Venn and the Art of Snack Development

Venn and the Art of Snack Development


Posted Thursday, April 23, 2009 - 1:47pm

I don't know how original it is, but this Venn diagram posted on GraphJam, a site for graph enthusiasts, should hang on the office wall of every snack-food marketer.

The diagram, created by GraphJam user "bluewolf482," comprises three circles labeled "quick," "cheap," and "healthy." At the center, where all three intersect, it says "million-dollar invention." Quick and cheap without being healthy yields "McDonald's." Cheap and healthy without being quick yields "three hours to make." And quick and healthy without being cheap yields "organic and overpriced."

The site, by the way, is brought to you by Pet Holdings, the growing online empire that also publishes Lolcats and the brilliant Fail Blog.
