WHAT WE LEARNEDAfter testing, the Pro Fresh scoop was by far the best scoop overall. Some of the
characteristics that we learned are important in a scoop are: Easy Ejection, Comfort of Grip, and Well Balanced Leverage. Things that do not matter to consumers as much as we thought are: Appeal of Scoop and Aesthetic of Tool. Moving forward with the
project, we plan to design an ice cream scoop that meet all these important requirements, is cost-efficient, and has that WOW factor needed to seperate our scoop apart form the rest.
