KB has been wanting me to share about something I had done back in seminary days. We had a Girl's Night In to hang out and watch a movie together, but started the evening with a popcorn-tasting test. I got several brands and types of popcorn (in hindsight I probably should've gotten several different kinds of "butter" popcorn...or something that was more consistent, it's hard to compare orville redenbacher kettlecorn with act II light butter popcorn) and popped a bag of each and put them in bowls (numbering the bowls from 1 to 10). I had everyone try the different popcorns and rate them from favorite to least favorite so that we could see the results. It was fun how several people were surprised that their favorite was some cheap no namebrand. I was inspired by a friend who had had an orange soda tasting contest (I would've done root beer, but not everyone likes root beer). Anyways, it's a fun social thing and you can pretty much use anything you want (ice cream?, potato chips?).

I love this! You can schedule some sort of tasting party for just a regular dinner or to do at a sporting event.
I just did a sparkling/fizzy water tasting party in conjunction with another event. I had no idea that fizzy waters could be so different.
I've attended a salsa tasting party, where you tried different kinds of salsa. For the main course we had fajitas and for dessert key lime pie. YUM! I think I should have one of these at my house.
