When people make food and beverage choices, elements like product names, packaging, merchandising, store environment, time of day, and emotions impact the final decision as much as the products themselves. For companies like ours, understanding which variables are the top drivers of purchase is crucial to staying competitive. 

We want your help identifying the most persuasive non-product elements of the food and beverage products you see. In your response, focus on providing thorough details and plenty of examples.
