste was pleasantly rich. It felt like you could enjoy it without feeling guilty.".
The mango had a natural sweetness and was very tasty.
Both felt light on the body and I really liked them.“

It was this contrast that resonated particularly well:
