Famous

Did you know my Spencer and our little Rhett are famous?!!!
That's right a lady from a VERY well known paper (ok maybe not so much) interviewed Spencer about what we do EVERY  Tuesday. Yes every Tuesday we go to the school and drink disgusting milk. We do this so that we can get free Aggie Ice-cream coupons and in just two more weeks we will each receive 50$ after tasting the milk 10 times. It's kind of a big deal, due to the fact that people started lining up to do this makes me want to vomit amazing taste test at 8:30 this morning when the test isn't supposed to start until 10:00.
So yes Spencer got interviewed for the paper. And Rhett's name was included. And the interview went viral so much that we didn't even know he got in the paper until emails from family members came with the link to the article.
But after reading this article it makes me question each news related event that is published.
You see Spencer is quoted saying:
“My wife and I are halfway to the $25, and the coupons provide a cheap date night,” 
Yes the coupons do provide a cheap date but no he did not say we were half way to 25$ he said we were half way to 50$
Also he was quoted saying:
“And the money we get will help out at Christmas,”
Pretty much Spencer never mentioned a single thing about Christmas! The money we get from drinking this toxic award winning milk will go to buying groceries, not Christmas.
Also another participant is quoted saying the samples taste good...??? LIAR!!!

Anyway here is the article

Taste testers drink up research projects at USU

LOGAN — Spencer Donovan’s first test every Tuesday morning is the easiest of the week for the Utah State University student.Donovan lines up with more than 100 other would-be volunteers each week outside of the sensory-evaluation lab in the Nutrition and Food Sciences Building for a chance to rate milk samples for commercial dairy research.The first 120 adults in line are asked to taste three tiny samples of milk and rate them on a computer for traits that can include creaminess, sweetness, tartness, overall flavor and more.Each participant gets a coupon for a scoop of Aggie ice cream. And for this research project only, people who rate samples for five or 10 weeks get $25 or $50.“My wife and I are halfway to the $25, and the coupons provide a cheap date night,” said Donovan, 28, a psychology major and dad to 7-month-old Rhett.“And the money we get will help out at Christmas,” he added.Rakhee Parasar and husband Parbeen, of Logan, also have hopes of making the holidays happier.“It’s for the kids, for gifts,” said Rakhee Parasar, guiding a stroller with son Abhiskek, 15 months.Stacy Banks, of Logan, stood in line with daughter August, 2.“It’s extra cash and a date with my husband,” Banks said. “Although it is much harder if you bring a kid along. But the samples always taste good.”The line stretched down the hallway and around a corner.“We always get more than we need,” Chin Yiap Tan, a student manning the door to the computer room and handing out coupons, said of volunteers.“The milk tests last Tuesdays through October, but we’ve had hamburger tests and cheese tests, and we may get steak soon.”As computer stations became available, Tan ushered each volunteer next in line into the small sampling lab.A small metal window slid open, and an unseen worker pushed forward a tray with a tiny milk sample, saltine crackers and a cup of water.Participants drank the milk, answered questions on the computer that rated the milk by a number of criteria, then cleared their palate with the water and crackers before opening the metal window and sliding the tray away.They repeated the process with three milk samples.On the other side of the wall, Nutrition and Food Sciences students prepared the trays and thanked participants through the tiny opening.Volunteers got ice cream coupons and card stamps from Tan before heading off for their Aggie cones, or heading home or to classes.“We’ve done research for our own projects or for outside food companies,” said Silvana Martini, an associate professor of Food Sciences who runs the test center.“It’s a great experience for our Food Sciences students, who design the experiments and the computer programs, collect and analyze the data, write the reports and communicate the results. Those are skills and experience that the companies who hire graduates are looking for.”Martini said companies like the sensory-evaluation service because costs are low, by corporate standards.It costs about $2,000 to get two samples tested, and that money goes for supplies and to pay the student workers.The companies using the service remain anonymous to all but top officials.Confidentiality is a big concern of food corporations, Martini said.So companies are happy to get data privately, food science majors get experience and something good for their resumes, and the volunteering public gets free ice cream.Martini said the sensory evaluation lab had no clients for about a year but has been bustling since August.Recent taste tests have been focused on protein shakes and various dairy products. One previous test required the school to train a panel of volunteers to appreciate the subtleties of beef, then rate samples for saltiness, sweetness, intensity, gaminess and more than a dozen other qualities.“People seem to enjoy the tests, and it helps our students gain skills they will need to build their careers,” Martini said.Milk taste tests will be conducted Tuesdays through October in Room 209 of the Nutrition and Food Sciences Building. Hours are 10 a.m. to noon, or until 120 volunteers are processed.The opportunity is open to regular milk drinkers, ages 18 through 60, who consume 1 or 2 percent milk.For information on future tasting projects, visit www.usu.edu and click on the events calendar, then select a specific Tuesday on the calendar.
