Hypothesis: Babies do not like BBQ Fritos

Purpose: To determine if our increasingly finicky eater would like BBQ Frito's.


Hypothesis: Do to an increasing hatred of textured food (other than goldfish crackers and graham crackers) Beckett will not want to eat BBQ Frito's. Additionally as his palette craves traditionally bland foods he will eschew the BBQ Frito's on taste as well as texture issues.


Materials:
1) One one year old baby

2) One bag BBQ Frito's

3) Camera



Procedure: Don't even think about this as a possible experiment until you're at Subway and the baby keeps trying to grab the package of Frito's out of your hand. Wait until you're frustrated trying to fight him off and then say, "Fine! Eat the stupid Frito. See if I care. You better not choke to death or you'll be in so much trouble."



Data:

A frustrated Daddy tired of defending his bag of Frito's from continual Beckett onslaughts.


Hmmm, what's in here? I think I'll open it up and have a taste.




Oh these are so good I can hardly stop grabbing them long enough to shove them in my mouth.



Conclusion: My initial hypothesis was incorrect, very incorrect. Beckett loved them. In fact he ended up dumping the package out on the table so he could grab them up easier.



Further Study: Will Beckett like Cheetos? Will Beckett like BBQ potato chips?

  1. My hypothesis is that Beckett will want whatever he's not supposed to have.

  2. Beckett will end up liking ANYTHING that is messy and powdery and leave his hands and face orange for days.

  4. PEER REVIEW:

    A very relevant and thorougly conducted experiement. This supports the traditional hypothesis established in behavioral science that children will be drawn to whatever is least healthy.
