  词汇:snacks零食
  Are you feeling peckish? Maybe it's a while until your next meal, so perhaps now you're thinking about reaching for a brightly coloured packet with something delicious inside. Maybe it's time for a snack. You're not alone, we all do it – but just how much work goes into developing and making the snacks that we all know and love?
  First, companies have to work out what people have an appetite for. Traditionally, they might just have asked people about their snack habits. In today's digital age, apps can ask customers to swipe right on the flavours they fancy1. Companies can search the internet for every restaurant menu in a specific market, looking out for the latest taste trends and in-demand ingredients2.
  Snack trends also change over time. When British supermarkets were encouraged to remove unhealthy snacks from the shelves next to where people queue up, companies were quick to provide healthier treats. They can also reflect different histories of migration3. One British snack company found that flavours common in South Asian cuisine4 sold well in the UK, but less so in the US, where there is less of a tradition of Indian food. And demand for more sustainability has led some entrepreneurs5 to experiment with using insects as an alternative source of protein for snacks. Other brands market themselves as offering a fairer price to the producers of the raw ingredients.
  Of course, what might seem like the perfect idea might not actually be that practical. Ingredients that work well in a restaurant, might not work on a biscuit or crisp6. Snacks that contain a lot of fresh ingredients may have too short a shelf life to be a viable7 product. Some designs might need expensive packaging to protect them, which stops them being profitable8.
  There are many factors that influence our snacks. Those that are successful reflect our tastes and concerns but can be limited by the manufacturing9 process.
