While others are busy inventing new dishes, others are occupied studying their groceries. Facebook user Diuvs De Jesus, for instance, did a “comparative analysis” of local canned sardines brands—because he can. He broke down 555, Ligo, Mega, and Young’s Town based on quantity, length of the sardine, calories, price, and sodium content. The marine scientist also included short description of the sardines’ flavors. “I only sampled one can per brand and only the regular green flavor. Taste test is based on perception of three respondents (including me),” he said in the now viral post.
