mmm

dried fruit maybe?

spices or something? rice, noodles?

does amazon sell any fresh food?

(not official questions)

edit: actually #5 rules a lot of those out

maybe ask if this item is a specific brand

Meat vs veg/fruit.
Fresh/frozen vs packaged/shelf-stable.
Cookies are considered a sweet?

Not official questions, just musings.

North American vs imported/exotic.

Same disclaimer.

I think getting the general type of food would be best.

I'm not sure the most +EV question to ask though.

What might one buy a lot of at a time, yet isn't that common? Standard meats, veg, canned goods are out by #5.

Leaning toward some kind of shellfish at the moment.

I propose we ask if it is animal-based as opposed to vegetal. After that we can go land vs sea, or fruit vs veg vs grain.

I like that.

Is it mostly made out of animal or animal by-products (e.g eggs)?

Ghost chilies fits too.
Personally I think the spices route is a strong way to think.

I like the nuts/seeds idea, especially because of Q10.

I'd think household penetration of nuts/seeds is greater than 50%, but maybe not.

I guess if we're talking Brazil nuts or something then it still fits. Almonds or something more mainstream probably not though.

Don't forget the hint, Nuts/seeds could be consumed on their own. Possibly sesame seeds. Spice looks like a good possibilty.

Hmm.. Nori comes in packs of 10-20, and isn't found in most North American homes.

You really think that over 50% of US households have almonds in them?

would be helpful to know naturally occurring vs man made, like nuts vs chips or processed grains/fruits/vegatables
