tastebase

Thank you @5harath for hunting tastebase! Let’s get dive in and get snackin. Today we're excited to announce tastebase, a new snack matching site. Say goodbye to bad snacks. Discover your next tasty adventure through tastebase’s daily snack matching algorithm. As avid snack fans, here’s why we started tastebase in the midst of COVID: 🥑 We were hungry for better: stuck at home during the pandemic, our team of snack lovers from Yelp, Philz’ Coffee, and Culture Trip, quickly grew tired of the aesthetic crazed world of Instagram. While we browsed based on branding, we realized we had zero idea about how the products actually tasted. So we wanted to help bridge the growing gap for other snack fans between what we see (aesthetics) and what we eat (taste). 👅 Taste is personal: each of our tastes are so personal to us. But then why were we being fed the same beautifully packaged brands over and over again? With over 20,000 new products each year and so much fluffy marketing, we wanted to clear out all the noise and personalize the experience based on our unique taste profile. 📍 An honest space: we wanted an honest space that focused on the #1 thing that mattered most to us, taste. Movies had Rotten Tomatoes, restaurants had Yelp, and books had Amazon. But what about snacks? We’re aiming to build a product that can be your personalized recommendation engine for all things food and beverage products. So no matter what you do or where you are, you can find the perfect snack for the perfect moment with tastebase! We’re hungry to learn, grow, and build an even tastier experience for you. The only way to do that is to hear from you! Thoughts, feedback? Also, what are the best or worst snack brands you’ve tried recently? Which food and beverage brands should be featured on tastebase? We promise to review the top 5 products suggested in the comments! Comment below. 👇🏻

@andrew_qin Thanks Andrew! Excited to hear what your new favorite snacks are. What do you usually like to snack on?

@t_ng2000 There certainly is! We've already began onboarding our first few dozen brand partners for them to start selling through our website.

@brad_schnitzer1 100% worth checking out their Zhong sauce too! Excited to see your reviews. The more reviews, the more snacks you'll be able to unlock ;)

@andrewcui Next up streaming snacks straight into your mouth ;) That's a really great feedback point re: the team-recommended lists or ways to show which lists are "best" (outside of just followers). Appreciate your perspective here Andrew!

@george_passantino thanks George! Powered by Quokka Brew ofc :)

@tex_dworkin the irony. Based on your values of sustainable packaging and seaweed salty snacks, I have the PERFECT snack for you. 12 Tides. It's one of my favorites. It checks off both your boxes. I think you'd love it. Check it out below :) https://www.tastebase.com/brands...
