HERE'S WHAT I THINK ...

SALTY or SWEET? Which type of snack do you prefer? Actually, I prefer salty snacks ... I really do not have a sweeth tooth! I personally think it tells a lot about the person as to which they prefer. Is it something that's in the genes? Is it a male / female or Mars / Venus thingy? Is it geographical, ethnic, or age related?

Is it possibly astrologically-oriented? For example, I am a Cancer -- that's a water sign -- so does that explain WHY I prefer salty snacks? Can we say that a majority of Cancers and water signs will opt for salty over sweet snacks? Or is it something more profound ... like that time of the month vs. a football game and beer? Hmmmm...

Salty snacks research -- U.S. research study 

Wow ... look at Lay's kettle chips ...

The immense size of the salty snack market ($9.8 billion in 2007 in FDM channels, excluding Wal-Mart, and roughly $1.3 billion added by Wal-Mart) is evidence of how much Americans rely on these foods. However, the category is facing serious threats including competition from healthier alternatives outside the category and demographic shifts.

Salty snack sales have been supported greatly by the launch of better-for-you offerings. Some of the most successful brands over the 2004-06 period are lighter and/or wholegrain options including SunChips (50.3% in FDM channels, excluding Wal-Mart, between 2004 and 2006), Smart Pop (up 23.4%), and Baked Lay's (up 31.5%). Some natural versions of salty snacks have done well, too, including Tostitos Natural (up 31.3%) and Cheetos Natural (up 80.4%).

Since not every consumer is health-conscious, it must be noted that many of the more indulgent brands on the market are also growing. For example, in FDM channels, excluding Wal-Mart, sales of Lay's Kettle Cooked chips (up 33.3% from 2004-06), Tostito's Scoops (up 46.7%) and Fritos Flavor Twists (up 16.9%) have shown gains. --www.the-infoshop.com.
