Neat experiment! Nice of them to make the code available. I’d be interested to hear more about the logistics of running it for the participants. Would be fun to do one locally.

One question - I noticed one of the tasters said “Knack.” twice in the comments. As an American, I’m not familiar with that word being used this way. Is this just a way of saying “Clever” or something like that?

It's probably a mis-translation from German. "Knack" is a german word that describes a specific sound - I'm not sure there is a precise English translation. The dictionary offers "click" or "snap" as a translation, "crack" would be another similar word.

I assume that in this case "Knack" refers to the bite of the chocolate and describes a hard/brittle chocolate.

Happy to answer questions about the participants.

For the "Knack": I'm not 100% sure either. I think he meant that it had a nice snap/crunch.
