Objective:
Create hypothetical graphs to illustrate the potential results of two blind tasting events for a line of BBQ and hot sauces. The events were held in Wilmington, North Carolina and Alexandria, VA. The graphs should clearly compare the performance of each sauce at each event, based on the provided demographics and expected preferences.
