How Immi Ramen Understood the Taste vs. Nutrition Customer Preferences 100x Faster — at 10% the Cost
BluePill AI vs. Real Human Survey
Client: Immi Ramen — the world’s first high-protein, low-carb instant ramen brand
Goal: Understand how consumers react to nutrition trade-offs and ingredient choices in new product formulations
The Challenge
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.
The BluePill Solution
BluePill simulated Immi’s target audience using its AI synthetic consumers — digital twins trained on custom data set built from real world behavioral, social and survey data. We ran Immi’s full consumer survey through BluePill, generating insights in under 15-mins. Each question’s results were compared directly with a real human survey conducted on real humans.
Results: Real-World Accuracy Meets AI Speed
Metric
Result
75%
78% alignment
8 of 9 questions (88%)
100× faster than human panel
10% of traditional survey cost
BluePill correctly predicted real consumer preferences for key product trade-offs:
Protein & Fiber changes for texture
Sodium tolerance for better taste
Perception of formulation “worth it” vs. “not worth it”
What We Learned
Consumers value taste balance — BluePill correctly identified that taste and texture improvements offset moderate nutrition trade-offs.
Ingredient cues drive bias — differences on “sugar listed” or “wheat flour first” showed where emotional and health associations matter most.
AI Personas mirror real decisions — BluePill accurately captured underlying consumer logic in nutrition trade-off questions.
The Impact
With BluePill, Immi Ramen’s team was able to:
Validate claim hierarchy and packaging language
Optimize nutrition callouts for upcoming SKUs
Confidently prioritize taste messaging in marketing materials
“BluePill matched 75% of our real survey results — at 10% of the cost. It completely changed how we approach consumer testing.”
