Bluepill Case study | Immi Ramen

How Immi Ramen Understood Taste vs. Nutrition Customer Preferences 100x Faster — at 10% the Cost

Immi Ramen used BluePill’s AI consumer panels to instantly test how shoppers balance taste, texture, and nutrition claims—achieving real-world accuracy in minutes instead of months, at a fraction of the traditional research cost.

The Goal

Immi Ramen — the world’s first high-protein, low-carb instant ramen brand

Understand how consumers react to nutrition trade-offs and ingredient choices in new product formulations.

The Challenges

Immi Ramen wanted to understand how real consumers weigh taste, texture, and nutrition when evaluating product claims — like protein and fiber levels, sodium, and sugar content.Traditional research panels take months and cost tens of thousands of dollars to uncover these insights. Immi needed answers quickly — without compromising quality.

Our Solution

Taste, Texture & Nutrition Trade-Off Simulation

BluePill simulated how real shoppers evaluate taste, texture, and nutrition claims simultaneously—revealing where consumers are willing to accept trade-offs and where performance expectations remain non-negotiable.

Claim Hierarchy & Bias Testing

Using AI consumer panels, BluePill tested how different nutrition signals (protein, fiber, sodium, sugar, ingredient order) influence preference, trust, and rejection—identifying which claims drive excitement versus hesitation.

Decision Logic Validation Against Human Panels

BluePill benchmarked AI-generated results against real human survey data, validating that AI personas replicated not just outcomes, but the underlying decision logic consumers use when choosing better-for-you ramen.
