Walkers crisps are looking for someone to come in and eat their snacks – and they’ll even pay you to do it
Food testers are being recruited by PepsiCo - which owns Walkers - to taste the snacks
YOU could be paid to eat snacks as a "Supertaster" as the company behind Walkers is hunting for people with specially honed taste buds.
It is the job of dreams for some - as they will help the crisp company decide which flavours to bring onto the market.
There is room for 60 of these tasters, with only one in four people apparently born with the ability to be a Supertaster.
The job requires commitment to snacking, and a serious understanding of palate maintenance.
As a bonus, successful applicants will be paid £8.51 an hour for their troubles.
The people who are perfect for the job should be able to identify the basic tastes - sweet, sour, bitter, salt and umami.
As part of the tasting process they will be asked to objectively describe the products on taste, smell and feel.
Tasters need to be a non-smoker and should be available for a maximum of eight hours a week Monday to Thursday.
Krystina Mason, who has worked with PepsiCo for six years, : "On a day-to-day basis we have to make sure our palates are clean – I like to drink lemon water.
"We are not allowed to drink tea or coffee because it will interfere with the palate.
Earlier this year Cadbury and Oreo opened up a mouth-watering job opportunity for a “professional taster” to give feedback on their products.
Mondelez, who own the iconic chocolate and biscuits brands, were looking for someone with a “taste buds for detection” to take on the role.
The job advert, which didn't specify a salary, asked for candidates with a “passion for confectionery”.
