Yahoo Finance How to score $500 for eating gelato
Would you be able to tell the difference between milk, Belgian and sugar-free chocolate in a blind taste test?
If your answer to the above was a resounding ‘yes’, then Gelatissimo has the perfect job for you.
Gelatissimo is currently on Airtasker looking for Aussies who want to taste-test their gelato.
And they’re offering $500 for it.
Yep - for $500, product innovation specialist at Gelatissimo, Anna, wants you to test out their gelato.
“If you’re confident you can assess the quality of flavours on the basis of texture, colour, smell and appearance and can evaluate the nuances of flavours as objectively as possible, then we want you to be our Gelato Taste Tester.”
“You’ll be required on Friday 27 September at Gelatissimo’s Sydney office in Rydalmere for four hours of intensive tasting.
“You’ll be paid $500 for your valuable time and even more valuable taste buds.”
These are Gelatissimo’s rules:
1. Make sure you’re in an environment with minimal distractions. Gelato tasting is serious business, so the sensory tasting needs to be as true and unbiased as possible.
2. Taste with your eyes. Is the appearance of the gelato visually appealing? If so, that’s a great start.
3. Next is the fun bit, the actual tasting. Taste from a spoon turned upside down and place the gelato directly onto your tongue to make sure you’re using all 10,000 of your trusty taste buds.
4. While you’re there, why don’t you take another spoonful (how can you resist?) and this time think about the texture. Gelato is known to be smooth and creamy, so make sure that requirement is met.
5. Have a cup of water nearby to rinse out your mouth between flavours, and then start again!
6. Your tongue and taste buds must be prepared for the job. The day before, please minimise caffeine, chilli and particularly hot food to ensure your palate is cleansed and your taste buds are undamaged. Please have a small breakfast to ensure your taste buds are at their most receptive. You’ll leave full, don’t worry.
Tough gig, hey?
