ABSTRACT:
A universal and self-contained monitor for collecting data on consumer consumption of products dispensable by portions. The monitor comprises a supporting member capable of supporting a dispensable product thereon, a weight sensor in operative communication with the supporting member, and a recorder. The tested dispensable product has a product weight. The weight sensor measures the product weight as the portions of the tested dispensable product are removed therefrom. The recorder is in communication with the weight sensor for receiving and recording the product weight. Optionally, the monitor further comprises a consumer input device for receiving data generated by a user regarding usage and acceptability of the tested dispensable product. The results of the product weight measurements and the data generated by a user may be uploaded to a computer to create a data file.
