Malcolm Gladwell's Spaghetti

In a video we watched recently in class it featured a guy named Malcolm Gladwell. He spoke of the food industry as an analogy for everything in real life. His main points of the speech were that all people have a different taste and preference. Also how you can't have a one kind fits all when it comes to food. His first example is Pepsi and Coke and how some people only like Pepsi and others only like Coke. His second example is about spaghetti sauce. It's about how there needs to be more than one kind of spaghetti sauce so everyone likes it. He talks about how you should ask people what they want instead of just giving them what you think is the best. Also about how only a third of people liked the original chunky sauce. When they started asking people what they wanted they came up with types like spicy and plain without chunks. He talks about how for everyone to be happy with what they are eating and buying there needs to be more than one type to choice from. And how keeping everyone happy is not easy.
